MEDIA ADVISORY, Feb. 22 /Christian Newswire/ -- This is National Eating Disorders Awareness Week and Media Expert Teresa Tomeo is available to share her personal story of tragedy and triumph with adolescent anorexia that resulted in hospitalization and has been tied to her own infertility. Teresa explains to parents the ins and outs of eating disorders and ways in which parents can help to avert the disease in their daughters or recognize the symptoms.

"The illness played havoc on my body, which was going through puberty at the time. My periods stopped and there were other complications...But I believe that one never truly gets "over" an eating disorder. In many ways it stays with you."

Teresa's own personal struggles have become her message in the powerful, popular "All Things Girl" book series published by Cheryl Dickow at Bezalel Books.

Both Teresa and Cheryl are available to talk about ways in which young girls can be encouraged to embrace their own body types while also recognizing the needs that young girls have in which they so strongly desire to be accepted and "fit in."
