Disordered Eating
The reason why I have used the term "disordered eating" rather than "eating disorder" is because challenging relationships with our food or body may not be diagnosed.
They can affect our mind, body, energy, self-esteem, social circle, routine, and many other aspects of our lives.
However, diagnosed, in the process of, or not - these habits, rituals, and behaviours need a space to be spoken about.
