Food is not something we should feel worried or fearful about. Thinking about what to eat shouldn’t consume your thoughts. The simple act of eating shouldn’t cause guilt or shame.
.
Be careful who you’re taking nutrition-related advice from; if the program or “lifestyle” they’re selling you causes you’re relationship with food feel complicated or chaotic, you’d be better off, instead, working to make peace with food.

#InternationalWomensDay2023

I went on to say to the nurse:
“Numbers can be triggering for me, and anyone with a history of disordered eating or poor body image. And when weight is recorded it gets mentioned in the appointment and it’s printed out on the after visit summary, along with BMI. If the doctor tells me she needs to know my exact weight for todays Pap smear tho, then I’ll get weighed.”
Nurse: “Your blood pressure’s is higher than normal.”
Me: 😑🙄😒
.
The truth is: after working for 6+ years to improve my relationship with food & body image, I’m actually at a place where knowing my exact weight isn’t triggering (most days). I *choose* not be weighed during medical exams because I want providers to becoming used to hearing their patients decline being weighed.
.
Actually, that’s not the complete truth. What I actually want is for health care providers to simply asks few more questions: “Would you like to be weighed in your visit today or would you prefer not to be?”
.
We literally get screened for so many things:
• Do you feel safe at home?
Domestic violence ✅
• Do you feel sad or hopeless?
Depression ✅
• Do you think about hurting yourself?
Self-harm ✅ Suicide ✅
• Have you felt sick in the past 2 weeks?
COVID ✅
• Are you having normal/regular bowel movements?
Colon cancer ✅
• Do you feel unsteady?
Fall risk ✅
• Do you smoke or use tobacco?
Lung cancer ✅ Mouth cancer ✅
• How many alcoholic beverages do you consume a week?
Liver sorosis ✅
• Do you use illegal drugs or prescription medication for nonmedical reasons?
Addiction ✅
• What was the date of your last period?
Pregnancy ✅ Hormonal imbalances ✅
• Do you have unprotected sex?
STD’s ✅
.
Would it be that hard to ask just 2 additional questions:
1) How’s your relationship with food? and 2) How do you feel about your body? in order to screen for eating disorders and body dysmorphic disorder?
.
Seeing as #EatingDisorders are the SECOND highest cause of death of *all* mental health conditions in the entire #DSM5 - second only to opioid addiction.
.
Why aren’t we doing this?
