As someone who has lived experience of an eating disorder and body image concerns, I know firsthand how hard the festive season can be. That’s why I’m excited to join @thebutterflyfoundation for a Summer of Kindness, to help you navigate diet culture, improve body image and remain focused on eating disorder recovery over the Summer months. During my eating disorder recovery, what helped me was learning to stop comparing my body to others. I like to remind myself even if we all ate the same thing and exercised the same way, our bodies would still all be completely different, Be kind to yourself this holiday season and remember, everybody is a summer body. If you need support with an eating disorder or body image concern, please reach out to Butterfly on 1800 ED HOPE for free counselling. Butterfly is also asking for donations this Summer of Kindness to continue their vital work. If you’re in a position to give back, please Pay it Forward by donating to Butterfly.
