The theme for World Disorders Action Day 2023 is « Real People, Real Recovery » to emphasize that evidence based treatment is essential, that government health systems need to fund quality and accessible programming; and that lasting recovery is possible and expected. #worldedday

#ThoughtfortheDay It doesnt matter how long it takes us to "get there" ✅ ONLY that we do It doesnt matter that we don't yet have all the answers ✅ ONLY that we keep looking It doesnt matter that we don't have… instagram.com/p/B8-uLDuHU9f/…
The epidemic we have on our hands if one of food, eating & body anxiety. Our minds - thanks to diet culture - have us convinced that if we worry about food more, we'll eventually worry about it less. But is that true?

“I had finally told the truth about my eating disorder to a medical professional—and she ignored the fact that I was making myself throw up, because I didn’t look like someone who would do that, or at least, not ‘successfully.’” health.com/condition/anorexi… #NEDAwareness #edrecovery

Parents: I know you want your kids to be healthy & happy. Kids need and deserve love and acceptance regardless of their body size. Please teach them to trust their bodies, not an app #WakeUpWeightWatchers

As an #eatingdisorder specialist I would not agree w/teaching kids that food choices should be categorized as “red,” “yellow” and “green." I can't tell you how many hours I spend with patients trying to challenge rules about good and bad food. #WakeUpWeightWatchers @ww_us

#wakeupweightwatchers @ww @KurboHealth it is COMPLETELY NORMAL to gain weight in childhood. See @CDCgov growth charts for proof. How predatory of you to launch a program for children to lose weight
