Today my book is released! From being an athlete with a dream of running for GB to becoming a revolving door patient. It felt all hope was lost. But I'm now in recovery, an athlete, & running free from anorexia. I hope sharing my story will help others. amazon.co.uk/Running-Free-My…
Please do get involved if you can in this really important research
I’m researching the eating disorder voice (EDV) experience- please share this advert if you can! I’d be so grateful. And if you’re over 18 and have experience of an EDV, follow this link to find out more: cardiffunipsych.eu.qualtrics…
What a ridiculous headline. We don't see headlines like "Millions using inhalers for five years or more."
Anti-depressants and many other psychiatric meds can help to save people's lives. Stop shaming them and those that use them.

Feedback like this is just 💗
We’ve heard from some truly incredible humans today, but this lady just blew the 🚪 off. Powerful, humble, emotive 😢 & perhaps most importantly, happening right now in sport. ‘To run faster you need to lose weight’. 🤬 🤦 Pls check out her words, her work, her 📕 @LittlebexQ
Can't wait for the Everything in Sport conference tomorrow! I will be sharing my story of developing an eating disorder as an athlete. Honoured to be a part of this innovative action packed two day conference @everythinginspt
The waistband in my trousers broke at work today and my trousers fell down in the office. How was your day?
My book is on super special offer for less than £4 for a limited time. Thank you to everyone who's already bought a copy. Receiving feedback of how much it has helped people is exactly why I wrote it. #eatingdisorders

I did a presentation today to over 100 nursing students at the University of Leeds, & to receive feedback that it was incredibly inspiring & will influence the students practice for their whole career...it's just 💗🥰 & exactly why I do what I do. #eatingdisorders #mentalhealth
I'm in the April edition of Women's Running magazine for an article about RED-S & eating disorders in sport.
#Eatingdisorders are over 3 times more prevalent in sport than the general population but it's very rarely spoken about. So I'm speaking about it & hope to raise awareness

Huge thankyou to @LittlebexQ for co facilitating the Peer Network space with me today . 😀 #withoutstigma #peersupport #livedexperienceroles @PeerSupportSPFT
Based on my drive to and from work, I think it must be National Cutting People Up Day. Seriously, the amount of times....
Thank you to Ed Sheeran for speaking out about his eating disorder. Hopefully it will help others open up about their struggles.

The singer wants to be candid about the stigma so many men with EDs face. onself.co/CjLfLb6
Two thermal vests, two jumpers, two dressing gowns, hat and scarf... And it's still bloody freezing.
For #InternationalWomensDay my local general hospital was giving out panic alarms as a free gift to all women. I think this totally misses the point. Our gift for being a woman is that we have to protect ourselves for men?!

So much of #EatingDisordersAwarenessWeek focuses on the negatives of what people don't know, lack of services etc. But there are good people out there working in #eatingdisorders & doing their best to help. From nurses to HCAs, dieticians, OTs - thankyou for all you do! #EDAW2023
I wrote a blog post for #EatingDisordersAwarenessWeek
"You don't have to be thin to have an eating disorder"

#EatingDisordersAwarenessWeek Day 4.
EDs in Sport. A topic close to my heart. 13.5% of athletes have an ED. If you include disordered eating, that statistic rises to 45%. More needs to be done to raise awareness & improve education of #eatingdisorders in sport #EDAW2023
