Get rid of food fear
A lot of people with eating disorders might also be downloading this for anxiety. I think it would be good to get rid of language demonizing weight gain and calling foods or drinks “bad” because it’s triggering language (intuitive eating therapists could be a help on this) and actually encourages food anxieties. We can encourage healthy activities without fear “ex: move in a way that makes you happy”. I’ll be leaving this app until that’s changed.

Yes! So unhelpful.

I actually came here to say exactly this! I’m in long term recovery from an eating disorder and downloaded the app for anxiety and was shocked to find food demonizing language in some of the general packs. It was incredibly triggering to me. Moreover I think that kind of language is incredibly harmful to anyone (and promotes a pretty toxic diet culture). Can we limit the diet and food related items to power packs specifically related to those ideas?
