have 'triggers' in this regard, we encourage you to do whatever you need
to do in order to keep your triggers at bay. Perhaps it might help for
you to remember some mantras:<br /> 1. I am unique and not comparable to anyone else<br /> 2. I am beautiful because I am alive!<br /> 3. My journey is my journey and I am committed to my health<br /> 4. My story matters and it is enough</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">b. We want to remind you that you are responsible for your health and
well-being while in DC. Please do whatever you need to do in order to
take the best care possible of yourself while you are in DC. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">c.
If you are someone in recovery, please consider what might be helpful to
you if you find yourself struggling while in DC. ie: do you have a
support-person you can text or call? do you and your treatment team have
DBT tools you can practice? do you have a recovery app that can help
you stay the course? DO WHATEVER YOU NEED TO DO IN ORDER TO BE HEALTHY.
</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">d. Take very good care of yourself as you prepare to travel
and know we all look forward to seeing you and advocating with you soon!</span></span><br />

recognition of eating disorders as a public health priority throughout the
United States. EDC National Lobby Day helps us fulfill that mission. On #EDCNationalLobbyDay, you will speak with your Members of Congress at meetings which the EDC has
set up for you. You will share the impact that an eating disorder has had on
your life, as well as talk about the #<a href="http://www.eatingdisorderscoalition.org/events/documents/AWAOnePagerforAdvocates.pdf" target="_blank">AnnaWestinAct</a> and how it will help those
impacted by eating disorders.<br />

being on Capitol Hill and meeting with Members of Congress to talk about eating disorders,
that Lobby Day<i><b> will
require a great deal of your emotional and physical energy. </b></i>To that end, we encourage you to prepare for your trip to Capitol Hill by taking
extra good care of yourself in the time leading up to the #MarchAgainstED and #EDCNationalLobby Day. Additionally:</span></div>

Training session at the Lutheran Church of the Reformation (<a href="http://mapq.st/1MbEF1p" target="_blank">212 East CapitolSt. NE</a>) (there will be a very light snack served, so please make sure to have breakfast before you come) From there, we will break into Lobby Day teams and go meet with our
Senators and Representatives. During the day, Lobby Day teams will take a break
from their meetings to get lunch together. <u>(please note that advocates are
responsible for lunch</u> ---there are several great options in the Congressional buildings and your team leader will accompany you all to a great location!) At 2:00pm, we will gather in the Dirksen Senate Office Building (room 106) to hear Senate leaders discuss the Anna Westin Act. Your lobby visits will resume afterwards and continue through 4:30pm. Shortly after you finish lobbying, we will gather back at the Lutheran Church of the Reformation and have a 'debriefing,' as well as participate in a closing session where you'll share about your experiences and we'll process the day's events.<br />
<span style="background-color: cyan;"></span><br />
<b><u>A Bit of Nitty Gritty</u></b>: At our Message Training session on the morning of Lobby Day, you will be provided
with all of the tools and materials you will need to make your Lobby Day enjoyable and successful as an advocate. </span>We will go over, in detail, the EDC's policy focus and you will have the opportunity to ask questions and practice
your lobby visits so that you are prepared for your meetings. We promise you that you
will be well-prepared to advocate!! You also have a Lobby
Day Team Leader who will be there with you throughout your entire day, so please rest assured that you are not lobbying alone and you will be prepared.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The senators note that although the law took effect seven years ago,
"...parity is still not a reality for individuals living with mental
illness and addiction, and that health plans routinely refuse to
disclose medical management information making it impossible for
consumers and providers to determine if the plans are treating
behavioral and physical health equally." The senators want HHS and DOL
to conduct an audit and issue additional parity guidance. </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">We will continue to advocate for the #AnnaWestinAct as a 'stand-alone bill,' as both are necessary.</span></span><br />

nervosa. ANGI is the largest and most rigorous genetic investigation of eating
disorders ever conducted. Researchers in the United States, Sweden, Australia,
and Denmark will collect clinical information and blood samples from over
13,000 people (male <em>and</em>
female) with a history of anorexia nervosa and 13,000 individuals without an
eating disorder. ANGI represents a global research effort to detect genetic
variation that contributes to this potentially life-threatening illness. The
goal of the research study is to transform our knowledge about the causes of
eating disorders to work toward greater understanding and ultimately a cure.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in participating, your contribution would include a brief
survey and a blood sample. If you have never had anorexia nervosa, but still
want to contribute, we invite your participation as well. Participants receive
a $25 Amazon gift certificate.<br />
<br />
Only with your participation can we achieve our goal of eliminating this
devastating illness.<br />
<br />
To find out if you are eligible to participate, visit this link and fill out
the survey: <a href="http://click.mail05.smallworldlabs.com/track/click/30245874/unc.az1.qualtrics.com?p=eyJzIjoiMkNxcU1UWWhiZHVfeHRXcW1GVVdoS21yZk9rIiwidiI6MSwicCI6IntcInVcIjozMDI0NTg3NCxcInZcIjoxLFwidXJsXCI6XCJodHRwOlxcXC9cXFwvdW5jLmF6MS5xdWFsdHJpY3MuY29tXFxcL1NFXFxcLz9TSUQ9U1ZfYjdLRE1EZDhTdU0xb052XCIsXCJpZFwiOlwiOTg0NmMwZjMxNzY2NGRmZGE1NTg5ZjVjNWZjYWNiMTdcIixcInVybF9pZHNcIjpbXCJiNzVkY2JlZTk4NGQyOTA3YTAwYjgxODc4MGFmNjY4OGRiMWQyYzdmXCJdfSJ9">https://unc.az1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_b7KDMDd8SuM1oNv</a><br />

