Military service comes with unique pressures: strict fitness standards, deployment stress, and trauma exposure. It's no surprise that eating disorders affect service members and veterans at rates equal to or higher than the general population.

👉 Up to 18.5% of women and 8.5% of men in a national sample of U.S. military veterans screened positive for an eating disorder.

If you or someone you love is a service member, veteran, or military family member struggling with food, body image, or eating patterns, you are not alone, and help is available.

Prosperity Eating Disorders & Wellness Center proudly serves military families with locations in Norfolk and Reston, VA. We're in-network with major insurance plans to help make treatment more accessible.

With a new school year just around the corner, educators and college faculty are already busy preparing classrooms, organizing course materials, and planning for day one. 🎒📝

But preparing for a successful year is about more than lesson plans. It is also about creating an environment where students feel safe, supported, and valued.

Educators play an important role in shaping how students view themselves, their bodies, and their relationship with food. Classroom culture, everyday language, and how concerns are handled can make a meaningful difference for a student who may be struggling in silence. 💜

As you plan your classroom guidelines and curriculum for the coming semester, consider these four ways to help reduce eating disorder risk:

✨ Shift the focus of compliments: Praise effort, character, leadership, creativity, and skills rather than physical appearance.

✨ Approach health topics with sensitivity: Avoid lessons or activities involving calorie counting, BMI tracking, or student weight and body measurements.

✨ Promote a peaceful food environment: Encourage an inclusive, pressure-free atmosphere around food and avoid language that labels foods as “good,” “bad,” or something to feel guilty about.

✨ Take student concerns seriously: Do not dismiss extreme dieting, body dissatisfaction, or food-related distress as “just a phase.”

Prevention does not require perfection. It starts with awareness, compassion, and early support.

07/13/2026

Healing your relationship with your body and food isn’t just about what you do, it’s about what you choose to protect yourself from. 💜

In a world that constantly tells us to shrink, comply, and follow rigid rules, setting boundaries is a radical act of self-care.

Here are 4 things you never have to apologize for, explain, or justify to anyone (including yourself):

1. Letting go of clothes that don’t fit your current body: Your clothes are meant to fit you, not the other way around. Keeping clothes in your closet that trigger anxiety or body checking is a silent weight you don't have to carry. You deserve comfort right now.

2. Saying "no thank you" to the scale: Unless it is medically necessary for a specific treatment or dosage, you have every right to decline being weighed or to step on the scale backward at the doctor’s office. Your mental peace is a massive part of your health.

3. Curating your digital peace: The unfollow button is a boundary, not a punishment. If an account leaves you feeling anxious, guilty, or like you aren't "enough," you are fully allowed to clear them from your feed.

4. Honoring your hunger, always: Hunger doesn't care about the clock, social schedules, or what the person sitting next to you is doing. If your body is asking for fuel, it needs fuel. Trusting your body is how we heal.

Recovery is built on these quiet, daily choices to prioritize your peace over diet culture's expectations.

👉 Which one of these boundaries are you practicing today?

You don’t need to “earn” or “compensate” for what you enjoy this 4th of July.

Holidays that revolve around backyard BBQs, potlucks, and buffets can bring up a lot of noise from eating disorder thoughts. The pressure to follow strict “food rules” or view food through a lens of guilt can steal joy from the celebration.

Healing means remembering that food does not carry moral value. A hot dog, a slice of watermelon, a piece of cake, or a side of potato salad can all belong on your plate. All foods fit, and your worth is not measured by what you eat.

This holiday weekend, we invite you to practice self-compassion if things feel overwhelming, focus on the connection and moments around you, and remember that your body deserves nourishment every single day, no conditions required.

If you need extra support navigating the holiday weekend, Prosperity is here for you. 💜

Holiday weekends like the 4th of July can bring extra pressure around body image, diet culture, cookout conversations, swimwear, and changes in routine.

For those navigating eating disorder recovery, these celebrations can come with unique challenges and unexpected triggers.

At Prosperity, we want to remind you that your peace matters more than holiday expectations. You deserve to experience this weekend without the weight of food anxiety, body judgment, or the pressure to be “perfect.” You deserve to enjoy the celebration as you are. 💜

A few gentle reminders to carry with you this weekend:
✨ A swimsuit does not define your worth.
✨ Food does not determine your fun.
✨ You do not need to earn your meals.
✨ One weekend will not ruin your progress.
✨ You are allowed to rest.
✨ Your body does not need to be the conversation.
✨ It’s okay to set boundaries.
✨ You deserve to be present, not perfect.

Whether you are navigating recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, healing deserves compassion, flexibility, and support, especially during moments that feel harder than expected.

Starting eating disorder recovery can bring up mixed emotions.

It can feel scary to let go of patterns that once felt safe, even when those patterns are no longer helping you heal.

Recovery is not about losing control. It is about making room for support, flexibility, connection, body trust, and a life that is no longer ruled by eating disorder thoughts.

You are allowed to grieve what feels familiar while still moving toward something freer. Both can be true.

At Prosperity, we’re here to support you through every part of that process. 💜

Summer often brings a sharp increase in societal pressure surrounding body image, diet culture, and toxic fitness trends. For individuals navigating eating disorder recovery, this season can present unique mental health challenges.

At Prosperity, we want to remind you that your recovery doesn’t take a summer vacation, and it doesn't need to look like anyone else’s. 💜

We've shared these gentle reminders for the days you or your clients might need a little extra grace:

✨ Rest days belong in your summer, too.
✨ You are allowed to take up space.
✨ You don’t need to “burn it off” to enjoy it.
✨ Your healing doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s.
✨ Off days are not setbacks.
✨ You don’t owe anyone a reason for what you eat.

True wellness means prioritizing mental peace over societal expectations. If you are a professional supporting clients through these seasonal triggers, or if you are navigating this journey yourself, remember that healing is not linear.

Which of these reminders resonates most with your practice or personal journey today?

"I am different, but we are all different, which makes us not that different after all."

True healing happens in community. While an eating disorder can make you feel entirely isolated in your food fears or body anxieties, opening up often reveals that you are never as alone as you think.

Sometimes, the most beautiful reminders of connection and food freedom come from unexpected places, like this sweet illustrated book, Georgie the Corgi’s Insecurities. 🐾

Swipe through for a few reminders we love!

🍦 Food can be both nourishing and joyful. Recovery includes building flexibility around food and learning that food is allowed to support both our bodies and our happiness.

🐾 Community matters. When we share the things we have been holding inside, we often discover that someone else has felt that way too. That connection is such an important part of our PHP and IOP groups.

💬 How would you answer the question from the book: “What foods do you consider food for your soul and food for your body?"
