Ep 259: Reclaiming My Identity After Bulimia


Listen Later

In this deeply personal episode of Ditch the Binge, Renae shares the unexpected moment—during mile eight of a half marathon—when she realized she no longer identifies as bulimic. After over a decade of battling food, body image, and the shame that came with it, Renae reflects on how recovery slowly, quietly took root until one day… it just wasn’t who she was anymore.

She opens up about the years of bingeing and purging, the treatment programs, the obsessive research, and the painful identity that felt like it would always define her. But through consistent, messy, and unglamorous work, she found freedom.

This episode is a raw, hopeful reminder that change doesn't always come in dramatic before-and-after moments—it builds quietly. And one day, without realizing it, you might just wake up and realize you're not who you used to be.

Perfect for anyone in recovery, stuck in an identity they want to outgrow, or wondering if lasting change is really possible.
