Yesterday I kicked off Eating Disorder Awareness Week with a photo call in parliament!

It was brilliant to see MPs coming along to find out more about the campaign, support the Z-Card and show their thoughts around eating disorders being so much more than about weight!

We had over 20 MPs who came along and who are all keen to meet and discuss this further. (Photos can be viewed on my Instagram story "HopeVirgo_)

Following the day, the #DumpTheScales hashtag was the most used hashtag by UK MPs on twitter in the 24 hour period which is pretty cool and we also had a tweet from Nadine Dorries acknowledging the campaign (small steps!) 

There is still a lot to do be done but once again another positive step forward! 

There are 2 things you can do right now to help keep momentum going: 

1. Share the petition on your social media! 

2. Tweet your local MP:

Suggested tweet: Will you (INSERT MP) get behind @HopeVirgo’s #DumpTheScales campaign because eating disorders come in all shapes and sizes . ‪Add your name https://www.change.org/p/eating-disorders-are-not-just-about-weight-dumpthescales

Thank you for your brilliant support!
