#SelfCare tip: forest bathing. A 2010 study published in Environmental Health and Preventive Medicine found that participants who walked in a forest had lower blood pressure and levels of cortisol afterwards than those who strolled through a city environment.

Hey friends struggling with eating disorders and disordered eating,
Highly highly recommend you do NOT watch Unwell on Netflix. Protect yourself. 💗

You can't tell anything about someone by looking at their size. You can learn a lot about yourself tho.

[Anna Sweeney MS, RD, LDN, CEDS-S @DietitianAnna]

If eating an appropriate amount of food results in weight gain, you needed to gain weight.

[Anna Sweeney MS, RD, LDN, CEDS-S @DietitianAnna]

If you finish eating a meal or a snack and you are still hungry, I humbly suggest that you are not finished eating.

[Shira Rose @theshirarose]

If you have to monitor every bite you eat, exercise obsessively, or suppress your hunger to maintain your current weight....

Maybe your body just isn’t meant to be at that weight?

#COVID19 #pandemic has led to increased violence at home. #SignalForHelp is a one-handed sign a person can use on a video call to silently show they need help and want someone to check in with them in a safe way. Share and learn more: https://t.co/3J7L5MrdW7 #coronavirus #endgbv

We know people are stressed, they’re worried, and they’ve had a great disruption to their daily lives. We’re expanding online and virtual mental health supports to support those finding the COVID-19 crisis challenging.
