Welcome to Munch and Mend!

This is my website and channel all about living with and recovering from an eating disorder, which is a subject that lies very close to my heart.

M&M What’s it all about

I have decided to put my humiliation and embarrassment aside to expose the raw truth about my eating disorder, in the hope I can achieve seven specific objectives

I know I can never turn back the clock and change my past, but I am sure as heck going do everything that I can to use the lessons I have learned to motivate and empower others, and encourage them to fight for a life free from the grips of their eating disorder.

Having spent many years battling a chaotic cycle of eating disorders, I have recently reached a place in recovery that I only ever dreamed of. This sudden change occurred after I lost my mum to cancer, which opened my eyes to the simple reality that life is short and I need to make the most of every minute, combined with the desperate want to be there for my family.
