Sarah Timpa had undiagnosed salmonella for 6 months, which greatly restricted her ability to eat. She lost a significant amount of weight in a short time and received compliments from many people in her life about how good and skinny she looked, especially from her ex-boyfriend (who was often highly critical of her body). Sarah developed an eating disorder as a result of trying to keep off the weight she lost while sick.

Some major topics discussed:

  • signs & symptoms of eating disorders
  • the way women struggle with comparing their bodies to others & trying to keep their partners happy
  • the mind/body connection and how if one is struggling, both are struggling
  • the struggle to articulate mental health disorders
  • how the gym allowed her to rebuild a healthy relationship with food
