Political Quotes

“Today I rise in recognition of National Eating Disorders Awareness Week. Millions of Americans across the country are suffering from eating disorders. It affects their health, their happiness, and can take their lives. I understand what they are going through because I personally struggled with an eating disorder as a teenager and a young woman. I am speaking up today in the hopes of raising awareness and providing hope. I want other young men and women who are struggling as I did to know that they, too, can overcome this. I want to tell them that I know it is difficult, but don't wait to seek out help. Mr. Speaker, by raising awareness, promoting treatment, and with early intervention, we can save lives. ____________________”
