A thought provoking presentation @GeorgieBuckley_ on body image for women and girls in sport. ‘Everybody has their own body image’ there is a need to promote positive body image in the sporting environment #WISC22 @WISCongress

[Women In Sport Congress 2025 @WISCongress]

WISC22: "For sport to become a place that is safe, it is the responsibility of everyone!"

3 in 5 current or former athletes have disordered eating or body image concerns. Well done @GeorgieBuckley_ for highlighting this topic and sharing valuable resources (see slide) #WISC22 @WISCongress

Natural diversity is in every aspect of the human body – noses, ears, hands, eyes, height, hair color, etc. But for weight we’re told anything outside of a narrow height/weight ratio is wrong and bad and should be eradicated with a global war. That's weight stigma talking.

Could people please stop peddling "calories in/calories out" diets for weight loss as if we haven't known for decades they don't work - unless, of course, you're hoping for short-term weight loss followed by weight regain and harm from weight cycling? Thanks.

If you’re recovering from an eating disorder and your parents are entrenched in diet culture, making comments that reinforce your ED, I see you and I’m sending so much love your way.

I’m so proud of you for fighting in spite of it all. 💗

[Alexis Conason @theantidietplan]

You can’t be a body positive “obes*ty specialist.”

You either believe that fat people have a right to exist with respect and dignity or you are pathologizing fat bodies.

I’m all for nuance but this is a complete oxymoron.

[Rhea Werner @rhea_wernerr]

Amazing experience to have been selected to present & advocate about gendered issues - such as eating disorders and the gender pay gap - at the EDVOS Leaders for Change Program, in collaboration with @Boroondara Youth @ManninghamCC and @cityofmonash.

[ANZAED @ANZAED1]

Not to mention informed by our incredibly talented Youth Advisory Council, headed up by @rhea_wernerr

[Rhea Werner @rhea_wernerr]

So excited to celebrate the launch of the Body Confident Sport Guidelines - advised by youth, these guidelines (based on the PhD research of @GeorgieBuckley_ ) are long overdue, and will serve to support and encourage youth to pursue sport whilst creating positive body image.
