“I’m really not in a great place mentally right now and I’m not eating. I’m not hungry. Obviously I’m hungry, but my body and my brain are so disconnected from each other that my body… the hunger messages don’t get from my body to my brain.
‘I’m not avoiding food, I’m just not thinking about it because I’m so psyched up. My body is like a few steps behind me.
