The poll results below are not an exact science. We do the best we can to ensure the visitors only vote once, but to a certain extent that is impossible to control. Our polling area is to just help give our visitors a general idea of real-time statistics from the sufferers who are visiting The Something Fishy Website on Eating Disorders

Each month we will be conducting a new poll. Polls will always be related to the topic of Eating Disorders and/or recovery from them. The current poll will always be available through the main page of the site, and previous polls will be archived here so that their results can be easily accessed.

We are always interested in hearing suggesting from our visitors. Have an idea for a future survey? Is there a question you would like to see asked? Be sure to send us feedback using our contact form.
