Jagmeet has been seen wearing expensive Rolex watches, coming out of BMW’s, Mercedes & Maserati’s, carrying Versace bags & now a pic of him flying in a business class/first class Air Canada Pod. When you hear him talking down about wealthy CEO’s, he is a fraud. He lives just like one & loves it.

If you're a fitness professional, please network with eating disorder professionals. You are working with clients who are deserving of holistic support. You deserve support in doing your work. We need you. And you need us. (8/9)

Learning to sit with negative thoughts is an important step in #mentalillness #recovery. Take the time to acknowledge the thoughts and trial sitting with them... 5mins... 10mins eventually you will feel able to sit with them untill they pass. #freedom #hope

“I was a great mom, in spite of my bipolar, or maybe because of it. I couldn’t have had more beautiful children who totally understood. Forgiveness and understanding sheds light where light needs to be, and it takes away the judgement.” - Margaret Trudeau #BellLetsTalk

Today is #OrangeShirtDay, a day where we recognize the survivors of residential schools, and invite communities to join together in the spirit of #reconciliation and hope. #EveryChildMatters #IndigenousRights
For the majority of my recovery from #anorexia, I was at a “healthy weight”, but that didn’t mean any of my thought were healthier then when I looked ill. Being a healthy weight doesn’t mean someone doesn’t have an #eatingdisorder. Please don’t discriminate on size.

Some #EatingDisorder professionals it appears treat over 18's differently. All professionals need to understand that if there is good family support 18 is just a number, DO NOT change treatment that is working because our kid has turned 18, work with us to achieve full recovery

Too many parents are upset that #EatingDisorder professionals are saying their kids r recovered & not listening to them when they say their kids r still vulnerable, using behaviors & need to be a higher weight. This is the power of parent groups. We know this needs to be change
