Love Your Body Day
 Between 50
- 80% of college males and females struggle with body dissatisfaction.
This can lead to eating disorders, depression, obesity and other mental
and physical health problems. Love Your Body Day is an event
where
women and men come together to celebrate self-acceptance and promote
positive body image. These events are offered each
year through the
Health Promotion Department and other partners on campus. Call 644-8871

Raise your hand if you know someone who struggled with
an eating disorder. National Eating Disorders Awareness Week (NEDAW)

out of control or worry about body image. Call the Health Promotion
Office at 850-644-8871 for more information about
NEDAW.
