The dietetic role within eating disorders teams can be undervalued. In this paper, we have tried to highlight the role senior dietitians can have.

Dietetic colleagues across ED services often feel under-utilised and misunderstood.

This scoping survey concludes that dietitian’s in ED teams are under-represented and understaffed.

When you say “you look well”, people with eating disorders might hear:

• you’ve gained weight
• you’re not sick
• you don’t need help
• your struggles aren’t valid
• you must be better
• you don’t deserve support
• you’re making it up
• you can stop gaining weight

All I want for Christmas is…

• eating disorder services to stop relying on BMI
• diet companies to stop preying on vulnerable people
• calories to be removed from menus
• all eating disorders to be taken seriously
• all body sizes to be accepted and appreciated
• eating disorder stigma to disappear

Some things not to comment on this Christmas:

- someone’s weight
- someone’s size
- how much they are eating
- how little they are eating
- the speed they are eating
- the type of foods they are eating
- the times they are eating
- your post Christmas diet
- how fat you feel
