Right now, at least 1.25 million people in the UK are living with an eating disorder. That’s more than 1 in 50 people.
It’s important to remember that eating disorders are not all about food itself, but about feelings. The way the person interacts with food may make them feel more able to cope or may make them feel in control.
It can be very difficult to identify that a loved one or friend has an eating disorder.
Together, we can help raise awareness, reduce stigma, and support those in need of help. It’s okay to ask for help.
