Eating Disorders - Erin battled for years with what is defined as a “binge eating disorder” and was able to break her unhealthy habits and develop a positive relationship with food. She wants to communicate the message that if you’re out there struggling, you’re not alone. If she was able to overcome so can you. For the first half of the show we focus on her personal story and testimony. The second half we start breaking into societal factors and the importance of focusing on being healthy, rather than trying to achieve a certain image. Your relationship with food has an immense impact on your life and Erin’s story testifies to that fact. Out of all mental illnesses, eating disorders have the highest mortality rate, above schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. My hope is to bring awareness to the subject and I thank Erin for having the courage to share her story.
