Eating Disorders in Discussion, Wednesday's Child

BMI Nonsense & ‘Mechanical Eating’ for Recovery


Listen Later

Sarah and Debbie are back for another insightful episode, discussing some of the big themes which concern and annoy you around eating disorders.

They debate the infuriating situation which still sees so many healthcare professionals judging someone’s eating disorder ‘status’ on the basis of a numerical BMI.

You’ll hear them call for your own experiences under different regional healthcare providers and community teams. Can you help Wednesday’s Child paint a better picture of where GPs and medical teams are truly understanding the illness…or whether they need to be told that their approach is outdated and simply not good enough?

Their chat also hits on that tough phase when you really have to urge yourself to step into ‘mechanical eating’ and to ride with some of the discomfort – physically and emotionally – which comes with that.

They’re not holding back…so if you’re squeamish about hearing discussion around toilet habits, here’s your gentle warning 😊!

A final note on today’s episode is around whether it’s sensible to return to university if you still don’t feel fully recovered from your eating disorder.
