If things with food have started to feel tricky, rigid, or overwhelming - or if you’re becoming preoccupied with weight, shape, or size - Beat can help. They’re the UK’s leading eating disorder charity, offering information, advice, and helplines for anyone worried about themselves or someone they care about.

They provide a space to explore your relationship with movement, recognise when the balance may have tipped too far, and offer guidance on over-exercising - with practical tips for restoring a healthier, more balanced approach to activity and wellbeing.
