Episode Description

We talk about eating disorders in labs and vitals and weight. But when I look back at mine, the physical stuff was never the thing that woke me up.

What actually got me was everything else it took — the dinners I sat through without being there, the party I ran away from, the year in New York where I never once let myself have a bagel, the photo of my nana and my sisters that I'm not in.

In this episode I walk through those moments honestly. And then I tell you what each one looks like now, twelve years later. Because I got all of it back.

In This Episode:

  • Why we measure eating disorders by the wrong things
  • My sister's 21st birthday and the cup of minestrone soup
  • Why that night was about depression more than food
  • The opening night party I ran from in the middle of
  • The dinner my dad made — and the moment I still think about
  • A year in New York and a list of restaurants I never walked into
  • The ice cream photo I'm not in, and why it matters more now
  • What every one of those moments looks like today
  • Why the real cost isn't physical — and what that means for how you decide to recover
