“I am ‘one of the lucky ones’ and was able to access the help that I needed. I’m now what you may call ‘recovered’, yet it is something which I talk about as still having to fight against every single day of my life. We live in a world where there is increasing pressure to look a certain way. Developing an eating disorder is quite often not about size, but it’s certainly always impacted by society and it’s view on what is an acceptable body. Eating disorders aren’t just about those who ‘look’ sick and it can therefore be very tricky to actually identify if a loved one is struggling.”Ranae is on a mission to dispel the narrative that "thinness = health and happiness" and is adamant that by unpicking the complex issues surrounding our relationships with food and our own bodies, this can be achieved. You can check out Disordered on Apple podcasts here and don't forget to reach out if you're struggling with disordered eating. There's online support groups available with BodyWhys or if you'd like to speak to someone you can call their helpline on 01- 2107906
