The Association for Size Diversity and Health (ASDH) recently joined with national and international eating disorder organizations in urging people to focus on overall health, rather than their weight.

A PRWeb release provided the following information about the ASDH effort:

Last week the Academy for Eating Disorders, Binge Eating Disorder Association, Eating Disorders Coalition, International Association for Eating Disorders Professionals and National Eating Disorders Association issued an unprecedented joint press release expressing concern that strategies in the global "war on obesity" fuel weight prejudice and contribute to negative self-esteem, body dissatisfaction and eating-disordered behavior.

The ASDH echoes the concerns of these organizations and aims to educate people on the multi-dimensionality of health and well-being.
