“Not only do I want to like myself but I’m not letting someone else make money off of me hating myself. That’s just a bunch of bull shit” - Sam
In our conversation, Sam and I talk more about how kids internalize the ways in which older figures in their lives discuss food and body image. We discuss what “looks like health” in the media vs. what is actual health, finances and treatment, discrimination and accessibility, and what it looks like for others to step in to help someone with an eating disorder.
