I have struggled with an eating disorder since I was in second grade. I have vivid memories of my mother finding out that I would throw away my lunch, and being assigned a teacher who would sit with me and make sure I ate my food during our lunch period. Back then, the mentality I was applying seemed simple: Food makes you put on weight, and I didn t want to put on weight because everyone around me always made sure to communicate that weight equaled something terrible.
By the age of 19, I was finally diagnosed with my two eating disorders and started to receive the proper treatment and therapy for healing; it took 10 years to get help. Yet, this reality is far too common in the lives of Hispanic women, who are more likely to suffer from eating disorders such as bulimia nervosa than white women.

WASHINGTON (Lusa) - The consistency and traditional approach to external relations of Joe Biden s new administration will benefit Portugal, political scientist and American University professor Paul Manuel told Lusa on Monday.
“President Biden and this administration, with the State Department back and able to do its job, means we will see much better relationships and more consistent policies,” said Dr. Manuel, who leads the Leadership Program of the School of Public Affairs at the Washington, D.C. based university.
In this view, in the direct relationship between Portugal and the United States, “there was never a feeling that Trump was particularly hostile” and the former President was not seen as a major threat to bilateral relations.
