Welcome back to another week of Beyond the Secret.

My name is Ace Fanning and today I am coming to you on a Thursday or maybe a Friday depending on when you listen to it,

0:19.2

which is a little different but with Memorial Day I forgot that Tuesday was Tuesday and then

0:29.3

I thought about it even more and I knew this episode would definitely have to be put into two parts because

0:38.4

there are just a lot of things to cover. But I also don't want a lot of things to cover, but I also don't want a lot of time to pass between the two

0:47.1

were single so I could starve myself again. And there is definitely a point where you can

3:09.3

begin to hear the story steer in that direction but that is not the story we are

3:18.1

telling today. So this week's secret, my eating disorder, part one. I'm going to be. So tell me about yourself when you were a young girl. It was a pretty normal family. My mom is a nurse so she
