- Body imagine
Wonderful episode regarding pregnancy and post partum that nobody talks about. I developed anorexia at age 13. Never thought I would have children but I have successfully birthed 2 and breast fed. Nobody warns you of the severe weight loss that happens with breast feeding and then the drive to lose more weight that was subconscious resulting in a massive relapse that I’m currently trying to overcome. You are amazing and so inspiring to me.
