Many of you told us in our social media survey that you find certain accounts masquerading as 'pro-recovery' accounts on Instagram and TikTok to in fact be triggering and harmful. What helps you decide if an ED recovery is helpful or harmful? ⬇️Let us know in the comments⬇️

Thank you Wera Hobhouse for speaking up about the dangers that the rapid roll-out of weight loss jabs poses to individuals with eating disorders. It is possible to design public health policies which don't demonise larger bodies or harm people with EDs.
