Purple
Chocolate
Email: doug@purplechocolate.co.uk
Website: www.purplechocolate.co.uk/index.php
"We started this site due the distinct lack of approachable and
fun sites to help, advise, support and cheer up those suffering with eating disorders. Most
the sites we found offered advice but no support or looked like patronizing books of
condolence with lilies and black borders (for goodness sake!). So we decided to start this
up and form an online community which would generate a positive supportive atmosphere as
well as allowing those participating in the forums to make friends with people who know
what they are experiencing and be able to talk about anything (even just what kind of day
they had) without other people judging them."
This site is not like many of the other sites listed here,
although I believe it to be just as important. It has many forums for people to
reply to, read about, and meet other people through. The first step to recovery is to
understand that you have a problem and to talk about it. This site makes this easier by
introducing you to people with similar problems who understand. -OCC
This site has a lot of informative information on
eating disorders they list how they occur also they give single information
on each disorder. They
