And I think, yeah, eating disorders, it doesn't matter what eating disorder you have, you know, at The End Of The Day, if you engage in behaviors, it doesn't matter for how long or how you know how much I mean, eventually you know something.
Ever wondered what it's really like to battle bulimia? In this episode of IMPOWERED, Imogen Barnes sits down with Emily Samama, who opens up about her raw and real experience with the disorder. Emily's story isn't just another tale of food and body image struggles; it's about the deeper, often overlooked aspects of bulimia.
