It's not all about control! I'm proud to share our position piece challenging common language around eating disorders. Part of @RHEDC_Project. A huge thank you to the team @CatherineTalb@jamesldowns C.Figueras @ClinpsychJess B.McGilley & @ClaireMorganM 👏https://t.co/FiRhrdGPvJ
We are looking research participants aged 16+ who have completed at least one course of therapy for Anorexia and are familiar with externalisation of their eating disorder (a strategy often used by therapists). We hope to learn how this strategy helps & hinders ED recovery.
Great, balanced article by @SEMcBain for the @NewStatesman : ‘What looks like a science question – an investigation into the nature of illness – might ultimately be more about power.’

A recent study found that people with BPD were 13 times more likely to report childhood abuse’... so let’s call ‘BPD’ what it is - a trauma response to repeated adversity / emotionally invalidating environments @guardian https://t.co/F6B7l6EDvT
Sorry if I’m a bit cranky @channel4 but I’ve assessed many young people in recent months, who are being monitored in hospital for refeeding syndrome after restricting to more than 800 calories.
I’m just gonna do a copy and paste jobby of this tweet from April to convey my feelings about @Channel4 televised programming this evening - how to fuck up your relationship with food in 21 days @beatED@DrMichaelMosley
When the UK’s leading Eating Disorder charity needs to extend their support group due to your tone deaf TV programme, you know you’ve fucked up #Horizon@BBCTwo
Tabitha Farrar (aka @Love_Fat_ ) Having a good ol’ fashioned rant I can get behind. ‘Why I'm not impressed with the NHS's latest anti-obesity strategy’. https://t.co/aBW2Rbndcv via @YouTube
Talk about putting a plaster on a bullet wound. You need to educate people, provide resources, opportunities for enjoyable activity, make nutritional food quick and affordable. Not shame people for the convienet and typically cheapest way to feed their children @DHSCgovuk
We’re taking action to help you fight obesity by:
➡️Banning adverts for high fat, salt or sugar products on TV and online before 9pm
➡️Calorie labelling in restaurants, cafes and takeaways
➡️Ending promotion of high fat, sugar or salt products in store and online
This is why 👇
The full article outlines the varied impact on young people’s psychological wellbeing, so why focus your headline on ‘over-eating’? @guardian Young people are also excessively exercising, acutely restricting, self-harming, withdrawing into themselves... https://t.co/8CqbJF8Iru
It’s time to rethink public health campaigns on #obesity.
Be part of the change by writing to the Prime Minister about #PublicHealthNotPublicShaming.

@outdoorperscrip@NHSEngland@beatED @CPriceBeatED Not to my knowledge but I’m happy to be corrected in case I’ve missed something. Due to an absence of evidence in our service we’ve just given advice on a case by case basis depending on latest blood work and other markers of physical risk.
Clear guidance on the advice we give to our service users is urgently needed; we’ve been judging it on a case by case basis with no clear stearance from NHS England. HOWEVER, eating difficulties and the associated risks are individual to each person (1/2) #COVID2019
We want to do everything we can to help keep people safe at this time.
That’s why we, in partnership with @rcpsych, have written to @NHSEngland to demand that people with #eatingdisorders are included on the list of vulnerable people to be shielded from #coronavirus.
@bbctwo#Horizon They should just have someone chilling on a beanbag... ‘KEEP THIS UP SON. 8 hours of solid respiratory function will burn that fish and chips right off.’
@outdoorperscrip@BBCTwo I’d like to say I’ll reserve judgement until I find out whether there’s a more nuanced message, but I’m not holding out much hope. The fact you can identify this is irresponsible and unhelpful is the main thing, switch over and be kind to yourself 💚
