I have been a huge fan of yours since 2012 when I discovered an article you wrote from a feminist approach to body image. I wish I could recall what the name was. I remember contacting you from a res ED tx through email to thank you for planting the seed to the way I viewed weight, and you kindly replied. In any case, through reading The Eating Instinct (and also attending your opening talk on the tour) and other empowering books like Christy Harrison's, Anti-Diet, I have been able to make tremendous progress. Thank you for writing this. While I was a low weight anorexia, I have observed how patients with the same anorexic behaviors are treated and it is infuriating. Even many ED tx centers and providers lack a HAES model, only causing more harm. I feel like this is an underappreciated type of discrimination - I wish every PCP could read this. Great piece, and so glad to stumble upon you here at Medium!
