Laura Collins blogs about eating disorders daily, even if it is just a random thought she had throughout the day or a major story. She is a mom on a mission to eliminate the myths and misunderstandings about eating disorders. She wants to people to know that eating disorders are actually brain disorders and she wants parents to be aware that they can really be apart of the solution. There is a section dedicated to things about eating disorders she wants people to know, and this list includes things such as: denial is part of the illness, head of NIMH says it is a "Brian disorder", how to reduce stigma surrounding eating disorders, and comparing different types of eating disorders. Laura is a supporter of the Maudsley approach to treatment and has a section of her page dedicate to explaining this approach as well as comparing it to other approaches.

The writer of this blog who goes by Angelique only has designed a site based on personal experiences and day-to-day feelings and emotions about eating disorders in life and in society. She discusses the conflicts that exist in society about health and what is ideal and what is realistic. She writes about published articles, which slightly gives the site more credibility on the account of her recognition of factual researched publications. The site is also loaded with helpful links to informational websites, treatment organizations as well as other related illnesses.
