We're thrilled to announce VICTORY on our 2-yr #SurgeryIsNotAGame campaign re: regulation of cosmetic surgery apps for kids! Although @Apple's policy is not public, we are confident such "games" will no longer reappear in their store. THANKS to all of you! https://t.co/TloNUeTm4k

Plus size clothing options have taken a huge nose dive. And people who are sizes 26+ barely have any options at all.

It shouldn’t be this hard to make more inclusive size ranges.

Today marks the fourth day of Eating Disorder Awareness Week. Following the National theme "Everyone has a role to play" today we are focusing on Mental Health Providers.

Simple and powerful intervention from @MoreLoveOrg' Asking not to be weighed may do more than help you avoid a triggering moment—it can also help you shift the focus of your appointment away from weight' https://t.co/VVnHlQjC2a

Great tips from our UK chapter @AnyBodyOrg - we especially like #6 - "Arm yourself with science!" #riotsnotdiets

Christmas is not always the most wonderful time of the year for everybody. It can be filled with triggers, stress and anxiety, especially around food. One of our wonderful members wrote this piece to help people navigate diet talk over the holidays

Noom says it's not a diet, but you didn't really fall for that, did you? Don't "forget that we’re paying someone to tell us we’re not good enough in the body we have now," writes Virginia Sole-Smith in this smart critical analysis. @v_solesmith https://t.co/O76qmR0Ev0

When I give talks on eating disorders, people often say that the behaviors I discussed are necessary for maintaining a "healthy" weight.

If that weight can only be maintained by engaging in pathological eating behaviors, I encourage you to reflect on your definition of healthy.

Love the powerful body image and mental health stories shared on Like Bodies, Like Minds, a project founded by @AngelaMBarnett from @EBNewZealand https://t.co/zCwfmgw5aV

Health at Every Size is not a fad. It’s lifesaving!

Fat people deserve medical equipment that fits. Fat people deserve access to affirming healthcare.

Fat bodies are not a problem to be solved or fixed. They are not a shell for thinner bodies waiting to break free. Body diversity has always existed and always will.  Imagine what could happen if we worked on ensuring the world was a safer place for people in larger bodies inste

The only reason we fear self-soothing with food is because of diet culture and fatphobia.

A women’s handball team is boycotting mandated bikini bottoms for being sexist & inhibiting while the men’s teams are fully clothed. This type of uniform double standard is everywhere. It reflects & reinforces a view of women’s bodies as ornamental while men’s are instrumental.

#AngelaHinz presents on a content analysis of female yoga images. They found that 72% of images were females in their 20's, 70% were white, and 79% were thin and athletic. Yoga is not currently being represented as inclusive or adaptive in the media available online!
