Stefanie Bonastia was about 15 years old when her eating disorder began. She was a shy, creative girl with anger she wasn’t aware of and wanted to gain a measure of control over her life. What started as anorexia became bulimia and later purging through exercise. She struggled mostly in secret but eventually left college and sought in-patient help. Her eating disorder ultimately spanned 25 years. Stefanie felt her relationship with food was so broken that she would never have normal hunger and satiety cues and never feel sane around food. But she discovered it is possible to heal your relationship with food even after years of failed attempts. In this episode, she shares her story, how she made peace with her body, and her work to help others find that same health and peace.
