EDAW

As you may know

Eating Disorders Awareness Week starts the 27th February running until March 5th

Mary contacted me last week

To ask me if I would be interested in doing a couple of interviews with local press

So today I did a phone interview with a local newspaper 

It was all done on speaker phone 

And Mary was interviewed too

I hope we did a good job

As I'm very aware when doing these things that I am speaking for our whole community 

The interviewer was lovely 

Very kind and gentle 

And asked very intelligent questions 

Not just looking for the gory details 

I was quite a nervous nelly this morning 

But I was delighted to do something that might help others in the same situation

The press officer for our national health service gave a press release today 

And I was asked to supply a quote

I write a few lines about the myths surrounding EDs

And encouraged those suffering to reach out and seek help

Also

I am doing an interview on local radio next Monday morning 

That will be challenging as it will be live 

But again 

I am privileged to be speaking for our community 

I don't know if these publications will be on line 

But I will certainly keep you posted

I was away this weekend 

And I missed my dogs and Coco something serious 

Can't wait to see Coco tomorrow

And it will be intetesting to see how he reacts when he sees me

I spoke this morning about how much animals have helped in my recovery 

My dogs 

My horse riding 

Coco

They are a huge part of my life now

And really make life worth living 

Must dash

Just wanted to let you know about EDAW

See you in the next post....
