Some warning signs of #eatingdisorders in teens include, but are not limited to:
⚠️ Disappearing after meals.
⚠️ Skipping meals, drastic reduction in food intake.
⚠️ Commenting about feeling "fat" or expressing guilt after eating.
⚠️ Avoidance of social events involving food.
Eating disorders affect not only the individual who is struggling, but also those around them. Here are four important considerations to remember while assisting your loved one in #edrecovery đź’ś
Research has found that 75% of people with eating disorders don't seek professional help. Early intervention is crucial, but many still suffer in silence. Seeking help is difficult, yet necessary for healing and recovery.

Today we’re so excited to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of our Executive Director Christie Dondero Bettwy! 🎉
It's hard to imagine what Rock would look like without her commitment to helping our clients find freedom from disordered eating.
Join us in celebrating her! đź’ś
It's normal to dread grocery shopping, even though it's something you know you *need* to do. That's why we asked our Nutrition Manager, Adee Levinstein, to share some tips on how to navigate grocery shopping while in recovery (and on a budget!).
To the teen struggling with an eating disorder, we see you and want you to know that you’re not alone. We know that recovery can seem like a never-ending battle, but we believe freedom from your eating disorder is possible and we believe in YOU! #edrecovery

We asked our amazing clients, team and community of mentors and alumni why they believe freedom from eating disorders is possible and think #ItsTimeForChange. Here’s what they said this #EatingDisordersAwarenessWeek
It's #EatingDisorderAwarenessWeek, and we've partnered with our friends, @beatED to raise awareness about eating disorders in men and to tackle harmful gender stereotypes. This year, let's #HelpMenGetHelp
Say it with us:
YES, MEN GET EATING DISORDERS.
YES, MEN GET EATING DISORDERS.
YES, MEN GET EATING DISORDERS.
YES, MEN GET EATING DISORDERS.
YES, MEN GET EATING DISORDERS.
That’s it. That’s the post.

My team didn't know how to treat me and asked if I had 'male or female anorexia'. They tried to work out if I wanted to by thin or muscular. It invalidated my identity."]

The men I knew who'd dealt with eating disorders- Elton John, John Precott, Freddie Flintoff- all had bullimia. Anorexia is seen as a white, middle class, female thing- so it wsa completely alien to me and my GP."]
