It seems like the media always goes for the shock value. It also seems like there are rarely articles, news stories, invention-type shows that are about bulimia or EDNOS and my guess would be for the same shock value reason. <br /><br />I do hope that woman is able to get the help she needs. I do worry however, that many girls who currently struggle will now find her blog and play the comparison game as she does post a lot of numbers and behaviors. I have been going strong in recovery for a couple years now and some things I saw in the article and on the blog raised red flags for me.