to testicular cancer, stroke, and severe liver injury. Teens, especially those

false claims of dietary supplements, putting them at high risk for bodily harm. YOU can help put a stop to this! </i></span><br />

so I'm feeling much tonight thinking about all my friends who fell
victim to suicide because of an eating disorder or otherwise...and I'm
sitting in beyond-humble-awe that I was somehow able to choose not to
end my life on <a href="http://www.eatingdisorderscoalition.org/documents/KM_Speech_061302.pdf" target="_blank">June 13, 2002</a>.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /> I'm also thinking about the upcoming Eating Disorders Coalition National Lobby Day and the <a class="profileLink" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=1440046516253305" href="https://www.facebook.com/MarchAgainstED">MOM "Mothers & Others" March</a>.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A big part of the reason I am alive (so very humbly alive) today is because the Eating Disorders Coalition, <a class="profileLink" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=100008176713945" href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100008176713945">Kitty Westin</a>, <a class="profileLink" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=1454023691" href="https://www.facebook.com/sallycristgeorge">Sally Crist George</a>, Ron and Leslie George (<a class="profileLink" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/group.php?id=61851486054" href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/61851486054/">Tri Sigma's LESLIE GEORGE MEMORIAL FUND for Eating Disorder Awareness </a>).
I am just one voice -but I have learned, very humbly, that my voice
can make a difference. So I want to encourage you tonight: YOUR voice can make a difference --and YOUR voice IS necessary
regardless of what you might think/not think of yourself in this very
moment.<br /> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Back in 2002, I NEVER thought I mattered at all --I hated
myself beyond words can express...I thought I could never recover, never
be happy and that no one would ever care if I was alive or dead. If I
can pull myself out of all that (and more) and find my voice/happiness, I
encourage you: so, too, can you.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjik4PbCZ85DKV5oIQJyaiZg7-hKE5byrpW4BDUkaNX7MubFn4xBxmJ6j6NjGoTnwRvPqCUbLoNdNtK0n67jRoSj0Ga2c_MDLAqfhKpZ31VzWd_cH3Ah23jQKSnM5_R72-A_CN60VvzeDI/s1600/your-voice-matters.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjik4PbCZ85DKV5oIQJyaiZg7-hKE5byrpW4BDUkaNX7MubFn4xBxmJ6j6NjGoTnwRvPqCUbLoNdNtK0n67jRoSj0Ga2c_MDLAqfhKpZ31VzWd_cH3Ah23jQKSnM5_R72-A_CN60VvzeDI/s200/your-voice-matters.png" width="200" /></a></span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> It is a truly humbling thing to
go from hating oneself to knowing that I deserve to be alive. That is
something I do not take for granted. So tonight I want to encourage you
of just how important it is that you learn to know that you deserve to
feel truly worthy of being alive, happy and in love with your wonderful
body.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">My
heart was ripped open 15 years ago when <a href="https://youtu.be/kjFP_4P7EKc" target="_blank">my daughter </a></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><a href="https://youtu.be/kjFP_4P7EKc" target="_blank">died</a></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> of anorexia. My spirit
was trampled and I did not know if I would ever build it up again. Over the
years I have found ways to heal my heart and rekindle my spirit. I have built
scar tissue around the wounds and I have become a stronger person as a
result.</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I have seen progress in the
fight </span><a href="http://www.eatingdisorderscoalition.org/AnnaWestin.htm" target="_blank">against eating disorders</a><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> but I also see how far we need to go to win the

because I hear from sufferers and their family and friends every day. Reading
words like these reopens old wounds and crushes my spirit: “I am to far gone to
be helped at home. I cannot get the level of care I need. I know I will die of
this eating disorder.” How can this be? How can we still be fighting the same15
years later? How can anyone deny people who are suffering and facing death the
care they desperately need to save their lives? I will not stop asking these
questions until we have answers. I will continue to fight until I am confident
that we are doing all we can to train professionals, hold insurance companies
accountable and give everyone with an eating disorder a fighting chance. </span></span></div>

