Eating Disorder Awareness Week starts February 1st.  This year’s theme, “What happened while we waited” is built off of 2020’s theme which was “Eating Disorders can’t afford to wait”. The hope is to highlight the positives and negatives last year has brought to us all.

Eating disorders are not a choice. They are serious mental health illnesses. There are many resources to help you to learn more. Check out @theNEDIC and @niedcanada . Awareness leads to learning, which learns to support, which leads to recovery. #EDAW2020

"I'm concerned how taking time off for appointments might affect my school or work."

Making the time to treat your eating disorder appropriately takes a lot of strength. By taking time off to attend to your health, you can perform better in school and work.

B(ear)rier: #Stigma and #shame
"I'm embarrassed to admit I have an #eatingdisorder."
Similar to other medical and #mentalillness, EDs are not personal choices. They are complex illnesses that arise from a combination of biological, psychological, social, and cultural factors.

Un obstacle à l’accès aux soins pour les troubles de l’alimentation est la pensée qu’on ne «ressemble pas» à souffrir un trouble alimentaire. Cela peut laisser ceux qui souffrent plus longtemps sans soutien.#EDAW2020 #eatingdisorderscantwait

[Dina Skaff, RD @DinaSkaffRD]

A barrier to accessing care for eating disorders is the thought ”I don’t look like I have an eating disorder”. It leaves those suffering for longer without support. No matter how one looks the struggle with food, weight and body image is real. #EDAW2020 #eatingdisorderscantwait

[National Eating Disorder Information Centre @theNEDIC]

"People won't take me seriously because I don't look like I have an eating disorder"

The belief that only certain people are affected by eating disorders is a widespread misconception. Eating disorders do not discriminate. No matter how you look, your struggle is valid.
