• Be your authentic self and be respectful of others. You might not always agree with what other members have to say; that’s okay. We want to promote a “brave” space where messy topics can be discussed and debated, as long as you treat others with the same respect as you’d like them to have for you. That means no harassment, bullying, or name-calling. Mean-spirited talk about anyone’s appearance is not allowed.

​

• All bodies are welcome here. Remember that people with eating disorders come in all shapes and sizes. This is a size inclusive space. It is critical that everyone feel safe here no matter what their weight/shape/size may be. Please refrain from using fat shaming or weight stigmatizing language, or language that suggests weight loss as a treatment goal.

​

• All people are welcome here. People struggling with eating disorders come from every race, culture, sexual orientation, gender identity, socioeconomic group, physical ability, political orientation and religious/spiritual tradition.

​

• Respect different levels of recovery, and be mindful of others' healing processes. It is important to be respectful of the fact that others may be in a different place in their healing process than you are.

​

• Leave the numbers out of it. Weight, BMI, clothing size, diet tips or the calories you ate today don’t belong in this group.
