I discuss the fact that as people and as those who suffer and are in recovery, we may be vulnerable to the persistent messages put out there by a number of sources.
Many Eating Disorder sufferers also struggle with elements of Body Dysmorphic Disorder and this can make us even more susceptible to ideas/protects/views that we need *something* to feel better, be better, look better, be more than we are, more acceptable etc
We take in this fake promise that everything will be magically better if we do X, Y or Z.

Often we can think we are recovering, or healthy or even recovered, because we *eat* and we eat *healthily*
But that isn't always the case.
I talk about how to recognise and identify and how to watch out for such instances.

  • The protest was organised via Body Gossip. Keep being YOU and knowing that is good enough <3

  • It is very frustrating to be endlessly surrounded by all of this and it is great you would like to be involved :)

  • I am sure you are a wonderful friends to those in recovery and it is incredibly touching that you are trying to learn more :) Take care of YOU :)

  • I mean could they put it any worse? Even my friends in work check calories on things and I'm always saying "it's just food, its not numbers" Anyway, you put things across so well, its really insightful for me. I always think of you as a wise owl!! -and a kind and caring one too. Keep up your great work! Oh if there are any more protests in London do let me know as I'd definitely go along. Jo

  • thank you for all your videos. I have a couple friend who have and are in recovery from eating disorders and came across this channel. I totally agree with your views on the diet/beauty industry. Even as someone who has not had any major body image/eating disorder issues it makes me angry and I find it really worrying. I often get a latte in Costa on my way to work because I like that drink (and it wakes me up!!) and suddenly there's massive ads in there promoting "guilt free coffee" tbc
