Eating disorders have a lot of backstory, including things like an unstable household, codependent parents or emotionally unavailable parents and even things like one off-hand comment at 10. All of these things build up and eventually can spiral into unhealthy eating habits that plague a person's life. However, as our guests knows first hand, recover is possible.
