Warmer temperatures and more hours of daylight are sure signs that summer is around the corner.
Other signs that we’re approaching the hotter months? The stress and uncertainty that comes with getting “summer ready.”
No one is immune to the summer pressure to have fun and look like it too.
For years, influencers, the media, and the diet industry have sold us a toxic image of summer “fun” along with the “ideal” summer body.
“Everyone was very flexible and understanding, I thought that a lot of rules and expectations were going to be much more rigid, but I always felt really heard and understood when I felt that something was wrong.”

Eating disorder recovery can mean all that and more.
And it’s possible for you.
Spend your summer at BALANCE and pursue recovery when you need it most.
Although the summer carries expectations of carefree enjoyment, backyard barbecues, and sunny beach days, for anyone struggling with an eating disorder, the summer can feel as oppressive as the humidity it brings.
Unfortunately, the summer months can mean an escalation of eating disorder symptoms.
If you or someone you love is experiencing food and body distress, the rise of social events, like beach parties and barbecues, and changes in routines at work or school can be anxiety-provoking and triggering to disordered behaviors.
Eating disorders may also be exacerbated by the pressure to achieve a “summer body,” or the hotter temperatures that require less clothing.
Not to mention, an increase in social gatherings, which often revolve around food, plus messages on social media promoting weight loss and getting “summer ready.”
It’s normal for food and body struggles to amplify this time of year. But this summer could be different.
You don’t have to fake or hide from a joyful summer any longer. You can find joy this summer through the freedom that recovery brings without an eating disorder robbing you of life experiences.
