Law of Attraction Related to Eating
Disorders
As
I was going through the Eating Disorder chapter in Glencoe’s 8th grade Teen
Health, I noticed that the Law of Attraction applies. I don’t know why I was surprised. People
with eating disabilities believe specific things about their body. They look in the mirror and their body image
isn’t what other people
see. I have created a worksheet (with
answers to provide for a class discussion) where the information in regard
to eating disorders is organized in terms of the Law of Attraction.
One of the things I’ve
learned about most teens: their decisions are more emotional than logical. They
are made based on their desire for acceptance, and fitting in with a specific
group of peers. I don’t load kids down with a lot of information because they already
know about the “should or shouldn’t
list”. I focus on the students: what they want out of life, who they
are (I am List), why they behave a certain way (Personality Styles), and the
application of the Law of Attraction.
If the health book you use is not Glencoe’s, it would be interesting to see if you can organize your material according to the Law of Attraction.

Instead
of handing out a blank worksheet, I am enclosing a completed one for class
discussion related to a number of eating disorders (I am also including a blank
form to use as well). Dietary issues
greatly affect attractiveness, self-image, self-esteem, and a variety of other
personal issues that students will work through during their formative years
and in later years as well. Enjoy!!
This activity can also be used with a
Personality, Self-Image, or Nutrition Unit.
