This World Health Day, we’re reminding everyone that weight is not an indicator of health – despite what diet culture tries to tell us. 🤔
Health is complex and influenced by many different factors, and health can exist on a spectrum of body sizes, which will vary with time and circumstance for every individual. 💭
There’s also no single measure of health – what matters most is the bigger picture. Are we getting enough sleep? Engaging in movement that brings joy? And how is our mental health going? 🗣️
Remember, our bodies are meant to be unique. Even if we all ate and exercised the same, we’d still look completely different. 💙
If you’re struggling with an eating disorder or body image concern, please know that Butterfly is here to help. You can contact the Butterfly National Helpline for confidential and free support, by calling 1800 ED HOPE (1800 33 4673) or visiting www.butterfly.org.au to chat online or email, 7 days a week, 8am - midnight AEST. 🦋
