I wanted to share some snippets from the messages I have had - this is a tiny proportion of over 100 messages I have received... this highlights what a massive issue this is!

“I saw an article about you on the Telegraph and was so relieved and happy to hear that someone was doing something about this scale dependent diagnosis issue!“

“I saw your story on Snapchat right now. I’m sorry for what you had to go through as I can relate... It wasn’t until I got help with my ED that I realize doctors only get trained for about a chapter in school when it comes to eating disorders so I’m glad people like you are making others aware of what we go through THANK YOU”

“Hi! I just read an article about you in the Telegraph, and it warmed my heart and made me feel so understood. I developed anorexia at 13. No one took me seriously. Girls in my class told me I was lying about it for attention. I didn’t receive proper treatment, I relapsed and relapsed and even attempted suicide. Because I wasn’t thin enough. Not only in my sick, biased eyes, but in the eyes of the people who were supposed to help me...”

“I am finally starting mine after needing help for many years like yourself my BMI and stats looked fine but on the inside I really wasn't."

“Hi Hope, I just wanted to message you and say I’ve just read your story on the Telegraph  and I’m so thankful you’re taking a stand and trying to change the way the NHS and other perceive eating disorders and how they supply help for people with them! I’ve suffered from bulimia for 4 years now and finally reached out for help last November, I was only seen every 8 weeks and because I wasn’t ‘underweight’ I wasn’t taken seriously enough and the eating disorder team basically refused to help me“
