​
Thanksgiving -- as well as any holiday or event that focuses on food and social gatherings -- can be an extremely stressful time for individuals struggling with an eating disorder. It can also be a bump in the road to recovery for someone who has previously struggled with an eating disorder, as the stressors of family and meals create an overwhelming environment.

Alright, it’s time for full disclosure here – how many of y’all in middle school captioned a picture you put on Facebook or edited with Picnik with the classic Maya Angelou quote: “Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away”? Did your sixth-grade-self truly believe this? Do you still believe this today? Even if you didn't use this quote to caption the pictures of you and your BFFs before Mom drove you to the school dance, I’m sure you've at least heard it before.
