Wonderful, time-consuming things are happening at Casa Juggling. My first post for UCSD is up! I am a hashtagging (#MAEDvocates), tweeting fiend over on the Twitter. Never anticipated having a long and fruitful exchange with these gals, but it happened--and 20K people or so had it on their timelines. If I have to change the perception of eating disorders one conversation at a time, I am willing to give it a shot.
#TruthinAds is what started the conversation and though I don't think airbrushed images "cause" eating disorders, I think they warp ALL of us and make most people dissatisfied with their bodies and THAT is bullshit in my book. I really hope this legislation passes at some point.
As I tweeted, it's one thing to sell us a fantasy, it's another to convince us it's reality.
Back to the keyboard! Guest post on social media for F.E.A.S.T on deck!
I believe I will go for sheer nonsense or non-ED rant on my next post--y'all deserve a little of that for sticking with me!
Happy Weekend, All!
Lots of irons in the fires Jenn!! Hell hath no fury…..like a woman on a mission!
XOXO

I have a friend and former colleague who seems to be in the final stages of anorexia. She is at the point where she is falling frequently, and when she does any skin that hits the floor or pavement just peels off. A few weeks ago when she fell in the parking lot, she also broke her jaw and lost some of her teeth. The situation is heartbreaking. Anybody who doesn't think this is a deadly disease has never seen the end stage of it.
