Body neutrality can be a gentle, sustainable approach in eating disorder recovery. It focuses on what your body does, meeting its needs without judgment, and reducing appearance-based self-worth.

Practicing body neutrality can help lower body checking, reduce shame, and create space to focus on nourishment, rest, and mental health. Steps include using neutral language about your body, unfollowing certain social media accounts, and focusing on values or experiences.

You do not have to "love" your body to take care of it.🤍

Sleep and rest are essential in eating disorder recovery. They support physical healing, emotional balance, and coping with urges. 🤍

Gentle rest — including breaks, pacing yourself, and letting go of perfection — is part of recovery.

Eating disorders don’t have one look, and many signs aren’t always about food. They can show up in many ways. 💙

Some signs may include increased anxiety, depression, skipping meals, withdrawing from social situations, frequent body checking, perfectionism, and many others. Other signs can be more subtle.

Recovery from an eating disorder, just like life, can have its ups and downs. It is not linear, and progress does not happen in a straight line every day.

Signs you may be feeling stuck include frustration, emotional fatigue, old coping urges resurfacing, pulling away from treatment, or skipping support check-ins. Noticing these signs is awareness, and awareness creates the opportunity to respond with care.

There is no single path to recovery. And choosing the right treatment matters. 💙

We are proud to collaborate with the REDC Consortium on a new guide to help individuals, loved ones, and providers navigate today’s evolving treatment landscape.

The REDC Guidebook for Choosing Eating Disorder Treatment in the Age of Hybrid Care offers clarity on what responsible, evidence based care should include and how to know if a program is the right fit.

Eating disorders are complex, brain-based illnesses with serious — and often invisible — medical consequences. Medical instability isn’t determined by appearance, and someone who looks “fine” can still be at risk. 🤍

We’re honored to partner with to raise awareness about the medical complications of these illnesses. Early intervention and proper medical care matter.

If you or someone you love is struggling, please reach out for support.

Being physically sick, whether a cold, the flu, or a virus, can feel especially overwhelming when you are in eating disorder recovery.

Remember that having a harder time while sick does not mean recovery is 'failing.' Illness can place extra stress on your body and nervous system, and it is okay to ask for extra support.

Recovery oftentimes looks like simply getting through the day. You do not have to navigate this alone. 💙

💙 March 5 is Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) Awareness Day. We’re honored to partner with to create space for greater understanding, reduce stigma, and uplift those with lived experience.

DID is linked to chronic, inescapable trauma and abuse during early childhood. It develops as a brilliant and protective coping mechanism — and it is overrepresented among individuals living with eating disorders. Today, we are holding space for compassion, understanding, and healing.
