It Ain't Hemingway

So it’s my birthday this Friday December 9th. I’ll be blah blah years old. I thought it would be nice to take the opportunity to raise money for a charity that deals with issues that help millions of people who share the same struggles that I have. It’s the first time I’ve ever mentioned it on here but I think it is important to give back to your community or to a cause that has either directly affected you or someone close to you. It’s important to bring awareness and support if you want people to get the help they deserve.

Eating disorders are on the rise and affect women and men of all ages and race and are not just anorexic’s. There use to be something called the “Freshman 15” which referred to the 15 pounds women would most likely gain during the first semester of college. Now there is the “Freshman -15” where women are more likely to fall into a pattern of not eating due to pressure and stress. Eating disorders aren’t about food, it is much more complex than that and is life threatening if not properly treated. Please give what you can if you’d like to help.
