Check out the National Eating Disorder Information Centre's (Canada) new campaign. You can sign a petition on their site that directly targets the fashion industry, encouraging repsonsible selection (and retouching) of models in the advertising world.
Also, as I mentioned earlier, I will be speaking at a conference later this month in NYC dedicated to friends/family members of those struggling with eating disorders. Please pass on the Journey to Hope conference information to your family and friends--presentations will help them cope with your eating disorder and hopefully improve your relationships in the process. See here for more information.
If you'd like to get involved with Reaching Out Against Eating Disorders (one of the organizations responsible for hosting the conference), see their website for how to volunteer.
Begin your revolution now!

Dr Stacey,
