Be Comfy in Your Genes
February 28, 2006 - א' אדר תשס"ו • Category: misc •
It’s National Eating Disorders Week
NEDAW, in its 19th year, will highlight the fact that body size and shape are strongly influenced by biological factors – such as genetics, while also calling attention to some of the new discoveries surrounding the role of genetics in the development of eating disorders.
Also please remember that some are born small with skinny waists. They might not be happy with how they are either and struggle to maintain an “appropriate” weight. Please don’t force them to eat more then they can handle, they are well aware of their own strengths and weaknesses. Each body is different and that is what makes us all unique. Lastly, don’t forget that anyone can have an eating disorder: male, female, young, or old.
