Not everyone who sees thin ideals experiences difficulties, but those who are vulnerable can land on online content that's not good for their self-worth, self-esteem & mental health. Now hearing from @colnoc77 #BodywhysBodyImage
Social media pushes our expectations up and up & it skews our expectations and our understanding of what's 'normal' is distorted. Hearing from @colnoc77 at today's body image website launch. #BodywhysBodyImage
Dr Colman Noctor @colnoc77 sharing a personal example after turning 40 and what came up in his timeline after some online searches. 'A reinforcing spiral' can unfold when interacting with social media & our search habits. #BodywhysBodyImage
Men experience low body image too, says @colnoc77 #BodywhysBodyImage
When you bring in @colnoc77 as a speaker, you're always left with something to take home. 1) Relationship with self is crucial. 2) Resilience isn't magically born out of having gone through a hard time. #BodywhysBodyImage
It can be OK to turn the lens inwards and reflect i.e. not use the outside world as a cue for how we feel about ourselves, says @colnoc77 #BodywhysBodyImage
Bodywhys CEO @HastingsJacinta introducing Bodywhys Board of Director & @IrishRugby player @SeneNaoupu

Eating disorders and sport, along with Relative Energy in Sport (RED-S) are complex. Both have a significant impact on athletes, from physical to mental health and performance. Tonight’s @BBCPanorama will explore some of this & may be difficult viewing.
Athletes are in a difficult position. There can be a sense that weight is front and centre in performance, with a focus on ‘ideal or race weight’ in elite sport or a specific sport & expectations around living up to sport norms. @BBCPanorama
Athletes need good support, information & empathy to ensure they don’t slip into risky behaviours where their health is sacrificed. @BBCPanorama @ColinJackson

Thread. 1) Today marks World Eating Disorders Day 2020 @WorldEDday & we’re highlighting four key challenges affecting people with eating disorders in recent months. #WeDoAct #ShareYourStory #showusyourpurple
2) Firstly, the #COVID19 pandemic has impacted & intensified people's thoughts, & feelings and ultimately their lived experience of eating disorders. #WeDoAct #ShareYourStory
3) What does this look like? Feeling that things are out of control, chaotic & increased stress & anxiety without routines to cope. Feeling trapped & suffocated as the eating disorder feels life consuming. #WeDoAct #ShareYourStory @WorldEDday

Here's something you might not know. #EDAW2019 Working in this area means we get a behind the scenes look at eating disorders, but crucially, we get a sense of the person too.
It is not all focused on behaviours or food. #EDAW2019 Sometimes people want to talk about other things too - putting the kids to bed, dating, college, getting a bank loan and more.
People with eating disorders are curious about the world around them, considerate of others, have a sense of humour and have their own voice, even it's not always obvious. #EDAW2019
