Because I’ve been through it. I suffered from ED for more than 10 years. I went through all the phases of disordered eating: compulsive calorie counting, obsession with physical activity, and control over my appearance. My healing journey was transformative on a deep level. Today, I am passionate about guiding others on the same journey of acceptance and self-discovery.” SYNC UP WITH LUCIE: IG and Tiktok: @fightthiswithlucie Website: https://fightthiswithlucie.com/ #bodyimagemovement #bodyimagehealing #educationalpodcast #breakthecycle #learningtolovemyself
