Angela Scanlon: ‘My eating disorder made my world feel safe’ | 23

How do you recover from an eating disorder?


John speaks to presenter, writer and broadcaster Angela Scanlon about living with anorexia and bulimia in her younger years.


Angela noticed her relationship with food change in her late teens, and went on to struggle with eating disorders for 15 years. She talks about how controlling her eating gave her a sense of safety, which years later morphed into an addiction to work.


Angela also explores how giving birth to her first daughter changed her mindset, and explains how meditating for 10 minutes on the tube can change her day.


Her new podcast ‘Get A Grip’ with Vicky Pattison is out now.
