Ryan Tubridy Radio Show Dec 2nd - Eating Disorder Interviews

Ryan Tubridy interviews three women, one of whom is now a counsellor and nurse, who have recovered from anorexia, bulimia and BED. Candid first-hand accounts of these conditions, their development, effects, treatment and recovery. The interviews start at 9m20s into the tape and end at 35m. It's worth listening to right to the end as you hear where they're at now and how they've turned their lives around.
