Hi, I’m Patty Cabot

This site is devoted to the intersection between eating disorders and sexual abuse.

More than 42 million Americans have experienced sexual abuse, another 29 million have an eating disorder and these two experiences often exist in combination.

I’m not a therapist, researcher or statistician. I’m just an ordinary person who struggled with my weight for years before tackling my childhood sexual abuse (which, honestly, wasn’t the goal but more on that under About Me). As a result, I was able to control my weight, open myself to love and undo the ruin within. My goal is to help anyone else struggling with these issues and let you know that it is possible. And if it was possible for me, it’s possible for you.
