In a Mindful Eating therapy session, Renfrew residents have to eat a fear food such as Pop-Tarts, doughnuts, or candy bars and then discuss their feelings.

Lauren Greenfield’s photo documentary book, “Thin” offers viewers an intimate glimpse into the world of eating disorders. Greenfield continues to show unique stories and finds ways to capture such poignant scenes. The picture I chose captures the pain and agony of normal everyday moments that often come with an eating disorder. In this shot, the viewer can quite literally see the unease this box of Pop Tarts brings these girls. Such a seemingly simple task (in this case, of eating a snack) can be such a challenge when battling an eating disorder and Greenfield perfectly captures the struggle.
