Since this week is National Eating Disorder Awareness Week, below are the links to the posts I wrote last year on eating disorders and some of the issues that arise when you combine rowing (and coxing) with an eating disorder, in addition to pointing out the different types of eating disorders, what the signs and symptoms are, and how they can impact your rowing.
Part 1: Introduction
Part 2: Eating disorders defined + explained
Part 3: Warning signs + symptoms
Part 4: Coxswains
Part 5: Lightweight Rowing
Part 6: Personal experiences with rowing & EDs
The post on lightweight rowing has been by far the most popular one so if you’re a lightweight rower, I encourage you to check that one out.
