Before I start this post, I want to say that I have a podcast episode where I talk about fatphobia and diet culture. My co-host and I speak about our pasts with eating disorders and how veganism helped us on that recovery journey. This isn't to say that everyone's experiences are the same. I am… Continue reading Tips for going vegan with an eating disorder
