This week on Wellbeing we are talking with Brittany Burgunder, author and life coach. Brittany was first diagnosed with anorexia at the age of 13. She engaged in disorder eating as the more weight she lost, the less anxious she became. Her anorexia would be with her for years, up until the time she was in college. Brittney weighed just 56 pounds when she was 20, and was near death. She survived her anorexia which morphed into a binge eating disorder. Within 18 months, she went from being underweight to being obese. Today Brittany has recovered from both eating disorders and in 2016 published her book Safety in Numbers: From 56 to 221 Pounds, My Battle with Eating Disorderswhich covers her journey with eating disorders. Today Brittany is a Certified Professional Life Coach and eating disorder specialist.

In this episode, Brittany talks about the beginnings of her anorexia, why she thinks it developed, how it impacted her daily life and relationships, how it changed her daily life over time, her relationship with food, how her anorexia morphed into binge eating disorder, how binge eating disorder impacted her daily life in contrast to anorexia, her journey to recovery from both eating disorders, how her book came to be, and how recovery has allowed her to get her life back. 

“I felt that if I could be perfect or if I could be the best at something, if I could be super successful it would sorta' overshadow how I really felt inside and mask how awful I truly felt." - Brittany Burgunder on this episode of Wellbeing

Tune in next week when we talk with another person that has gone though anorexia
