I Was 88 Pounds And Thought I Was Fat | We Weren't Crazy (EP 15)

🚨 Trigger Warning: This episode talks about disordered eating, body image, childhood emotional abuse, and the pressure to be thin in the 2000s. Take care of yourself first. 💛 ------- We’re getting honest about our eating disorders... for the first time, even with each other. Andrea opens up about developing an eating disorder at thirteen, after years of being bullied for being “the chubby kid” and living with a narcissistic mother who made her feel wrong, too much, and never enough. When your entire childhood feels out of control - the comments, the chaos, the emotional landmines - sometimes the only thing left to control is your own body. And in the 2000s, being skinny wasn’t just a goal. It was a requirement. It was the currency. It was the only way anyone told us we might finally be “good.” This episode is about the girls we were, the control we tried to steal back, and the women we’re finally becoming.