renewed hope and confidence that we have the support needed to pass federal

the eating disorders community face. During a recent visit with Congressman
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/paulryanwi/info" target="_blank">Paul Ryan</a> (R-WI) he asked me why anyone would oppose the Anna Westin Act and Congressman
<a href="http://paulsen.house.gov/" target="_blank">Erik Paulsen</a> (R-MN) stated, “It is clear that Mental Health Parity intended to
cover eating disorders.” <a href="http://www.amyklobuchar.com/" target="_blank">Senator Amy Klobuchar</a> (D-MN) who is one of our
<a href="https://www.congress.gov/114/bills/s1865/BILLS-114s1865is.pdf" target="_blank">champions for the bill</a> said, “Millions of Americans are affected by the
crippling symptoms of eating disorders but very few get the help they need…..Whether
that is due to late detection or insufficient insurance coverage, we should be
doing more to give patients like Anna the tools they need to overcome these
diseases.” My spirit is lifted and my heart continues to heal when I hear words
such as these</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">As EDC Fall National Lobby Day 2015 nears, I'm
reflecting with humble awe, and a rather sobering mood, on the <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/2515?q=%7B%22search%22%3A%5B%22%5C%22hr2515%5C%22%22%5D%7D&resultIndex=1" target="_blank">Anna Westin Act</a> and the incredible work that went into creating and developing this piece of
legislation, about which one Member of Congress recently exclaimed, "Who
wouldn't support this bill?!" </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">Before the #AnnaWestinAct was officially introduced,
years of forethought and research went into creating the bill. Insight and input was gathered from countless
sources --including, and perhaps most importantly, from all of you who who
reached out to the EDC with your stories about what 'wasn't working' in your
attempts at receiving eating disorder treatment. Insight and input was gathered from all those
who came to EDC National Lobby Days and shared with us your thoughts and hopes
for how to update the <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/111th-congress/house-bill/1193?q=%7B%22search%22%3A%5B%22eating+disorders%22%5D%7D&resultIndex=16" target="_blank">FREED Act</a>. Insight
and input was gathered from all those who shared their "Ideas or
comments/ways you want to be involved."
Insight and input was gathered from researchers, moms, dads, sufferers,
carers, siblings, husbands, wives, daughters, treatment professionals,
insurance experts, policy experts, Members of Congress, mental health
organizations, best practice guidelines, the <a href="http://www.aedweb.org/index.php/get-involved/get-involved-sigs-2/get-involved-sigs-5" target="_blank">AED World Wide Charter</a>...and the
list goes on. It is hard to be comprehensive
or succinct about all the input, time, research, forethought and sweat that
went into creating this phenomenal bill --a bill that has a very solid chance
of passing into law.</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">Passing the Anna Westin Act into Anna's Law was on the
forefront of the minds and hearts of everyone at the EDC when we finally sat
down to write the first draft of the bill.
With all the insight and input listed above and with boatloads of
Congressional research, we crafted a bill composed of not only solid-substance
that stands to help countless impacted by eating disorders, but also a bill
that includes no new spending --a key component in viable legislation these
days. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">The Anna Westin Act differs from the FREED Act in that
the bill provides that no new funding is appropriated to enact the bill. Having no new funds attached to the Anna
Westin Act was a difficult decision.
Having no new funds attached to it meant that we had to compromise on
some of what we desperately wanted to ask for in the bill, on your behalves. Thus, compromising was not easy -especially
because we know how diabolical eating disorders are, and just how much hell and
havoc they wreak on those who suffer, and their loved ones. But we also knew that compromising was
central to writing a bill that stood a true chance of passing. Don't get me wrong -we didn't compromise to
the point that the bill is watery. Not
at all! </span></span></span></div>

potential to change the way all health professionals and school personnel
address eating disorders. The bill calls
for the training of health professionals on early intervention and
identification of eating disorders; levels of treatment (including family-based
treatment, in-patient, residential, partial hospitalization programming,
intensive outpatient and outpatient); how to properly refer patients to
treatment; steps to aid in the prevention of the development of eating
disordered behaviors; and how to treat individuals with eating disorders. IMAGINE a world where medical professionals
are trained on all those things related to eating disorders! Can you fathom the
enormous ripple-effect of early intervention?!
Thinking on that brings tears to my eyes. I think of my friend Nicole who came to the
introduction of the FREED Act on February 25, 2009 --she drove all the way down
from Pennsylvania, hurriedly, after finishing exams. It was the first time we met in person. That evening she went to the emergency room
at a prominent DC hospital, for chest pains (Nicole had had open heart surgery
due to heart-damage related to her ED).
Nicole disclosed she had an eating disorder, that she hadn't eaten all
day and that she was having chest pains.
After waiting three hours, Nicole saw a doctor who said they didn't
treat eating disorders. She was
discharged shortly thereafter, having received zero medical intervention. After that experience, Nicole became a
tireless advocate --writing constant letters about the FREED Act and sharing
her story with Members of Congress, even while receiving iron infusions. On </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">April 25, 2010, EDC National Lobby Day,
Nicole was supposed to join me on the Hill to advocate. Nicole never showed up and I found out later
that night that she had died. Nicole
died as a direct result of her eating disorder.
But she also died from lack of medical intervention and lack of
insurance coverage for the treatment she fought so desperately to receive. <span style="line-height: 107%;">Would the Anna Westin Act have saved Nicole? I honestly think it could have. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">And that is something we thought about while
writing this bill, "What needs to happen NOW in order so that eating
disorders do not claim the life of one more precious human being?" To answer that question, we also considered all of your input from over
the many years that you have advocated with us, supported us, joined with us and
trusted us to lead the way on eating disorders
legislation. For that, we remain forever
grateful. </span></span></span><br />

