Mum Says My Memoir Is A Lie

Chapter 19: you will gain ninety kilos, and it will be the best thing that has ever happened to you


Listen Later

After her time in the mental institution, Rosie had never had a healthier sense of self-worth in her entire life. She was learning how to be her own saviour, how to feel comfortable being single and how to be mentally healthy. And then there was the issue of the weight gain. It began pretty much straight after leaving hospital. The disordered eating and Rosie's attitude towards food started back in drama school, and the cycle of binging and purging and starving had been going on in the entire seven years after that. Before she knew it, Rosie had gained ninety kilos, and that was the perfect excuse to never leave her room again.

That was until she read a crappy article on the internet. In frustration, she wrote her own piece and submitted it to top Australian women's website, Mamamia. This sparked off a dramatic change in host Rosie Waterland's career and her view on life. Rosie and Lisa talk about this period of time - there are a number of issues here they clearly do not agree on.
