__Research Process Reflection__
The strategies that have worked for me on this project was to go to news sites and read the articles and watch the videos. I also read articles about eating disorders. Where I encountered set backs was when I tried to broaden my search and there were so many opinionated websites out there it was a little hard to sort through them.
