President Trump claimed to have the backing of the "Portland sheriff" in last night's debate.
The sheriff of the county where Portland is located said he "never supported Donald Trump and will never support him." https://t.co/JhK2RH94jH
I feel like you all should have listened when your Black friends told you the President was a racist. But maybe now that he told white supremacists to ‘standby’ you’ll listen.
@NEDAstaff I 100% support weight stigma awareness week but cannot support NEDA. NEDA, you can’t actually be inclusive if you aren’t willing to listen to the folks who continue to be harmed the most by the ED treatment field.
Health is not determined by size. @ww_us formerly known as Weight Watchers is STILL weight Watchers and still encouraging disorder and disconnection and discontent. #wakeupweightwatchers@BALANCEedtc
Scientists conclude, “…in the long term, dieting to control weight is not only ineffective, it may actually promote weight gain” Field (2003). Relation Between Dieting & Weight Change Among Preadolescents & Adolesc. Pediatrics,112:900 #wakeupweightwatchers@ww_us @BalancedTx
Suggestion that there should ever be a before and after weight change photograph of a child is horrifying. Weight gain during childhood and adolescence is intentional. If it does not happen, there is a medical problem at hand. #wakeupweightwatchers
@ww_us did you know that your new app targets children that are prepubescent and going through puberty where kids between 11 and 14 gain a necessary 30 to 40 pounds and can gain 30 pounds or more in one year?#wakeupweightwatchers
A study on men found that the app MyFitnessPal was a contributing factor for their disordered eating behaviors. Linardon (2019). My fitness pal usage in men: Assoc. with eating disorder symptoms & psychosocial impairment. Eat Behav 33:13.#wakeupweightwatchers@ww_us @BalancedTx
73% of mostly women reported that MyFitnessPal was linked to the development of their eating disorder. Levinson Et al(2017). My Fitness Pal calorie tracker usage in the eating disorders. Eat Behav,27, 14-16. #wakeupweightwatchers@ww_us @BalancedTx
Weight Watchers making a weight loss app for children is so objectively horrifying and wrong on absolutely every level that I haven't known what to say about it except - yeah, makes sense, because WW literally relies on eating disorders for their money
The @KurboHealth app gives kids the option to select ‘Make Parents Happy’ as their main motivation. Promoting the idea that parents happiness/produness is derived from accomplishments around weight is dangerous. #WakeUpWeightWatchers
