You say yes with a smile, but your stomach twists……….

Because while BED is the most common eating disorder, it’s also the most overlooked. Not because it isn’t serious.Not because it isn’t painful. But because so many people are deeply convinced it’s their fault.

You walk into a room, and before you’ve even sat down, the scan has already begun………..

I developed an eating disorder at 15. It would be over two decades before I made my way to a more peaceful place with food, my body, and myself. For years, I swung between restriction, bingeing, self-loathing, and desperate attempts to shrink myself into acceptability.

And now, in my 40s, after all that hard-earned recovery, I find myself faced with something new, something I didn’t see coming.
