Eating Disorders Awareness Week

Image
By
23rd February - 1st March 2015

Eating disorders can be characterised by an abnormal and unhealthy attitude towards food which can cause an individual to change their eating habits and behaviour.  An individual with an eating disorder may focus unduly on their weight or body shape which can then lead them towards making food choices that can be damaging to their health.  There are several types of eating disorder such as bulimia and anorexia nervosa which manifest themselves in different ways.  The causes are often put down to social pressure to fit a certain stereotypical body image.  However, the reality is that the underlying causes can be far more complex. 
B-eat (Beat eating disorders), is an organisation that aims to try and change the way eating disorders are viewed and improve the services provided to those suffering from an eating disorder.  Between February 23rd and March 1st 2015 B-eat are leading a whole week of events in order to raise awareness and help achieve their goals.
