Be The Hot Fudge Sundae

To complete the eating disorder series, Lauren and Rebecca explore the wild world of food addiction. Victims of childhood sexual abuse are far more likely to become obese adults. Bingeing after sex, just wanting to FEEL FULL. Compulsive eating as anorexia of the soul. Food is less stigmatized than alcohol but being fat? Isn't. On Patreon we discuss how our eating got weird in Covid.
