Episode Synopsis

Ever looked back at a time in your life and realised what you thought was “discipline” was actually destruction?That was me over fifteen years ago.In this episode, I’m opening up about my journey with disordered eating how it started when I craved control over my body, the hidden habits that spiralled out of sight, and the painful truth that even when I was at my thinnest, I never felt “enough.”I’ll share: The childhood and cultural pressures that planted the seeds of disordered eating.How starvation, endless cardio, and isolation became my normal.Why compliments on my weight loss only pushed me deeper.The turning point where I realised I couldn’t keep living this way.And how, more than 15 years later, I’ve rebuilt a healthy, balanced relationship with food one where eating is joy, not guilt.If you’ve ever battled with food, body image, or the pressure to shrink yourself to be “good enough,” this episode is for you. You are not alone and there is another way forward.ACCESS THE BUFF HUB (Free Resources to Help You Stay Consistent!) https://www.getbuffwithreets.com/thebuffhubFollow me here: Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@getbuffwithreets?l...
