Eating Disorder Awareness Month
2004 |
|
EDAM is celebrated every February in Edmonton and surrounding
areas in order to bring attention to those among us who
suffer with poor body image, disordered eating and eating
disorders. Events planned (below) for the month will help
patients, their friends and families, health care professionals,
and the general public realize that BMI is not a measure
of self worth. Don't weigh your self-esteem, it's what's
inside that counts.
