đź’› Compassionate, Weight-Inclusive Care đź’›

Eating disorders don’t discriminate — they can affect anyone, at any size. Comments or approaches that focus only on weight can increase shame and disordered eating, but care that is weight-inclusive and person-centred makes a real difference.

This Eating Disorders Awareness Week 2026, remember:
- Your weight is not the sole measure of health
- Support should focus on your goals and well-being, not numbers on a scale
- Expanding the variety of foods and listening to your body fosters long-term health
- Everyone deserves care that validates and supports them, not shames them

Weight-Inclusive Care Matters! Comments like “Based on your size, it doesn’t look like you have an eating disorder” or “You need to work on your diet and exercise more” can harm anyone seeking help.

Focusing on weight alone in healthcare can:
- Increase shame and anxiety
- Worsen disordered eating
- Reinforce weight stigma

This Eating Disorders Awareness Week 2026, let’s remember: health isn’t determined by body size or shape. Everyone deserves compassionate, weight-inclusive care that focuses on well-being, not numbers on a scale.

🏡 Interrupting Unsafe Conversations at Home 🏡

For Eating Disorders Awareness Week 2026, remember: how we talk about food and bodies at home shapes how kids feel about themselves.

If you hear comments policing what or how much a child eats, try redirecting the conversation toward trust, enjoyment, and variety — not dieting or guilt.

Key tips:
- Trust your child: let them decide how much to eat from what’s offered
- Enjoy meals together and make mealtime positive
- Encourage variety: trying new foods is a skill that develops over time
- Avoid using food as a reward or punishment — all foods can fit
- Keep diet culture out: be mindful of language about bodies, weight, and food

🏫 Interrupting Unsafe Conversations at School 🏫

During Eating Disorders Awareness Week 2026, let’s remember: health and well-being aren’t determined by body size or shape.

If you hear comments about students’ bodies, food, or weight, try redirecting the conversation toward support, respect, and overall well-being.

Key tips:
- Use positive, body-respecting language — avoid commenting on body size or weight
- Promote a holistic view of health: mental, emotional, cultural, spiritual, social, and physical
- Prevent and address body-based bullying immediately
- Encourage respect and inclusion for all students

đź’Ş Interrupting Unsafe Conversations in Sports & Fitness đź’Ş

Eating Disorders Awareness Week 2026 reminds us that health and performance aren’t about body size or appearance.

If you hear comments policing someone’s body, food, or movement, try redirecting the conversation to skills, strength, and overall well-being — not dieting.

Key tips:
- Focus on skills and technique, not body shape
- Encourage joyful movement and fun in activity
- Normalize body diversity in athletes of all sizes
- Empower athletes and clients to set boundaries and advocate for themselves
