Her ED comments on IG........ sigh.
She's just so wrong!
YES you do need to work on underlying issues. EDs are often a symptom of other issues. Learning to eat properly again is important, but without doing the work on what's underneath that, you'll get right back or find other destructive ways to deal with them. She may not see how they are related, but EDs are so often a coping mechanism for other things. Her constant need for control and planning her life in 30 minute segments would be something a therapist would want to look at, for example. What would happen if she would let that go, even a little bit?
And sure, not all therapy works for everyone, and some ED patients have to go for more than one treatment. I personally know people who have been in and out of clinics for literally years. But that does not mean that it does not work.
YES, you can recover from EDs, but it takes work, and being aware of your triggers. Anna has not done any work and clearly isn't aware of her triggers.
She also claims that she does not work out for weightloss and that in her mind the two aren't even linked. Such BS. If that was the case, what was that manic walking with very newborn Andrea just before the Italian wedding they went to? Once they went there, the walking was over.
Needing therapy does not mean you are 'broken'. It means you need help in certain areas of your life, and there is NO shame in asking for help if you need it. For her to suggest that people in therapy are 'broken' is so damaging, and could cause a huge set-back for her vulnerable audience. What a disgusting comment to make!
And lastly.... why does she post these on top of pictures of her kids?? Her children should be left out of this! If anything, her kids should be yet another reason for her to finally, finally take this serious and get some proper help. But she won't. She'd rather bring it up every now and again for sympathy and attention than actually do the work.

"Is it true that your nanny lives with you?"
Eduardo has to think... 'No... once, because she was a live-in nanny but not anymore' So the previous nanny WAS live-in like we had talked about here. When she moved out is probably when Jonathan did that passive agressive house tour, showing the empty wardrobes in the spare rooms.
