With so many outside sources telling you that your body ‘isn’t up to par,’ where do you turn for realistic encouragement? One group at Loyola University Chicago, the Body Image and Eating Disorder Awareness (BIEDA) group, has made it their mission to create a positive impact on campus by encouraging women to radically love their bodies. Run Your World spoke with executive board member and sophomore, Amabelle Palomares, to see how the organization has made strides in creating awareness of body image and eating disorders.

I enjoyed reading this article and thought it was really awesome that Loyola is bringing attention to self love. It’s a topic that not all schools touch that much and it’s nice to know that it is important at Loyola.