zero hope that anyone on Capitol Hill would ever give a care about eating
disorders, let alone my personal struggle.
Meeting the EDC truly helped save my life. In 2003, as a new advocate at Lobby Day with
the EDC, I discovered I had a lot to learn.
It took me time to understand and get to know why the EDC advocated in
they ways they did, how they advocated, why they worked in the ways they do,
why they didn't pursue some legislative and regulatory efforts and why they
pursued others. In essence, it took me
time to learn to trust that they knew what they were doing and it took me time to
learn to trust the process of Capitol Hill.
Like so many, I came into eating disorder advocacy ready to fight and
with tons of ideas for how we could eliminate eating disorders NOW! When you have that exuberance and passion and
when you know how deadly and horrible eating disorders are, it can be hard to
be patient and trust the "process."
But like recovery taught me, learning to trust the process is part
of...the process. Trusting the EDC to be
in control of decisions related to a disease I knew all too well was not easy
to do either. But learning to trust the
processes of the EDC is something that made me a better person, professional
and advocate. Getting to know the EDC also made me aware that I LOVE policy and
regulation and the workings of Capitol Hill.
That is, in part, why I have remained a steadfast EDC advocate ever
since June 13, 2002. I still have the same exuberance and passion (it's increased, actually) and I am thrilled to be putting it behind the Anna Westin Act. From zero hope that
anyone cared, to the Anna Westin Act --simply...stunning.</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">One of the things that was on my heart when I started
writing this blog is that I wanted to offer everyone not only some of the
history of the Anna Westin Act, but I also wanted to offer the encouragement
that we know there is more to be done besides getting Anna's Law passed. And, as Kitty Westin says, "We know the
Anna Westin Act isn't the perfect bill."
Knowing that, I also want to encourage everyone reading this, and
everyone who is coming to Capitol Hill for the M.O.M. March and EDC National
Lobby Day, that if we stand united in our groundswell of efforts to pass #AnnasLaw,
it will have a rippling effect. The
ripples will not only have profound effects on the lives of those impacted by
eating disorders, but they will have an effect on the additional work that
remains to be done. It's like
re-nourishing the body --is one meal enough to fully re-nourish? No.
But that one meal has the potential to create the ripple effect and set
re-nourishing in motion, for a lifetime.
Similar is the Anna Westin Act. Its passage into law will offer an impact
with the potential for a lifetime of continuous effects.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">With EDC National Fall Lobby Day and the 2nd Annual

that many advocates struggle to come up with funding for their trip to
EDC National Lobby Day.<span> </span>We very much
empathize with you. Therefore, we want to offer you the encouragement that there are some
simple things to do that might help you make your trip to DC possible, as well as
the most cost-effective:</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">consider making an
"EDC National Lobby Day Fund" jar and depositing a set amount (or
loose change) every week</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">consider swapping
out things like a daily coffee/tea purchase for a deposit into your "EDC
National Lobby Day Fund" jar</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">start asking for
donations (monetary, frequent flyer miles, etc.) from family members</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">some advocates
have made GoFundMe pages to support their trip to EDC National Lobby Day</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">connect with
friends to share a hotel room</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">connect with
friends to share hotel-alternatives like a hostel or Air BnB*</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">consider
car-pooling if you're driving to DC</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">start looking for
flights today --save your search and get fare updates</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">consider staying
outside the district of DC and using the Metro to get to Capitol Hill </span></span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span></span></span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Those are just a few ways that might help you save for a
trip to DC so you can join us for EDC National Lobby Day.<span> </span>If you have other suggestions, please comment
on our blog or on our FB page!<span> </span></span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Of course, we also know that not everyone has "loose
change" to spare --eating disorders can wreak havoc on finances; we know,
we've been there.<span> </span>We also know that not
everyone can take time off from treatment (whether your own or the treatment of
a loved one), time off from work, or time away from family.<span> </span>We simply want to encourage you with this blog
post that if you <i>are</i> able to come to EDC National Lobby Day and the M.O.M.
March this fall, there are things you can do to help save up for your trip and
make your trip a bit more cost-effective.</span></span></div>

possible --please know that the EDC does not 'turn a profit' on Lobby Day...your
registration fee goes to cover the cost of hosting Lobby Day and that's all.<span> </span></span></span></div>

