I am completely speechless at the number of people who are getting behind this campaign. When I launched it I was terrified no one would support it but you have all been brilliant! We launched exactly one week ago now and are already on 40,000 signatures - nearly half way to 100,000 (that's as far as my maths skills go!) I also want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has been in touch with stories about their experiences of this. Although, scarily it also means that this problem is ever growing, that people with eating disorders are constantly being turned away from support and this needs to change before it is too late! But despite that, and however "bad" your stories are it is important we share them so that we can make an even bigger case that whilst the clinical guidelines do state that diagnosis should not only be about weight, unfortunately this is still too often the case! Thank you for being part of something so exciting and so important to me and just think if we each get one more person to sign this we will be so so close to hitting that 100,000!!! How amazing would that be!?
