To have people tell you that, no, don't have the surgery. Oh my god, you are so close-minded about this. You're saying that you think I'm healthier when I'm thinner.
Imagine emerging from a mental institution only to face a new set of challenges. That's where Rosie Waterland found herself, grappling with self-worth and body image. In this episode of 'Mum Says My Memoir Is A Lie', Rosie opens up about her journey post-hospitalization. She shares how she learned to be her own hero, found comfort in being single, and navigated the tricky waters of mental health.
But it wasn't all smooth sailing; Rosie also dealt with significant weight gain, a struggle that had its roots in drama school and led to years of disordered eating. The weight gain became an excuse to isolate herself, until a poorly written article online ignited a spark within her. Frustrated, Rosie penned her own piece and submitted it to Mamamia, a top Australian women's website. This marked a turning point in her career and outlook on life.
Throughout the episode, Rosie and her mum Lisa discuss this transformative period, highlighting their differing perspectives. They delve into the complexities of weight, self-acceptance, and the power of storytelling. Rosie's candid reflections offer a mix of humor and raw honesty, making this episode a compelling listen for anyone dealing with similar issues.