person, we will continue to offer ways to get involved from afar.<span> </span>But to that end, we do highly encourage you
to do everything that you can do (that which is wise and healthy for you), so
that you can come to Lobby Day.<span> </span>We
continue to hear from advocates --whether after their 1st or 20th time advocating
with us-- that EDC National Lobby Day is one of "the best experiences"
they've ever had.<span> </span>We want YOU to have a
chance to have that experience and we hope that you will be able to find a way
to join us this October 27 - 28th as we storm Capitol Hill with our voices,
stories, united message and our constituency-based influence.<span> </span> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Hi everyone,</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Was just thinking today about how complex our Legislative Process is and how little of it I actually learned as a high school senior in "Government Class." My true education about the Legislative Process has come from working and advocating on Capitol Hill. Wow, was I green when I started working Capitol Hill --I had a lot to learn! I had never been to or watched a Congressional Hearing, I had never met with Committee Staff, let alone been fully aware of what they do versus regular staff, and I realized quickly that beyond <a href="https://youtu.be/FFroMQlKiag" target="_blank">"I'm Just a Bill"</a>, I had a lot of learning to do. Luckily, people who work on Capitol Hill empathize with newbies. They are very kind to answer questions, not shame a person when they don't know all the terms like "hopper" or all the procedures about "voting bells" (see picture above), and they never think a question is out of line or stupid. ~ In the years since I first began advocating with the EDC, and in the years since I became Policy Assistant, and then later Policy Director, and Director of Social Media and Advocate Relations, I have never ever stopped learning about how things work on Capitol Hill. I still have questions, I still have don't have all the answers when a staffer asks questions and from time to time, I still need to refer to <a href="https://www.congress.gov/resources/display/content/How+Our+Laws+Are+Made+-+Learn+About+the+Legislative+Process" target="_blank">"How Our Laws Are Made"</a> to read the fine print about the Legislative Process (there's allllloooooottttt of fine print).<br /><br />All that to say, I thought it might be helpful to share a 101 Primer on How A Bill Becomes A Law with anyone who is interested and encouraged to advocate for #AnnasLaw. Below is borrowed from one of the best explanatory books about Congress, "Congress for Dummies" </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkcbx7m2ljGlNjyD65Kn0M3qce-NIPqFByR8CaC_Yg1hOJa48kvbIhhh2-2KXtKCe3MByiuRTZNCyKHykorARbPpE5b_Qi7RSDGFUjdkTP_pgqn2ypRnReV8GVkFaP-SSimD1XBTUFTjI/s1600/f633e6c3b3600d22f7197aefca9b6418.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkcbx7m2ljGlNjyD65Kn0M3qce-NIPqFByR8CaC_Yg1hOJa48kvbIhhh2-2KXtKCe3MByiuRTZNCyKHykorARbPpE5b_Qi7RSDGFUjdkTP_pgqn2ypRnReV8GVkFaP-SSimD1XBTUFTjI/s320/f633e6c3b3600d22f7197aefca9b6418.jpg" width="266" /></a>(highly encourage you get a copy if you like to advocate on Capitol Hill). If you find this overly simplistic, then please, by all means, join the nerd in me and (re-) read How Our Laws Are Made tonight ------></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Here is the Congress for Dummies explanation of How A Bill Becomes A Law:</span></span><br />
<br />
<ol class="level-one">
<li><div class="first-para">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The bill is drafted.</span></span></div>
<div class="child-para">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The bill must be introduced by a member of Congress.</span></span></div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="first-para">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">A member of Congress introduces the bill, and the clerk assigns it a number.</span></span></div>
<div class="child-para">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Most bills never receive press attention after the
introduction. Members of Congress often issue press releases regarding a
bill’s introduction, both to generate publicity for it and to create a
paper trail for their reelection campaigns.</span></span></div>
<div class="child-para">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Other stakeholders who support or oppose the bill
may get their opinions out too, either to make sure the bill is dead on
arrival or to mobilize support to see it through to the next round.</span></span></div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="first-para">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The bill is referred to committee and (possibly) subcommittee.</span></span></div>
<div class="child-para">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The Speaker of the House and the presiding officer
in the Senate are responsible for assigning a bill to a committee in
their respective chambers. The committee chair may then assign it to a
subcommittee.</span></span></div>
<div class="child-para">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Committee assignments are sometimes obvious; for
example, the ratification of a free trade agreement falls under the
House Ways and Means or Senate Finance subcommittees for trade. But
often, which committee has jurisdiction over a bill is less clear-cut.
Because committees can bring newly proposed legislation to a screeching
halt, supporters naturally favor assigning a bill to a committee in
which it’s likely to receive the most support.</span></span></div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="first-para">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Committee hearings are held.</span></span></div>
<div class="child-para">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">A committee hearing is the primary method for
members of Congress to learn about an issue. Hearings usually include a
panel of stakeholders from different sectors who discuss the many
aspects of the bill in consideration. Hearings are usually required to
be publicly accessible unless specific sensitivities, such as national
security concerns, come into play.</span></span></div>
<div class="child-para">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Most bills never leave this stage. Instead they are <i>tabled,</i> which means set aside and likely never looked at again.</span></span></div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="first-para">

<div class="child-para">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">When hearings are complete, subcommittee and
committee members examine the bill line by line and offer amendments.
While some amendments may be intended to genuinely improve the bill (at
least in the proposing member’s opinion), less politically palatable
amendments known as <i>poison pills</i> may be offered with the intent to wreck the whole process and force supporters to vote against their own legislation later on.</span></span></div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="first-para">

