Just a reminder that no matter what day it is you deserve to eat.

Our bodies need nourishment all day every day. No need to skip meals and snacks to prepare for the feast. Listen to you body’s needs.

is once a year, yes but remember you can go back for seconds, you can have leftovers, hell you can even prepare a thanksgiving feast in the middle of July. Stay present and enjoy making memories ❤️

You do you, you got this!

Tomorrow is Halloween and I say we all ghost diet culture once and for all! 👻

Why is diet culture so harmful?

Diet culture makes us feel guilt/shame for:
1️⃣ Eating certain foods
2️⃣ Not exercising “enough”
3️⃣ Not having the “ideal” body type

So this Halloween I want to remind you to:
🎃 Wear the costume you like, not the one that’s the “most flattering”
🎃 Eat the candy that sounds yummy, not the one that’s “guilt free”
🎃 Be present and enjoy the holiday with your loved ones
🎃 Remember that pictures are meant to capture the moment, not be used for comparison/body checking

Today is so let’s take this time to reflect on what diet culture has taken away from us and work towards abolishing this $72 billion dollar industry! All bodies are good bodies and your size/shape does not determine your worth or your health.

ARFID (Avoidant or Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) has been around for a hot minute, but it was officially recognized as a formal diagnosis in 2013. ARFID is not just “picky eating,” there are so many other factors that play a role in the development of this eating disorder. To learn more about ARFID check out !

I’ve seen a lot of post this week pointing out all the bias that come up in eating disorder treatment. We are working towards demolishing weight stigma, but we still have A LOT of work to do and it’s been a long process. Fatphobia is still very present in ED treatment, from DSM-5 criteria for diagnosis to insurance coverage being denied due to “not meeting weight criteria” and everywhere in between.

Today, tomorrow, everyday - F*CK DIET CULTURE! 🙅🏻‍♀️

Marginalized groups are underrepresented in the eating disorder world. Marginalized groups often don’t receive the treatment they need and deserve because their eating disorders go undiagnosed. We need to work together to break the stigma that only white cis-gendered females suffer from eating disorders.

Growing up living with my Asian grandparents mental health was never something that was talked about or understood. Now that I’ve been working in the field I’ve had the opportunity to educated my family members about what I do and the importance of prioritizing mental health.
