"The myth that eating disorders can be seen or measured is a dangerous, stigma inducing and potentially fatal story that needs to stop being told" #NEDAweek .https://t.co/RWavOeu9AT

[MaineEDPS @MaineEDPS]

It's Eating Disorders Awareness Week. Did you know that you can't tell if someone has an eating disorder by looking at them? Eating Disorders come in all shapes and sizes. One of the fastest growing groups of sufferers are those with anorexia who are NOT underweight.

.@Jeremy_Hunt What is the point in opening new eating disorder units when many existing ones appear unable to effectively help patients? #HelpFaithHeal @NHSEngland @DailyMirror @guardian @sloumarsh @DailyMailUK @HuffPostUK @harpersbazaarus @SkyNews @BBCNews @thetimes

[MaineEDPS @MaineEDPS]

We need more options in Maine! We need them to use up-to-date, evidence-based practices to include inclusion of family members or other carer supports... no matter what the age of the patient! https://t.co/Dl2MHmdwUf

.@Jeremy_Hunt Inpatient units are failing patients! Very often treatment documented in paperwork is not in fact provided. #HelpFaithHeal, an eating disorder patient has had NO FOOD or treatment for 4 years!!! @CPrice2184 https://t.co/o9VMTJ7oF2

Thank you @sloumarsh & @guardian for highlighting eating disorders which have the highest mortality rate of all mental illnesses and the lack of #evidencebased #eatingdisorder #treatment in the UK. @Jeremy_Hunt @NHSEngland are you listening? #HelpFaithHeal

@sunnysideuprd @WeightWatchers Or those that don't appear deathly thin and go undiagnosed because of our fatphobic diet culture? @oprah @weightwatchers #WakeUpWeightWatchers

I wish someone had told me as a teen I was worthy and lovable no matter what my size was and that I didn't need to lose weight to feel those things. Maybe I wouldn't have struggled so long with an eating disorder. @WeightWatchers @Oprah @djkhaled #WakeUpWeightWatchers

Get. Woke. @WeightWatchers @Oprah girls 13-17 don’t need diets they need empowerment. #WakeUpWeightWatchers

The link between dieting & #eatingdisorders is clear and we are concerned about the new @WeightWatchers promotion for teens. Our voices are being heard. They have reached out to us. Stay tuned for updates. #WakeUpWeightWatchers

A great facility would step into the light and turn things around. This would be the best cover story of success ever No? Keep doing the same & getting the same bad results? @Jeremy_Hunt @NHSEngland @CareQualityComm @BCC @TEWV @guardian @lucianaberger @normanlamb #helpfaithheal

Our face, our expressions, our eyes... they tell a story that can't be told by a headless/faceless body shots. This is more than just fitness selfies, this is what our kids are bombarded with and taking part in, the headless/faceless body shot. https://t.co/xkqS2dkpxd
