Calorie Counting?! I know her…

Anyone else been down the deep dark well of calorie counting? Oh it's not fun. Counting every single calorie you put in your body, even if it's a piece of gum. Trying to push your lunch and dinner to as late as possible so you'll somehow wake up less hungry the next day? Restricting yourself so much that you are so fucking hungry that you then eat everything and more, and then for those of you that are fellow bulimics, you make yourself sick after. It’s hard out here. In today’s episode, I speak about my experience with an eating disorder and calorie counting.  How did it take over my life? How did my eating disorder look like? How did I get out of it? I’m not here to be angry with you if you are still engaged in eating disorder behaviours - I know how hard it is, especially when you feel so stuck. I’m just here to share my story and I hope that you find some reassurance in it - if I can get out, you can too. I love you all and I’m so proud of you for getting through the day. It’s hard. You work so hard to just live. One day it will make sense, one day it will mean something. One day you will have peace, and one day the pain will leave. You got this. Thanks for coming here today. Look after yourselves as best as you can and I’ll speak to you in the next episode.
