I recently came across a site called DivineCaroline, which is dedicated to women and features channels with topics that relate to women. You’ll find relationship advice, travel news, style tips, and more, and it all has a woman’s touch, so to speak. DivineCaroline.com’s Body and Soul channel, in particular, resonated with me. I happened to read their personal stories on eating disorders and support and I was surprised to find out that the content was all submitted by members. So often, I read magazines where a professional writer interviews someone about something like an eating disorder, but while reading these stories I found out that I really preferred reading about it in the words of someone who had been there, done that. It’s a bit like reading blogs, but the content all centers around specific content, so it reads more like a magazine series. Some of the stories were hard to read, especially the one I came across by a 16 year old bulimic, but the stories ARE amazing and informative, personal, and real.