<div class="child-para">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">As with the committee process, floor procedures
are used by supporters in Congress to try to push a bill to a vote with
minimum commotion and by opponents to effectively kill it in its tracks.
This step is the final chance for stakeholders to influence the text of
a bill before it goes to a vote.</span></span></div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="first-para">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The bill goes to a full vote.</span></span></div>
<div class="child-para">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Like any vote, congressional votes are moments
when each side scrambles to mobilize supporters and make sure they show
up to make their opinions count. While private sector and special
interest groups obviously cannot vote themselves, they work to galvanize
support within Congress, the media, and public opinion.</span></span></div>

<div class="child-para">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The House and Senate must both pass the same bill
for it to be forwarded to the President’s desk. But at this stage, they
likely have passed similar but still different pieces of legislation. To
reconcile the differences, an ad hoc committee of members from both
chambers (a <i>conference</i>) comes together and negotiates a common text.</span></span></div>

<div class="child-para">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Even if he signs a bill into law, a president often uses so-called <i>signing statements</i> to attach his own interpretation to the measure, which can affect how it’s implemented.</span></span></div>
<div class="child-para">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">We are so very very happy and honored to share with you this news: <a class="profileLink" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=123436097729198" href="https://www.facebook.com/kellyayottenh">Senator Kelly Ayotte</a> has agreed <a class="_58cn" data-ft="{"tn":"*N","type":104}" href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/annaslaw?source=feed_text&story_id=10153505115493885"><span class="_58cl">#</span><span class="_58cm">AnnasLaw</span></a> in the Senate.

is just one of the reasons we are so proud to have her as our
Republican lead. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Some of the Senator's legislative actions on
#mentalhealth include:</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><a class="_58cn" data-ft="{"tn":"*N","type":104}" href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/senatorayotte?source=feed_text&story_id=10153505115493885"><span class="_58cl">#</span><span class="_58cm">SenatorAyotte</span></a> has introduced or cosponsored several bills that seek to strengthen our nation's mental health syst<span class="text_exposed_show">em,
including The Mental Health First Aid Act (S. 153) which would provide
support for training programs to help the public identify, understand,
and address crisis situations safely. In addition, #SenatorAyotte
cosponsored the Mental Health Awareness and Improvement Act, which
included modified provisions of the Mental Health First Aid Act and the
Garrett Lee Smith Memorial Act, as well as other important mental health
initiatives. When the bill came before the Senate as an amendment, it
was approved by a vote of 95-2! </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="text_exposed_show">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
#SenatorAyotte was a cosponsor of the Caring for America's Heroes Act
(S. 2276). The Caring for America's Heroes Act sought to improve mental
health care for military dependents and retirees. This bill removed
inpatient day-limits to promote access to medically necessary and
appropriate mental health services, helping to ensure that military
dependents and retirees covered under TRICARE are treated in the same
manner for inpatient mental health services as they would be for
treatment of physical injuries. This is a bill that EDC advocates have
worked to proudly support, as well.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">For her leadership on mental
health legislation, the Senator has been honored by the American
Foundation for Suicide Prevention and the National Council for
Behavioral Health.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> We are honored and encouraged to have
#SenatorAyotte by our side as we work to formally introduce #AnnasLaw in the
Senate. Thank you to the Senator and her staff!</span></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><a class="_58cn" data-ft="{"tn":"*N","type":104}" href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/thetimeisnow?source=feed_text&story_id=10153505115493885"><span class="_58cl">#</span><span class="_58cm">TheTimeISNow</span></a> to ensure <a class="_58cn" data-ft="{"tn":"*N","type":104}" href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/not1morelife2ed?source=feed_text&story_id=10153505115493885"><span class="_58cl">#</span><span class="_58cm">Not1MoreLife2ED</span></a></span></span></div>

