recently i have found some really good resources and articles about body image, eating disorders and promoting a better body awareness. last night i started reading a book called 'brave girl eating' written by a journalist who's daughter suffered with anorexia. it is very close to the real thing and she begins the book by saying she chose not to use weights, figures and numbers as she wanted the book to be helpful and avoid comparisons. this is refreshing as it is not about the number but about what is going on in the mind. some other interesting resources are www.bodymatters.com.au and www.b-eat.co.uk. number one though is the butterfly foundation which was founded by Claire Vickery who's two daughters suffered with eating disorders. just this month she was given a Medal of Order of Australia.
