Anorexia in a Larger Body: How to Talk About Your Eating Disorder When Others Don't Understand

Can you have anorexia in a larger body? Yes. Yet weight stigma and stereotypes about what an eating disorder "looks like" can make it difficult to feel believed, receive appropriate anorexia treatment, or talk about your experience with others.

In this solo episode, Dr. Marianne discusses anorexia in larger bodies from both a clinical and lived-experience perspective. As an eating disorder therapist who has experienced anorexia and now lives in a larger body, she understands the complicated experience of having an eating disorder history that other people may not recognize.

Anorexia, Atypical Anorexia, and Weight Stigma

Anorexia and restrictive eating disorders occur across the weight spectrum. Body size cannot tell you how much someone restricts, how distressed they feel around food, or how much support they need.

Dr. Marianne explores atypical anorexia, weight stigma, eating disorder recovery, and the painful experience of receiving compliments about weight loss when restriction is harming your health.

How to Talk About Anorexia With Others

What do you say when someone tells you that you "don't look anorexic"?

Learn practical ways to talk about anorexia with family, friends, and healthcare providers, set boundaries around weight and body comments, advocate for weight-inclusive care, and respond when people don't understand your eating disorder.
