Friday Reminder: Weight gain is not a bad thing. It's normal, and it's okay.

There are so many reasons our bodies can gain weight. Medication, stress, and age are just a few of the reasons our bodies shift throughout our lifetime. Whatever the cause, your weight NEVER defines your worth, and you have every reason to love your body at every stage, at any weight.

Take this reminder into your long weekend, and enjoy yourself! You have earned it! 💚

This past weekend, the Rock Recovery crew (minus a few!) enjoyed a beautiful day out in Virginia as we shared some treats, reflected on all of the incredible victories this year has brought us so far, and vision planned for all that's in store for the rest of the year and beyond.

From our team to you, we are so grateful for the continued support of our community. YOU are such a huge part of why our work is possible, and together, we will continue our work to make eating disorder treatment affordable and accessible to all. 💚

Fun fact Friday! Did you know that August is National Sandwich Month?!

Recovery is a lot like a sandwich - you build it layer by layer. 🥪 Support, community, courage, and compassion all come together to make it whole.

This month and every month, we hope you know that you don’t ever have to build your sandwich alone. 💚

Executive Director Christie Dondero Bettwy is here to say a massive thank you to the Community Foundation for Northern Virginia for selecting Rock Recovery as a 2025 Community Investment Fund grant recipient!

This summer, Rock Recovery was awarded $25,000 from the Foundation in support of our life-saving eating disorder therapy services. This funding will be critical in helping our organization meet the growing need for mental health support in our region.

We are so grateful to the Foundation for this incredible award, and we can't wait to showcase the impact this funding will have on our community!

Meet Shandree, Rock Recovery's new Administrative and Outreach Manager! 🎉

Shandree joined the Rock Recovery team this summer after being initially attracted to the organization because of her own personal struggles with disordered eating and body image issues. Rock Recovery’s mission to provide recovery for all, regardless of financial circumstances, really resonated with Shandree due to her own experience growing up in a food and healthcare desert. Shandree holds a Bachelor’s degree in Health Sciences with Minors in Psychology and Human Services, as well as a Master’s degree in Healthcare Administration.

Shandree has already made her mark connecting with community members and helping Rock Recovery provide affordable, accessible eating disorder care to all in need, and we feel SO lucky to have her on the team! Join us in giving Shandree a warm welcome in the comments below! 💚

Jenna grew up thinking that people who existed in bigger bodies were "required" to hate them, and began dieting at a young age. After years of struggling with restriction and binging, she found Rock Recovery, and joined Rock's Bridge to Life body image therapy group with the help of sliding scale financial assistance. In this group, Jenna gained the community and empowerment she needed to heal.

That "I get it" moment beside your peers can be transformative, and a crucial reminder that you never have to fight battles alone. Sometimes, community support is that missing puzzle piece needed to find freedom from an eating disorder.

August is Fat Liberation Month, an annual celebration dedicated to promoting fat positivity and challenging fatphobia.

One way Rock Recovery works to challenge fatphobia, this month and every month, is providing therapy through a Health At Every Size® lens - what does this mean exactly?

💚 We respect the inherent diversity of all body shapes and sizes.
💚 We take a non-diet approach to treatment, and instead, focus on promoting healthy behaviors to clients, such as intuitive eating.
💚 We support movement that brings true joy and wellness to one's lifestyle, instead of focusing on movement for things such as weight loss.

This month is all about the freedom to be yourself, and the belief that ALL bodies are good bodies. How are you going to celebrate this Fat Liberation Month? Let us know in the comments below!

P.S. - If you are looking for support on your own journey to liberation, we'd be honored to help. Check out our eating disorder therapy services at the link below!
