hashtags trending on Twitter today. No matter your political beliefs, fat shaming and fat discrimination is never an option. Weight bullying hurts us all.

Don't trigger someone as a joke.
"I'm proud of who I am
No more monsters, I can breathe again
And you said that I was done
Well, you were wrong and now the best is yet to come
'Cause I can make it on my own, oh
And I don't need you, I found a strength I've never known..."

& know that I'm OK
Everyone's perfect in unusual ways

Not today

Week 2020! 🎉 We encourage everyone to embrace this year’s theme,
#ComeAsYouAre
: Hindsight is 20/20, by reflecting on the positive steps you've taken — including those stemming from setbacks or challenges — toward accepting yourself and others.
Suicide is the most common cause of death among individuals with eating disorders. Always reach out for help or if you think someone is suffering. You deserve to live.