specific legislation that will help prevent other families from suffering like
our family has. This has not been easy and at times it has felt like I was
pushing an iceberg uphill. I feel more hopeful now then I have ever felt; my
work and the work of countless others is paying off! The EDC has created a bill
that has a good chance of passing and finally realizing the dream of fighting
eating disorders with Federal legislation. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #2f5496; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Now that the Anna Westin Act (<a href="https://www.congress.gov/114/bills/hr2515/BILLS-114hr2515ih.pdf" target="_blank">"Anna’s Law"</a>) has been introduced, the EDC thought it would be helpful for advocates to learn how the “dream” of
eating disorder legislation became a reality. You may remember your 8th
grade civics class and the educational short film “I’m Just a Bill”? <a href="https://youtu.be/FFroMQlKiag" target="_blank">[Check it out on YouTube for a blast from the past!!]</a> ... Well, the EDC began working on federal legislation to
address eating disorders just 15 years ago. The EDC policy team has over 25 years of
experience working on mental health issues on Capitol Hill and we have a wealth of
experience and we understand the good, the bad and the ugly of politics. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #2f5496; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Like the video "I'm Just A Bill" shows, developing, introducing and finally passing federal legislation
is complex, time consuming and can be frustrating at times. Before new
legislation is introduced, there are countless planning meetings and thousands
of hours spent flushing things out behind the scenes. Hours of
discussions and hundreds of revisions take place before a proposed bill is
ready to “shop” around in Congressional offices. Finding sponsors who will
support the proposed bill is necessary, but sometimes it can be difficult. Once a lead
sponsor is identified, a new round of meetings take place before a bill is
given the go ahead to be introduced in the House or the Senate. This process
can be arduous and may take many months or even years. This process requires
patience, building relationships, negotiations and accepting compromise.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #2f5496; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Compromising during the drafting of a bill, especially when you
are passionate about your cause, is difficult. It is never easy to agree
to eliminate specific language from a bill that you know will benefit your
cause. However, being unwilling to compromise can produce a bill that will
likely die in committee, which is something no one wants. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #2f5496; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">A perfect example of compromise is the Mental Health Parity and
Addiction Equity Act of 2008 ("MHParity"). The EDC, along with our mental health colleagues and advocates, worked
tirelessly to pass a parity bill that was comprehensive and included all
diagnoses in the Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (often referred to as the DSM). We
both spoke at and attended Congressional hearings, met with Members of Congress in
both the House and Senate and we lobbied hard for our cause. However, in the
final hours we had to compromise. The inclusive language that we fought so hard to
keep in MHParity was taken out. If we had continued to dig in and been
unwilling to compromise, the MHParity bill would have died (aka:
never passed), and along with it, the provisions of the bill that, since its passage, has allowed
millions of people to access mental health and addiction treatment. So,
essentially, we lived to fight another day.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #2f5496; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Currently, the EDC is in a similar situation as MHParity was. As so many of you know, we all had a
comprehensive bill called the Federal Response to Eliminate Eating Disorders
("FREED") Act that was first introduced in 2009. FREED was the first
comprehensive eating disorders-specific bill in US history --over 200 years of Congress. To create FREED, the EDC held
two national policy conferences that brought together patients, families,
providers, researchers, education and prevention experts, advocates, and more --much like our EDC National Lobby Days do now. At the time we first created and introduced FREED, both houses of Congress
were fairly favorable to passing sweeping legislation that addressed mental
health issues. However, the climate changed in Washington, DC, and in
order to get a bill introduced that had any chance of passing, we once again had to
compromise. For example, we eliminated language from FREED that would
have put warning labels on diet pills and laxatives and we took out language
that mandated that the American Medical Association teach medical students
about eating disorders. As important as those provisions are to the eating
disorders community, we knew we had to compromise in order to introduce a bill that
would be supported by both parties. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #2f5496; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">As the political climate continued to change in DC, the EDC had
to once again step away and consider our next move. The result of this process
was the creation of a new eating disorders-specific bill: the Anna Westin Act
of 2015 ("#AnnasLaw"). The decisions related to what to include and not include
in #AnnasLaw were taken seriously and not done in a vacuum. We worked hard, did
our homework and sent our policy team into both Democratic and Republican
offices to get ideas and feedback. In addition, we spoke with EDC member
organizations, individual advocates and we invited the public to contact the
EDC with suggestions. We took all ideas seriously and into consideration. The
components of #AnnasLaw were carefully thought out to make it appealing to both
Democrats and Republicans. Already, many of our friends in both the House and Senate have
confirmed that they will support#AnnasLaw.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #2f5496; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">In addition, the EDC worked with our Republican and Democratic leaders over
many months and negotiated several revisions before a final version of the Anna
Westin Act was agreed upon. To that end, we are especially grateful that
we have bi-partisan support on Capitol Hill, which can be rare in this political
climate. Also, we fully understand that #AnnasLaw does not address every
single issue that could be addressed in a bill --but we do firmly believe that the Anna
Westin Act of 2015 is a very solid bill, with a high probability of passing into
law (which is pertinent to helping us have a chance to create long-standing
change). We encourage you that it is important to keep in mind that our work will not cease once
#AnnasLaw is introduced. Once #AnnasLaw is signed by the President, then we
immediately begin work to strengthen the bill and assist with the provisions within and the final rules (to the extent possible). In essence, please be assured that the EDC
will continue to work with members of Congress to address all of the issues
important to the eating disorders community, via #AnnasLaw and other legislative and regulatory work.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #2f5496; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The EDC sincerely hopes that the entire eating disorder
community will get behind the Anna Westin Act. I love the EDC, but/and, I am also Anna’s mom, so I come to you now as her mom: I am asking
you to join me in making certain that eating disorders get the attention of
policy makers in Washington D.C. To be perfectly honest, having a law
introduced with my daughter’s name attached has brought me very mixed emotions.
I have felt extremely sad because it is too late for Anna. I have felt anger
because why has this taken so long? And, most importantly, I have renewed hope
that we can get this done and Anna’s death will not have been in vain.
Anna’s law is NOT about Anna but it is about getting the attention of Congress
in a way that will help the millions of people who are affected by eating
disorders. <b><i> Together</i></b> we can fight eating disorders by making certain that
medical professionals and others are adequately trained, that Mental Health
Parity is enforced and that we truly understand the power of advertising and
the effect it has on the self-esteem of our youth. We know that by working
together we can continue to make progress in the fight against eating
disorders. #TheTimeIsNow for #AnnasLaw.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Today is the historic day that the Anna Westin Act of 2015 was officially placed in the hopper on the floor of the House of Representatives...and #AnnasLaw was thus officially introduced as HR2515!! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">We cannot find words enough to say how grateful we are to our champions on the Hill, Congressman Ted Deutch and Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, and their staff, for their commitment to helping us craft, draft, re-work, re-write and push #AnnasLaw through legislative counsel.</span></span><br />

