According to the Binge Eating Disorder Association or BEDA (www.bedaonline.com), Binge Eating Disorder is the most common eating disorder in the U.S. "It affects more than eight million men and women and accounts for three times the number of those diagnosed with Anorexia and Bulimia together. "

This new staggering information only confirms the overwhelming need for greater support and assistance for those who are living with, and attempting to conquer, their eating disorder.

As a person who has an active spiritual practice, this piece of prose from spiritual teacher Marianne Williamson really resonated with me, and I wanted to share it with you. (Note: I fully accept that not everyone has a spiritual or religious path, and it is not a requirement for coaching)

The crux of this message is liberation from fear, which can benefit us all profoundly as we learn to stand up in our lives while encouraging others to do the same. What do you think?
