I'm sharing my disordered eating story and recovery journey this week on Feed That Nation. This episode has been long in the making! It's taken me a long time to put words to my experience. So few people in my life know this story, but I'm not ashamed anymore.

TRIGGER WARNINGS: Non-graphic descriptions of diet culture, body shaming, restrictive and obsessive eating behaviors, MyFitnessPal, weight loss, purging, and mental health/depression/anxiety. If you will be triggered by listening to my story, I want you to honor yourself and STOP watching this video!

If you or someone you know are in immediate danger, please call 911 or contact your local emergency mental health services. 

I acknowledge that through all of my past and present struggles, I have always the privilege of a petite, white, healthy body and that fatphobia has never been something others have used to discriminate against me or invalidate me. People in fat bodies, people in non-white bodies, and people in disabled or chronically ill bodies often cannot say the same, and their stories are just as worthy of being heard and respected and empathized with as my own.
