Everyone told Froomes she was hot. This fuelled her eating disorder

Froomes (aka Lucinda Price) is a writer, comedian, broadcaster and author of ‘All I Ever Wanted Was To Be Hot’. Her book is a memoir-meets-manifesto about her experience with anorexia and binge eating disorder as well as exploring the pressures on young women to look a certain way.

In this special conversation we sit down with Lucinda to find out why she got a nose job and breast augmentation, and how she feels differently about each surgery, how moving from Melbourne to Sydney and working in media pushed her to change her body, the moment she knew her “healthy eating” had gone too far, and how she has reached a place of total recovery.

TRIGGER: We talk about eating disorders, weight loss, and disordered eating in this episode. If you need support, or want support to help someone you know, you can contact The Butterfly Foundation on 1800 ED HOPE or 1800 33 4673.
