If you haven't yet discovered Arielle's "Wednesday Warrior" videos, then you are missing out. They are all great, but this week's video, challenging common stereotypes about eating disorders, is so important that I just wanted to give it a shout-out. I think it's really useful for both ED sufferers and anyone who knows/is close to someone with an ED.
I personally have dealt with a lot of frustration and shame about struggling with an ED for so long (literally half my life now), partly because of everything that it has taken from my life and partly because the issue can so commonly be seen as a shallow, selfish problem. This latter assumption is not true (it's always so much easier to say that objectively than to apply it to yourself), and I really, really think it's important to broadcast that message.

This definitely struck a chord with me too.
