Topic Tuesday // Body Image and Eating Disorders // Tues 28th September, 7:00-8:30PM AEST

Hey SANE community!

This fortnight we will be welcoming one of SANE's Peer Ambassadors talking about their experiences with eating disorders and body image, leading on from Body Image and Eating Disorders Awareness Week (BIEDAW) earlier this month.

Body Image and Eating Disorders Awareness Week (BIEDAW)

BIEDAW is a national week to raise awareness of body image concerns and eating disorders, celebrated annually from the 6-12th of September. It calls upon the community to acknowledge that all bodies are important, and all bodies deserve politeness, honour and care from ourselves and from others; particularly in spaces where people are affected by eating disorders.

For this Topic Tuesday, we are making space for those of us who have struggled with body image and eating disorders, and to share experiences, resources and stories.

This discussion might help to enhance our understanding of this year’s theme “Respecting All Bodies” and and support you to have conversations around body image and eating disorders with those in your lives and find an ally. 

 

Please join us here on Tuesday the 28th of September 2021 from 7:00pm-8:30pm AEST to follow this conversation.

We might get started with our first question for tonight 🙂

Question 1 for both @SarahBee and the forums community:
What has been your journey with eating disorders and seeking help?

My journey has been thst I'm just recently told myy the psych she is aware of my bingeing. I feel too ashamed and embarrassed to let others know. Doing this really makes me hate myself snd my body.
