💛 R U OK? Day 💛
Today is a gentle reminder to check in—not just with words, but with care and curiosity. While “R U OK?” is often asked in relation to mental health, it’s also an important question to ask those who may be struggling with food, body image, or eating behaviours.
These challenges often go unseen. But they’re real. And they matter.
Here are a few signs someone might be struggling:
🍽️ Avoiding meals or rigid food rules
🥗 Sudden changes in eating habits or adopting restrictive diets
🧠 Preoccupation with weight, food, calories, or exercise
👤 Withdrawing from social events involving food
🙍♀️ Expressing guilt after eating or dissatisfaction with body image
You don’t have to be an expert to ask, “Are you OK?”
You just have to be human.
Eating disorders and body image concerns can feel isolating. Your support could be the first step in someone feeling less alone.
Let’s hold space. Let’s be present. Let’s listen without trying to fix. 💛
🫂 If you or someone you know is struggling, professional help is available—and you’re never alone.
