Fighting an Eating Disorder When It’s Hard to Want to Get Better

There are approximately 30 million Americans suffering from an eating disorder, and of those one in ten actually seek treatment.  For some it is due to barriers to accessing treatment, but for others it can be difficult to start the process of recovery.  Today’s story is repost through National Public Radio on the fight for recovery.

Throughout December we are sharing stories on recovery from those impacted by eating disorders in our mission to create a network for the recovery of eating disorders.  If you are interested in sharing your story, email info@recoverynebraska.com or visit our website.
