    How can we sit here and let this disease kill our friends and family? I have already lost someone to this mess and I pray that people become more aware of this disorder.

    An article by David Henke in the Northfield News published May 13, 2009
    Documentary addresses eating disorders

    NORTHFIELD — Erika Greiner remembers what it was like to have an eating disorder.

    It started in seventh grade, Greiner recalled. She stopped eating for days at a time, and if she ever felt like she ate too much, she would run compulsively — sometimes up to 15 miles a day — until she felt better about herself.

    The anorexia got so bad in high school, Greiner said, that she would pack a turkey sandwich for lunch to fool her parents and friends, and then secretly take the turkey and cheese off the sandwich, leaving only the lettuce and bread. Then she would take a bite or two of the bread, and, worried about eating too much, throw the rest away.
