0:00.0	This show comes with a trigger warning. I'm going to talk all about eating disorders specifically.
0:06.1	It will speak about them. So please be aware of this. It isn't a conversation for young
0:11.8	developing children, perhaps even teens. If you or anyone has or is suffering from
0:17.2	disordered eating, please seek help. Welcome to Lisa Unfiltered on the Jesus Over Everything show, where I say what I mean,
0:24.7	I mean what I say, and in every conversation, I pray to keep Jesus at the center.
0:29.0	Here we go.
0:35.0	Someone sent me a reel on Instagram that was going around of a song by Emmy Russell called Skinny.

So at my birthday party, I skipped the cake because I just want to be. Skinny. Why am I in love with a mirror that says you're not enough?
