For Mindy, the protagonist of “Eat, and Love Yourself” it was a childhood full of well intentioned but less than supportive people, and some who were downright nasty. There’s many factors that cause eating disorders. They don’t discriminate, they touch people you may least expect – – and in our time of isolation and lockdown, may even seem harder to treat without a loving community by your side. (Case in point: my knitting guild’s board meeting I attended via Zoom earlier this week spent 45 minutes discussing everyone’s various walking routines.) Whether it’s embracing the Quarantine 15 or looking to shed a few pounds so you get out of a high risk group for COVID-19, staying home doesn’t mean neglecting your weight.įor many men and women, the desire to stay trim and fit crosses the line into eating disorders, an illness both mental and physical. If you or a loved one is dealing with an eating disorder, help and resources are available at Quarantine or not, everyone’s talking about keeping off the pounds. But will she be able to find a way back to her present, and just as important, a way to treat herself with love and kindness, at any size? Join writer/artist Sweeney Boo (Marvel Action: Captain Marvel) on a journey of self-discovery, self-acceptance, and just a bit of magic.

When she accidentally discovers a magic chocolate bar that will give her a chance to revisit her past, she thinks she has a chance to put her life back on track.

Mindy is a young woman living with an eating disorder and trapped in a battle for her own self-worth.
