Congratulations to BIH Master’s student, @jadebailss, for her presentation at @fepsac2022! Jade’s research aimed to explore the antecedents and outcomes of a recalled weight stigmatizing experience in physical activity among adolescent girls. #FEPSAC2022

New research on applications of self-compassion!📢 Deductive content analysis revealed that applying self-compassion in response to a weight stigmatizing event during physical activity was limited by culturally endorsed beliefs surrounding weight in girls. psycnet.apa.org/record/2022-…

Will be making a point of supporting the restaurants that continue to prioritize the safety of their staff and patrons. Thank you for your leadership, @morrisseyhouse 👏👏👏

It has almost been two full years since we were sent into lockdown. In that time, all we have done is to try to create a safe environment for staff and patrons alike. We have followed all of the guidelines/mandates/laws in order to keep people safe. I do think that all levels of

Are you a woman between the ages of 18-25, enrolled at @WesternU, and do not regularly engage in exercise? We are looking for study participants! If so, email bihlab@uwo.ca with the subject heading “psychological experiences of aerobic physical activity"! #BIHresearch

Over the last 12 years I have been fighting to manage an eating disorder, schizophrenia and drug addiction. The idea of being alone in my mind without the use of drug-based mind altering substances is almost unbearable on a daily basis. Recovery is lonely and hard and ruthless.

Yet, the gratitude I feel for where I am now is overwhelming. I’m actually doing what I love and feel like I am spending my time pursuing work that could make the world a better place.

I guess I’m just reminding myself and others that while right now it feels unbearable, just keep going. 6 years ago I was a drug-addict who couldn’t hold a job and was likely headed to an early grave. Now I’m a university grad w a research scholarship. One day at a time.

Getting “healthy” has become synonymous with losing weight. As a coach I am exposed to this rhetoric everyday. But health can exist at any weight and size. 🤯🤯 I know.

I’m also very aware this triggers a lot of people in my field. I’m happy to provide podcasts, books and journal articles to help educate you if you find yourself either curious or upset or in disagreement with me on this matter.

I used to equate health and worth with size too, so much so that I spent over a year being treated for an eating disorder that I still have to work to manage everyday. More research suggests that obesity doesn’t kill, but fat phobia, diet culture and eating disorders sure do.

Friendly Reminder: the size of your body does not determine your worth. Your grades do not determine your worth. Your accomplishments do not determine your worth. Your job performance does not determine your worth. YOU are inherently worthy no matter what. Be kind to yourself.

Healthism: a newly emerging concept whereby those who consistently engage in health-promoting behaviours are viewed as superior to those who do not. Why is this a problem?

We all need to take off our privilege-lensed glasses and realize that sometimes fast food or Kraft dinner is all that person can afford to feed their family for a week. And thanks to us middle-to-upper class folks they now get to feel like an inferior human being.

If we made society more equitable to all, maybe we would see more people engaging in health-promoting behaviours. But let’s continue thinking that those who can’t afford certain types of food and expensive gym memberships each month just “don’t have their priorities right.”
