The term "picky eater" is usually lumped with children, but adults can also be put into this category. However, when should adults who are considered to be picky with food start to think it's more than that? Learn about ARFID, an eating disorder that isn't just about the kids anymore, as adults can develop it, too. https://bddy.me/3nnuk7x CENTERFORDISCOVERY.COM ARFID in Adults: Not Just a Disorder of Childhood - Center For Discovery
<3 these ladies! #EatingDisordersAreASocialJusticeIssue #BEDAForever #EndWeightHate #WSAW2020 Athena By Allie September 28 at 1:54 PM · M y V a l u e I s N o t M e a s u r e d B y M y W e i g h t It’s Weight Stigma Awareness Week (#WSAW2020)! Athena is collaborating with National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) to #EndWeightHate by eliminating stigma and discrimination based on body size. This can be seen in: - Stadium or theater seating that doesn’t fit everyone - Airplane seats - Telling a thin person to “eat a cheeseburger” - Filming a stranger to make fun of their size - Hiring a person of “normal” body size over someone of heavier weight with the idea that the latter is “lazy” - Body-focused comments from family members - Holding a t-shirt giveaway with only a select few sizes - So much more! Weight stigma is everywhere and is seriously overlooked. Being judged based on body weight has been shown to exacerbate depression, low self esteem, and body dissatisfaction. This is not only a SOCIAL JUSTICE issue but a PUBLIC HEALTH issue as well. #DidYouKnow weight stigma impacts everyone, not only those in higher weight bodies? 🗣🗣Go to https://p2a.co/k2nsxtg to learn what you can do to eliminate weight stigma and discrimination and make your voice heard! Shout out to all of these beautiful women who helped me execute this project!

Dear Community, We were thrilled when Chevese and the organization she founded—Binge Eating Disorder Association—joined forces with National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) in 2018 to increase inclusivity in the eating disorder field. We have been so thankful to watch NEDA begin to center marginalized eating disorder populations by amplifying the voices of fat, black, brown, trans, queer and disabled people. Center for Discovery has been a proud supporter of NEDA as they evolved their mission to be more inclusive and diverse. With the news of Chevese Turner’s and Joslyn Smith’s separation from NEDA, we will be opening a conversation with NEDA to ask some hard questions that we are simultaneously asking ourselves. As a treatment center, we are at the beginning of this work, and as a sponsor we want to ensure our missions are in alignment: How will NEDA champion diversity, equity, and inclusivity? How will decisions be made that center the most marginalized among us, so that eating disorder treatment can be safe for all bodies? How will NEDA ensure their values align with recent calls for change, and that the organization will meaningfully commit to continued growth, accountability, and structural evolution? We know that valuing inclusion does not exclude those who are normally centered within the eating disorder community (i.e., people who are thin, white, cisgender, feminine, able-bodied) but instead makes treatment more accessible—and safer—for all. How will NEDA reflect this truth? How will NEDA join us in our push or to be better? While we await a dialogue with NEDA, we are committing to the following steps to ensure our mission remains at the forefront of our existing collaborations with them: 1. To honor BEDA’s mission of Weight Stigma Awareness Week, we will add the hashtags #EatingDisordersAreASocialJusticeIssue, #BEDAForever, and #EndWeightHate to our WSAW posts. 2. For all the virtual NEDA walks that Center for Discovery has already sponsored, we request that NEDA include speakers with identities that are normally marginalized within the eating disorder community. 3. We will postpone renewing our 2021 NEDA sponsorships until we are certain that their values align with Center for Discovery’s values of diversity, equity, inclusion, and advocacy. We want to acknowledge our own journey as a treatment center and the ways we have, historically and to-this-day, harmed clients in marginalized bodies. We cannot call in NEDA without calling ourselves in as well. There is much work to be done, and with Chevese and countless other activists in mind, we are committing to being transparent about our own process to answer the questions we outlined above. On behalf of the whole Center for Discovery team, Aaron Flores, RD (he/him) Senior Coordinator of Weight Inclusive Care Vaughn Darst, MS RD (he/him) Senior Coordinator of Gender Affirmative Care Deandra Christianson, MA, LCPC, CCMHC, CDWF (she/her) President, Eating Disorder Division