But Anna's Law IS a bill that WILL solve SO MANY problems...and that will lead to greater awareness, greater understanding, less stigma and less lives lost to eating disorders!! #AnnasLaw is a necessary step in the right direction, with bi-partisan support, for all those impacted by #eatingdisorders and we truly believe that #TheTimeIsNow to pass #AnnasLaw.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Since the time #AnnasLaw was placed in the hopper this morning, we have already lost another 5 lives </b><i><b>(at minimum) </b></i><b>to #eatingdisorders...a treatable disease.</b><i><b> </b></i> Who were the five people? Who did they leave behind? What would their lives have become had they had access to adequate treatment, had their doctors been trained to identify and intervene...? We will never know. But what we DO know is that their deaths, just like Anna's, Leslie's, Reanna's, Nicole's, TJ's, and the countless others who have died from "ED", were unnecessary. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">^^^THEY ARE WHY: #TheTimeIsNow. Because every 62 minutes we let go by without passing #AnnasLaw, at least one more precious life is lost. <b>#MembersofCongress, we call on you to be the change.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">May all those who are counting on #AnnasLaw be filled with a renewed hope today.

<br /><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"> As you probably know by now, the Anna Westin Act of 2015 (Anna's Law) is named in memory of <a href="http://www.eatingdisorderscoalition.org/AnnaWestin.htm" target="_blank">Anna Selina Westin</a> who died as a direct result of anorexia nervosa and inadequate access to treatment. Anna's mom, Kitty Westin, and her family, have been tireless advocates since Anna's death -in hopes of preventing another family from suffering like their family did as a result of anorexia. And, as you probably know by now, Anna's Law focuses on "The Three T's" --Training, Treatment and Truth in Advertising. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: left; text-indent: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">(a) Risk of death among individuals with anorexia nervosa is
18 times greater than their same age peers without anorexia. It is estimated
that at least one person dies every 62 minutes from an eating disorder; at
least 23 persons each day; (b) Health consequences such as osteoporosis (brittle bones),
gastrointestinal complications, cardiac, and dental problems are significant
health and financial burdens throughout life; (c) At lowest estimate, 14.5 million Americans suffer from
eating disorders. One percent of adolescent boys and two percent of adolescent
girls suffer from eating disorders; eating disorders account for at least four
percent of all childhood hospitalizations; (d) Eating disorders are treatable biopsychosocial illnesses.
There is a high rate of co-morbidity with other illnesses such as depression,
substance abuse, or anxiety disorders; (e) Anorexia nervosa is
an eating disorder characterized by self-starvation, weight loss, fear of
gaining weight and disturbances in the way in which one’s body weight or shape
is experienced (body image disturbance);(g) Anorexia nervosa is associated with serious health
consequences including heart failure, kidney failure, osteoporosis, and death.
People who suffer anorexia nervosa are 57 times more likely to die of suicide
than their peers; (h) Bulimia nervosa has
a prevalence rate of 1.5 percent among American women, 0.5 percent among
American men; (i) Bulimia nervosa is associated with serious health
consequences, including cardiac, gastro intestinal, and dental problems
including irregular heartbeats, gastric rupture, peptic ulcer, tooth decay, and
death; (j) Binge eating disorder is characterized by frequent
episodes of uncontrolled overeating. Binge eating disorder is common: at lowest
estimate, 3.5 percent of American women and 2.0 percent of American men will
suffer from this disorder in their lifetime; (k) Binge eating is often associated with obesity, high blood
pressure, elevated cholesterol levels, elevated triglyceride levels, increased
risk of bowel, breast and reproductive cancers, increased risk of diabetes, and
increased risk of arthritic damage to the joints; (l) Many suffer from some, but not all, of the symptoms of
anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, or binge eating disorder, which is referred
to as other specified feeding or eating disorder (OSFED). Between 4 percent and
20 percent of young women practice unhealthy patterns of dieting, purging, and binge
eating; (m) Eating disorders are more common in women, but they do
occur in men. Rates of binge eating disorder are similar in females and males; (n) Academic evidence has demonstrated a connection between
the use of very thin models in advertising and consumer attitudes toward a
brand based on such advertising, as well as a material influence of the use of
such models on consumer purchase intent, conduct, and reliance; and (o) Eating disorders appear across all age groups, races,
ethnicities and socioeconomic groups in the United States and are associated
with substantial psychological problems, including depression, substance abuse,
and suicide. For children 12 years of age and younger, hospitalizations for
eating disorders increased by 119 percent between 1999 and 2006.</span></span></div>

related fact sheets and resource lists available on the public Internet site of
the National Women’s Health Information Center sponsored by the Office on Women’s
