Continuing with our January theme of Addiction, I wanted to find out more about eating disorders and how it’s possible to be addicted to the feeling of consuming nothing at all.

 

So for this episode, I talk with the author or Raw Uncut: The Diary of an Anorexic Vegan, @Lydiabellsprout, about her 8-year addiction to anorexia nervosa and bulimia. I think her story of recovery may just be one of the most inspiring I’ve ever heard and I can’t wait for you all to hear it. As Lydia says, she may not feel like everything is perfect, but she now knows that she has the strength to get back up, whatever life throws at her next.
