My ED Story: Struggling in the In-Between

In this episode of Your Body Story, we sit down with a guest who shares her personal struggle with an eating disorder that she has long hesitated to define. She opens up about the early triggers in middle school, the constant battle between seeking recovery and clinging to disordered behaviors, and the lingering fear of not being “sick enough” to deserve help. Join us as we explore the mental tug-of-war between relapse and healing, the dangerous myth of needing to be “sick enough” to seek treatment, and how diet culture and body image struggles can persist—even in high-functioning individuals. We also discuss the impact of social comments, enabling behaviors, and personal relationships on disordered eating. Stay tuned until the end to hear the powerful advice she would give her younger self—and anyone silently battling food, body image, and self-worth. 📩 Get the Help You Deserve: If you are struggling with disordered eating or believe you may have an eating disorder, visit https://linktr.ee/RDtoWellness to work with Registered Dietitian Hannah Saenz. 💬 Join the Conversation: If this story resonated with you, let us know by leaving a review. 🫂Create Awareness: We can all learn something from hearing someone’s story.
