We hope you have a restorative weekend ✨

Gentle reminders for this year ❤️

Stereotypes can make it difficult for people to realize they have an eating disorder. Unfortunately, because of things like size, race, and/or background, certain groups of people are less likely to receive diagnosis/treatment for their eating disorder. Help us spread the word!

Today's #selflove reminder. Happy Friday!

For those who observe #Lent, remember not to let #dietculture or weight loss concerns take over. The season doesn't need to include starting a new diet, giving up a food, or trying to make yourself smaller. Take care of yourselves. 💙 #AshWednesday #edawareness #edaweek

"I look at myself in the mirror, and I see a body that has survived so much harm from myself and others. I see a body that houses who I am on the inside, someone I have fought to love and care for deeply." - Read the entire blog: bit.ly/3vjt3VJ

Stereotypes and stigma mean that men are often overlooked and underdiagnosed when it comes to #eatingdisorders. Knowing how #disorderedeating might look different in men can help raise awareness and #endthestigma. #eatingdisordersawarenessweek #mensmentalhealth

The impact of #eatingdisorders on the body go beyond changes to muscle and body fat. #edawareness #NEDAWeek
