I have never smoked but most of my friends do or did. At all the eating disorder inpatient programs mostly everyone smoked. They feared too the weight issue. I know for myself up to this issue that didn't get better quickly I took health for granted. Like I said I'm 28 but before this I had bad health problem due to my eating disorder and had been in a cardiac unit twice but bounced back quickly. I recovered last year weight and behavior wise. Young people don't realise there are sometimes no easy quick fixes cause they either don't feel the effects now or don't think it will happen to them. They assume everything can be fixed. I have a friend who because of her ed has to wear a bag because she can't control her bowels. This nerve issue has taught me how important health is and also to not stress about things that really have no meaning. If you don't have your health the rest of things don't have meaning.
