#088. When it comes to eating disorders and losses, you might find you immediately think of ‘loss of weight’, but there’s so much more that can be lost through disorders linked to food and eating.
This is The Silent Why, a podcast on a mission to open up conversations around grief, to see if hope can be found in 101 different types of loss.
Loss #48 of 101: Loss through anorexia & orthorexia
In this episode you'll meet Julia Trehane, from Bournemouth in England. She's an Eating Disorder Recovery Coach and podcaster, and she lived with Anorexia Nervosa for 40 years. Julia has learned first-hand about the dangers of living with an eating disorder (ED) and tells us why it was so powerful in her life for so long.
It’s an honest conversation about a very serious (and not often spoken about) condition, but Julia is also a beacon of hope for anyone battling with a similar disorder because she's found her way to recovery - "I have complete food freedom, I don’t struggle with any eating disorder thoughts any more, I am fully recovered as far as I’m concerned."
And amazingly Julia told us she actually used to make Hermans (the original Herman that inspires our final question in every loss episode)! For more about those, if you don't know what they are, visit the Herman link below.
