Anorexia in Diverse Bodies: Nothing Atypical About It

from Mental Note · host Mental Note Podcast

American culture praises weight loss. A quick scroll of social media, magazine racks, or even the news will yield numerous "transformation" stories documenting how a fat person turned their life around by shedding pounds.  But at what cost? Today, we're exploring an eating disorder so camouflaged, you probably didn't even know it exists - Atypical Anorexia. Or, more accurately, anorexia in people with larger bodies. With our guide - recovery advocate Joanna Nolen - we will unpack how fatphobia impacts the medical system, insurance, and even treatment centers. Plus, Joanna will share her most practical wisdom about navigating this weight-loss-obsessed world as a person in recovery living in a larger body.  ____________________________________________________________________________________ Resources: Mental Note Podcast: www.mentalnotepodcast.com Pathlight Mood & Anxiety Center: www.pathlightbh.com  Eating Recovery Center: www.eatingrecoverycenter.com Free Group Support: eatingrecoverycenter.com/support-groups Free Evaluation with a Trained Therapist:  (877) 850-7199 "Don't Weigh Me Cards" https://ggle.io/5X7x
