胖：我和我的身体一起生活的故事
VALDOSTA -- The community is invited to learn about the dangers
of eating disorders from a woman who battled with obesity for years
during a forum titled “Fat: The Story of 我的 Life with 我的 Body,”
held Tuesday, Sept. 27 at 7 p.m. in the Powell Hall
Auditorium.
Sponsored by the Office of Health Promotions, the event will
feature Dr. Jean Braithwaite, creative non-fiction specialist in
the English department at the University of Texas-Pan American and
author of the book, 胖：我和我的身体一起生活的故事.
Braithwaite will talk about her personal experiences with obesity,
temporary weight loss, eating disorders and mental
depression.
According to the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and
Associated Disorders, Inc. (ANAD), 25 percent of college-aged women
engage in binging and purging to manage their weight. Eating
disorders are said to have the highest mortality rate of any mental
illness.
“In the Office of Health Promotions, we educate students through a
variety of methods on eating disorders as well as many other topics
that our college students face,” said Health Promotions Assistant
Director Holly Wright. “We were given a great opportunity to have
Ms. Braithwaite on campus. She will educate the vs上 community about
eating disorders and her life’s journey with the disease.”
