Eating Disorders Blight Lives

Nicole Roberge's struggle with anorexia nearly killed her. Her experience, combined with her concerns about eating disorders in young people, compelled her to speak to a group of middle school students in Connecticut.
"She emphasized healthy eating habits and shared her near-death experience with anorexia. Later, when a group of five students sat down to talk about their body image, most said they think life is easier for thin girls."
One young girl said that before hearing Nicole's story, she was considering not eating for a week, but Nicole helped her see how unhealthy and dangerous it was. Source: GateHouse News Service
