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… https://t.co/IVpTf7WW0g
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.

“It feels empowering to be able to take my years of suffering and pain and use it to try and make this world a safer place for people in larger bodies.” —@theshirarose, eating disorder therapist ❤️#NEDAwareness https://t.co/awNAj3jqOX
“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.’” https://t.co/kZ3f2ejLe2

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
