(T/W) Battling Eating Disorders with Taiba Khan

***Trigger Warning*** This episode features themes surrounding disordered eating and body image. If you have been affected by any of the conversations taking place in this episode, please visit: https://www.nhs.uk/mental-health/feelings-symptoms-behaviours/behaviours/eating-disorders/overview/

A new series launched in collaboration with Shalina Litt (@iamshalina_) explores the issues that take place "Behind Closed Doors".

In this episode, Shalina speaks with Taiba Khan (@taibawkhan). Taiba has been battling with an eating disorder for many years of her life. It started as a healthy weight loss journey, but it soon took a dangerous turn, resulting in drastic weight loss through unhealthy, damanging means. Once Taiba came to the realisation of what she was doing to her body, she promised herself that she would take the right steps to recovery. After landing a job in Kuwait, Taiba began to live a more healthy life. Although she is still struggling with her eating disorder, Taiba is in a much better place, both physically and mentally.

Taiba has now launched an Instagram page (@taibawkhan) to share her journey and to inspire those who have an unhealthy relationship with food that recovery is possible. She now proudly displays pictures of herself before and after her eating disorder, as well as food!
