Season 2, Episode 37

It's British summertime at long last and what a great week this has been for sunshine.

Today we have another special guest Jessica Baker who suffers from an Eating Disorder, Jessica now in her mid fifties has been struggling with this since she was nine years old.

Jessica tells us open and honestly how she has coped with this eating disorder over the years telling us her highs and lows, yo-yoing with her weight made it difficult at times to cope with her appearance, and how she felt inside.

Jessica is still today struggling with her illness today but does have the benefit of a very strong will and has come to terms with her illness and learnt how to manage her illness by understanding the situation she finds herself in.

Listen to this remarkable storey and learn sometimes what you see on the outside is very different sometimes to what is going on the inside of a person.

There are several types of eating disorders. The most common are anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) and other specified feeding and eating disorder (OSFED).

Behavioral symptoms of eating disorders may include:

  • Restrictive eating.
  • Eating a lot in a short amount of time.
  • Avoiding food or certain foods.
  • Forced vomiting after meals or laxative misuse.
  • Compulsive exercising after meals.
  • Frequent bathroom breaks after eating.
  • Withdrawing from friends or social activities.


Trauma, anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder and other mental health issues can increase the likelihood of an eating disorder. Dieting and starvation. Frequent dieting is a risk factor for an eating disorder, especially with weight that is constantly going up and down when getting on and off new diets.
