There’s no shortage of excitement surrounding each detail it takes to personalize your upcoming home with decorating inspiration.

It’s easy to pick up a magazine with articles about health and fitness, how to improve a running time, or how to increase muscle size, all of which are positive. There are barriers for every sport known, but how do you overcome the obstacles?
Does it take a support system, or can an individual tackle the situation alone? In keeping with sharing information and motivation and overcoming barriers, this column is about the barrier of anorexia nervosa, an eating disorder characterized by weight loss; difficulties maintaining an appropriate body weight for height, age, and stature; and, in many individuals, distorted body image. People with anorexia generally restrict the number of calories and the types of food they eat.
