She is so inspirational. Wow. I do wish that the title said "overcoming an eating disorder." A bad relationship with food is not the same thing as an ED. EDs are deadly mental illnesses that are about so much more than just the food. Which makes her recovery even more inspiring.
I love seeing people say and show recovery is possible because the treatment world can be awful in this way of saying we will always be with the eating disorder, won't "fully" recover, etc. I struggled severely for 15 years, literally bingeing and purging every single day by the time I got to college. I was told I'd probably be dead in a few years and I quit Cross Country because the training was impossible. I am now about six months into this switch just suddenly flipping and a solid month and two weeks without any behaviors like that whatsoever. This makes me believe I can even get back into running, but right now is not the time due to digestive issues and bone density loss. Maybe it will never be the same and that's part of recognizing the severity of eating disorders, but this type of video gives me a lot of hope that I can at least get back to enjoying the things I love and raising healthy children.
Tokyo Olympic Games marathon. I was nailing for 2 hours and a half in a television. It was nailing for her. I congratulate your Olympic medal acquisition!
eating disorder very common given how bad parents these days are feeding their kids unfortunately :( Congrats for your olympic medal! I already bought the Puma for my next marathon ;-)

Molly, you're awesome. You inspire so many. Keep on Keeping on. Keep on being you.
Excellent advice - especially for young girls and women.
