The most interesting source I've found thus far is a book called Understanding Eating Disorders by LeeAnn Alexander-Mott and D. Barry Lumsden.
I've found this particular source interesting because it includes various examples as to why eating disorders are caused, the history of them, and the psychology behind them. It explains how families, sexual abuse, etc. lead to one acquiring an eating disorder. It also explains anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa in detail, which is helpful since these are the two main eating disorders which I will be focusing on. It explains how those with eating disorders view themselves and why exactly eating disorders are illnesses, not just a call for attention, etc.
My topic has only changed in a manner that has made it more specific. Instead of focusing on eating disorders as a whole, I am focusing on anorexia and bulimia nervosa. This allows me to focus more on how our culture has impacted these eating disorders, while leaving out countless unnecessary details.
My challenges are finding a way to compact books upon books of research into one assignment. As time progresses, I do expect to change my research question even more in order to contain only the information that is truly needed.
The only research tips I have would be to not go overboard. Personally, I have a habit of trying to take on more than I can handle which tends to backfire in the end. Try to make the question one that is specific and not too difficult to address. As long as you are able to contain the information needed to fit the requirements, everything else can be taken care of as you progress through the assignment.
