Today my book is released! From being an athlete with a dream of running for GB to becoming a revolving door patient. It felt all hope was lost. But I'm now in recovery, an athlete, & running free from anorexia. I hope sharing my story will help others. https://t.co/DjKtCWphwX

What a ridiculous headline. We don't see headlines like "Millions using inhalers for five years or more."
Anti-depressants and many other psychiatric meds can help to save people's lives. Stop shaming them and those that use them.
Weโve heard from some truly incredible humans today, but this lady just blew the ๐ช off. Powerful, humble, emotive ๐ข & perhaps most importantly, happening right now in sport. โTo run faster you need to lose weightโ. ๐คฌ ๐คฆ Pls check out her words, her work, her ๐ @LittlebexQ
Can't wait for the Everything in Sport conference tomorrow! I will be sharing my story of developing an eating disorder as an athlete. Honoured to be a part of this innovative action packed two day conference @everythinginspt
My book is on super special offer for less than ยฃ4 for a limited time. Thank you to everyone who's already bought a copy. Receiving feedback of how much it has helped people is exactly why I wrote it. #eatingdisorders#mentalhealth

And if you have already read my book, I'd be so so grateful if you could leave a review or star rating. It really would mean a lot to me and hopefully help my book to help others โฅ
I did a presentation today to over 100 nursing students at the University of Leeds, & to receive feedback that it was incredibly inspiring & will influence the students practice for their whole career...it's just ๐๐ฅฐ & exactly why I do what I do. #eatingdisorders#mentalhealth
I'm in the April edition of Women's Running magazine for an article about RED-S & eating disorders in sport.
#Eatingdisorders are over 3 times more prevalent in sport than the general population but it's very rarely spoken about. So I'm speaking about it & hope to raise awareness
@HopeVirgo I think it's important to recognise that everyone's recovery is different and everyone will LOOK different in recovery. I find it equally helpful hearing from people managing recovery as those who are "fully recovered" (whatever that incredibly loaded term actually means)
