Revisited: A Letter to My Younger Self

Two years ago I wrote a blog in the form of a letter to my younger self for Eating Disorders Awareness Week (EDAW).

This year I have decided to collaborate with the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) with the goal to create urgency around the need to recognize eating disorders as a public health concern and to push the importance of early detection through screenings, funding research, and accessible treatment and resources.

I thought it would be interesting to re-read my letter and reflect on any new insights, challenges, or things I’ve learned while providing resources that have assisted me throughout the journey for EDAW of 2025, which occurs February 24th to March 2nd.
