As a 2019 NEDA Collaborator, know that recovery is possible.
Bulimia was the master over me for many years. As professionals provided inadequate treatment, my parents over the years reached out to many organizations. NEDA was one of them.
I will always be grateful for this organization and the resources they provided my parents when the research wasn’t there on minorities and eating disorders.

Pursuing a Life Full of Self-Love with @_kellyu
This post recognizes @neda Awareness Week in the US. #NEDAwareness
“I’ve been in recovery for about a year, which does not mean healed. It means I’m aware of my struggles, and now I’m working on it,” says 24-year-old Kelly Uchima (@_kellyu), who lives in Chicago. From elementary school through college, Kelly struggled with eating disorders. In 2015, she sought support from a therapist, and her relationship with herself started to transform, both IRL and on Instagram. Today her account, previously focused on fitness, is devoted to self-love. “Pursuing a relationship with yourself, your body and food in self-loving ways is such a journey that’s forever,” says the academic researcher. “I think that’s my biggest mission in social media: showing people how to become their own friend, their own supporter.”
