"You Don’t Need to Lose Weight to Be Loved"

*This episode may be triggering to those with sensitivities around eating disorders.

UNFILTERED; I’m joined by Jackie Shames, a woman who opens up about her long-term struggle with her body image and an eating disorder. We hear how her ED impacted her dating life and made her feel like she wouldn’t find love if she didn’t look a certain way. She shares how she’s worked through it, how therapy has helped her, and why she no longer feels like she needs to lose weight to be loved. We discuss whether or not you should date with an ED, if, when and how you should communicate about it to someone you’re dating, tips for feeling confident when going on dates, and much more.
