Dr. Katriona O'Sullivan

She was before Kate.

You know, Linda Lassardi, Samantha Fox.

Ashley Graham you know she was like a few years ago Kim Kardashian so like there's trends like we're sold a physical size that is is beautiful and we should all aim for and the media does that to us but as a as a poor woman who actually had a lot of trauma like when I was introduced to Weight Watchers and the Slimming Worlds and the Slimming Clubs and the idea like of success and

of gaining something successful in my body, reaching a standard, a size, that became like an elixir to me, like losing weight.

I used to go to the slimming club and I would walk in and I'd have starved myself all day, not eating, gone to the toilet so I weighed the least.

We all did it.

We all did it.

Tuesday night.

Took my bra strap off.

Like I went in the room and there was this big picture of the woman who'd weigh us from when she was fat.

So the fat picture, and look at me, you could be as skinny as me if you just count the points.

And I used to stand on the scales and then I'd get clapped.

I'd get clapped.

But your whole week was good if you did well.

I know.

You know, that affected your week, didn't it?

It affected my week.

But then I'd leave and I'd go and binge because everybody has a big meal after weigh-in.

So, like, I didn't learn healthy eating.

I learned disordered eating, basically.
