This morning it was so exciting to launch the next phase of my #DumpTheScales Campaign which will help more people get the support they need!

Eating disorders come in all shapes and sizes yet we still live in a society where people believe them to only effect those who are underweight.

It is a complete injustice that people are still being turned away on the basis of their appearance or weight.

As a result of this I am absolutely delighted to have been working closely with SWLSTG over the last few months to co-produce a resource which will directly tackle the issues that have been raised by thousands of people all over the country effected by eating disorders, barriers that currently stop them from getting the support they need.

The resource will mean fewer will be turned away from getting the support they need because of their weight, a vehicle step in ensuring guidelines are properly implemented for all who seek support. This is also a guide designed to support GPs to better understand Eds, meaning the quality of care you receive doesn't depend on the numbers on a scale or letters on a postcode.

Next week I am presenting the recourse in Parliament and it is vital we get Government Support so that we can roll this our further.

There is still more work to be done but I feel so happy and quite emotional in getting this far!

Please share the resource far and wide! And keep sharing and signing the petition!
