What are eating disorders and how do they develop?
Eating disorders are complex mental illnesses with physical manifestations. A number of factors can contribute to the development of an eating disorder, including genetics, mental health, and cultural factors. While eating disorders are serious and can have life-threatening complications, they are also treatable illnesses.
How do I know if I have an ED?
If the way you eat and think about food interferes with your life and keeps you from enjoying life and moving forward, you may be experiencing disordered eating. Take it seriously and talk to someone who can help, this may be your primary care provider, or one of the helplines above.

Now, for me. In the video I mention that I don’t actually have an eating disorder, but I meant to elaborate on that and say that I haven’t been diagnosed with one. I have, and have had, a very complex and hostile relationship with food and my body over many, many years, where I have desperately tried to lose weight in the hopes that it would make me happy. It never did, and I inevitably gained it all back and then some. For me, I do think it all stems from a bullied childhood where I was called all sorts of bad names and made fun of for everything from how I dressed, what I looked like, what my parents were called, how tanned I always was in the summer, and even when I really wasn’t, I was called fat and ugly. That leaves wounds and scars that I didn’t have the tools to deal with myself, and it’s taken me many, many years of self-discovery and training myself to NOT think that way about myself and that my worth as a person is not defined my how much the scales say I weigh.
