I am on the board of the Eating Disorders Coalition of Tennessee (EDCT), and I just received an email about a unique way to support the organization. Christie Cookies will donate money to charities that get the most votes here: http://ilovechristiecookies.com/contest/ This only takes a few seconds, and it could really help the EDCT! (For "charity contact name," you can write Jennifer Katzenmiller.)
This is an interesting idea for me, because in my Ed days, cookies were terrifying to me. Cookies seemed to be the enemy through the insane thinking of my eating disorder. Today, it is such a breath of fresh air that cookies are just cookies. And, to me, they taste very good!
I think it is especially cool that cookies (something that many people with eating disorders dread) could actually help support recovery through this unique opportunity. So please vote!
Hugs,
Jenni
I have a love/hate cookie relationship too Jenni, i wish I could vote, but I'm not sure If I'm allowed as I'm in the UK. But thanks for posting this anyway. I've been a bit down recently but when I read your blog, no matter what it says, it seems to cheer me up a bit! =]
Thanks

That is such a good idea! Now that I am "Ed free" I, too, enjoy the taste of a yummy cookie. I will definitely go over there and vote.
