So whatever your opinions are of the New Prime Minister, the fact still remains that we need to make sure he takes eating disorders seriously! Just this week I have heard even more stories of people being turned away because of their BMI. And this is just NOT right.

Following some recent communications with Jackie Doyle-Price, the Minister for Mental Health, I can see significant progress taking shape around the campaign and I am feeling positive about it all. However, as always when we get a new PM priorities change! This is why over the next few weeks it is essential we ensure that the Government see how important this issue is to tackle!

It would be amazing if you could help by doing 2 things!

Copy and paste this message on your social:

Turning people with #eatingdisorders away from support because of their BMI is a complete injustice! We must change this NOW! @BorisJohnson @10DowningStreet will you act NOW and support @HopeVirgo’s petition to #DumpTheScales https://www.change.org/p/eating-disorders-are-not-just-about-weight-dumpthescales

And secondly sharing the petition with 5 people who you don’t think have signed it yet. We have just over 5k until 100,000 (where I have some extremely exciting plans!!) and it would be incredible if we can get there this weekend! If we all get one new signature we absolutely smash it! 

As always feel free to contact me on my Twitter hopevirgo or Instagram hopevirgo1 if you want to get more involved or share your story!
