NEDA Love. – McCall Dempsey

NEDA Love.

I am beyond excited, beyond proud and simply beyond the moon to have a Southern Smash article in the National Eating Disorder Associations (NEDA) Making Connections magazine.  During NEDAwareness Week, Southern Smash received wonderful support from the organization.  Shortly after our Southern Smash: LSU event, NEDA asked me to write an article summing up our Awareness Week experience.  I was so honored they would think of me and could not wait to write the piece…it was another full circle moment in my recovery journey.

I’ve been a fan of NEDA for years.  The support and resources they provide for eating disorders are simply outstanding.  Before I was able to say the words ‘eating disorder,’ much less admit to having one, I would scour the NEDA website, reading Stories of Hope and relating to every word on the screen.  Deep down, I truly wanted to admit my struggles and find help.   Even though it would be years until I sought treatment, the NEDA site provided a sense of comfort that maybe I wasn’t ‘crazy’ and that one day I would be free from this illness.

Thank you NEDA not only for supporting Southern Smash, but for giving that lost girl hope all those years ago.
