Mental Aspects of Disordered Eating & BehaviorsIn today's episode I decided to share a little bit about my history of disordered eating, the correlation it had to body image issues and fat-phobia within our society, the BMI scale (& why I don't like it), as well as the ramifications that I have been facing (including, but not limited to, the loss of my period). I wanted to share this because I feel that stories are powerful, my younger-self could have benefited from this type of story, and openly acknowledging this dark part of my life is very healing for me. I never want my episodes to cause harm to anyone, so please use discernment and look at the trigger warnings before listening if these topics are triggering for you personally.
