"You don't look like you would have an eating disorder." Crazier things have never been said. Here's the thing, eating disorders don't have a look. It's a myth that eating disorders are typically portrayed by a "skinny" individual. But the reality is far from that stereotype. Eating disorders can affect anyone, regardless of their outward appearance. They don't discriminate based on size, shape, or weight. Tweetable Quotes "When eating disorders were portrayed in the media, they said 'If you don't look like this, you don't have an eating disorder' and what's really ridiculous about that is that the majority of people who struggle with eating disorders actually don't look like that." - Rachelle Heinemann "If we think about what an eating disorder looks like, there is no such thing." - Rachelle Heinemann "The ultimate goal is for us to create some sort of harmony that if this is what you present on the outside, at the very least, you feel somewhat similar internally." - Rachelle Heinemann "What is so incredible about the recovery journey is that it doesn't have to be the biggest disconnect between your insides and your outsides." - Rachelle Heinemann Resources Grab my Journal Prompts here!
