Not feeling “sick enough” can keep people stuck for years. Eating disorders have a way of minimizing, comparing and convincing that it’s “not that bad.”

You don’t need a diagnosis.
You don’t need a certain body.
You don’t need to be falling apart. (And if you are falling apart, that’s okay too). You are not too much. You are not too broken. You are not beyond help.

If thoughts about food, your body, or exercise are taking up space in your life, that’s enough. You deserve compassionate, supportive care — exactly as you are and where you are ❤️‍🩹

Recovery isn’t one big, dramatic moment.

It’s the quiet choices.
The meals you eat even when it’s hard.
The thoughts you challenge.
The breath you take instead of acting on an urge.

Step by step. Breath by breath.
That’s how you reclaim your life ❤️‍🩹

What is HEALTH? Health is made up of so much more than the eating disorder and diet culture wants us to believe!

This is our trusty whiteboard — during daily groups at Westwind, we explore recovery-focused therapeutic topics. Clients are invited to chat, brainstorm and journal as a way to reflect and connect ✍️

Health is more than so many things — the way you look being one of them ( ). What we know is that eating disorders do not discriminate and affect people of all body sizes. You cannot tell if someone is struggling or has an eating disorder by looking at them, and people in ALL bodies deserve compassionate and inclusive care options.

A gentle reminder that at Westwind you do not need a medical diagnosis to attend our residential or online programs — we are here to support you. Reach out to our team to see if we might be a good fit for your recovery (link in our bio 🫶)

We want to continue sharing some important conversations from — join Breanna and Lokadia as they chat about why health is more than what you eat 💟 Full conversation can be found on our Westwind YouTube channel (link below in comments!)

Food rules or moral labels like “good” and “bad” can oversimply health. Remembering that eating is influenced by culture, access, well-being and enjoyment can help us recognize that all foods can have a place in a flexible, nourishing diet.

Long term patterns matter most! Healthy eating means you are getting adequate, balanced, varied food and using moderation and flexibility. Weight gain is often a side effect of dieting. Our bodies can’t tell the difference between dieting and famine, so they fight back against restriction. 80-95% of people who diet regain all or most of the weight they lose. Many factors influence your health, food is only one of them!

Weight is often mistaken as a direct measure of health, leading to assumptions that certain bodies are automatically healthy or unhealthy. When in reality, healthy bodies come in all shapes and sizes.

Body weight and BMI alone are unhelpful for measuring health. They do not account for body composition, muscle mass, race, gender, and age. Weight does not indicate that an individual deserves care for an eating disorder. No matter someone’s weight, they deserve to access and receive care.
