“Initially it didn’t look like a relapse. My frame of mind was, I exercise a lot, I’m in a place where I’m eating well. I feel a lot stronger, physically and mentally. I felt in such a good place I thought I would really like to lose some weight. I just wanted to feel I had some control over my body and the way it looked!”

Welcome back to Prue Part 2, for another intimate and candid chat.

Prue wishes to remain anonymous.

Prue first spoke on the Love This Food Thing Podcast in Season 6 (Ep 55) about the impact of being sent  to boarding school aged 11 and the link between her diabetes and anorexia. 

No one came to her rescue.

This episode is a super helpful insight for anyone going through similar issues. Join me to hear Prue’s thoughts on recovery, relapsing and how you can rescue yourself.

“Nothing ever stays the same. Everything passes.”
