How does a one-time anorexic become a food blogger?
The first thing is to buy bigger clothes. There is no way you can celebrate making, sharing and, most importantly, eating food and be obsessed with weight. That’s not to say you can’t enjoy your food and be slim and healthy.
When you suffer from disordered eating, there is nothing healthy about you.
My eating was chaotic in my late twenties, but I am one of the lucky ones, I recovered. I have always been big boned; I’m tall, broad shouldered and I put on weight easily.
In the years following my mum’s fatal car accident, I learned that if I put my mind to it, I could lose weight too.
If you need some food for thought, have a crack at these Super food breakfast bares (post continues after video):
I never felt good enough for my mother, she was a model and beauty queen back in her day – slim and beautiful. I was too big, too loud, terrible at tennis, and loved horse-riding, skiing and singing – not her cups of tea. I knew she loved me but I felt that I wasn’t the daughter she wanted, crippling for someone who just wants to please. Then she died, and I had never made her happy.

How do I approach this subject with a friend that I am worried about. I have not actually seen her for a number of years. She was always glamorous, but sporty and fit. Now on Facebook all I can see is her fading to skin and bone. Still glamorous, but skeletal. How close do you have to be to someone before you can raise it or show concern.
Sometimes "RU OK?"
Followed by "Call me if you want to catch up."
is a good starting point
