I spose you could say I motivated myself on the 'Ok Magazine' topic - it just infuriated me that people are so careless about EDs. I decided I was going to start to do something about the ignorance toward eating disorders. I found a couple old magazines and newspaper issues and I'm going to begin writing a letter/story and send it in to as many places as possible, magazines and newspapers to begin with. I'd like as much input as possible on what to put in the story/letter. Some of it will be my personal experience, some covering the generality of eating disorders, the types, the facts... the reality. I want people to know as much as they can about eating disorders and understand enough to realize the media's portrayal of them is unacceptable and has reduced the insight of how serious they are to nothing but a fad, a joke.
If anyone wants to help, God bless you, and post here or message me. We can also talk over email or IM if you'd like. Any contribution will help greatly. This is something I'm making a dedication to, I will not stop; I plan on resubmitting the article as many times, as many years as it takes, until it's published. It needs to be done. Hopefully I can go even further than the papers one day.
And men - I know you're out there. Your input is just as valuable, and VERY much necessary.
Anyone, everyone, I need your help with putting together the article. I need to make it the absolute best it can be made. I don't care how long it takes.
So how about it?
