Hope, help and healing from eating disorders

I recently met with a woman who was concerned that her 12 year-old daughter was becoming obsessed with her weight, and she feared the girl could develop an eating disorder.
Her fears are well-founded. Eating disorders are one of the most complex and devastating types of conditions that we face today.
