About

My first guest of the season, Roger Lloyd-Thompson, plays interviewer and asks ME about my eating disorders.It seems only fair if I am to expect the same from others. Eating disorders are difficult to talk about, however recovered. I believe that eating disorders are about unmanageable feelings. Once we stop the physical behaviours what do we do with them? I hope these conversations shed light in dark corners, prompt debate and, at best, heal.Episode Timestamps:[01:50] - How my story begins[08:20] - Childhood memories, golden syrup and skinny legs[24:30] - Bulimia[28:14] - Anorexia[32:00] - Therapy and tough love[38:00] - Pivotal moment of recovery[40:00] - Sitting with feelings[47:00] - Getting betterThank you for listening!If you enjoyed this episode, please let me know your thoughts on Instagram @thisfoodthingpodcast and consider leaving an honest review and rating for the show on iTunes, it helps with the ranking and as this is a brand new podcast, I’d be extremely grateful.
