I read Emmeline Clein's book '<a target="_blank" href="https://bookshop.org/a/55733/9780593536902">Dead Weight</a>' last fall in a flurry of non-fiction, memoir and journalism I was reading around eating disorder and body image. Dead Weight manages to bridge all three. Our conversation explores the cultural perceptions of anorexia and bulimia, the impact of diagnosis on identity, and the importance of pleasure and vitality in context of our perception of what disordered eating is. Dead Weight is a call for solidarity among those affected by eating disorders, which is all of us, no matter our relationship to food.Find Emmeline Clein <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/emmelc/?hl=en">here </a>and order her book, Dead Weight, <a target="_blank" href="https://bookshop.org/a/55733/9780593536902">here</a>I’ve written about ‘eating a lot’ here <a target="_blank" href="https://cadencedubusbrooklynstrength.substack.com/p/guacamole-fulfillment">Guacamole Fulfillment</a>And how <a target="_blank" href="https://cadencedubusbrooklynstrength.substack.com/p/only-big-t-trauma-kids-need-apply">not all poor mental</a> health is ‘bad’ - enjoy!Curious about exercise?
