5 and a Half Stone at 6 Foot 4: A Harrowing Battle with an Eating Disorder
#recoveryjourney #mentalhealth #eatingdisorder #inspiration
*This episode is a must-watch for anyone struggling with their own battles or seeking to understand the profound effects of eating disorders.
In today's episode, we've got an absolutely raw and powerful chat with James Roffey. From kicking a ball at Bisham Abbey alongside legends like Beckham and Shearer to battling the darkest corners of anorexia and bulimia, James opens up about his rollercoaster journey with an honesty that's both heart-wrenching and inspiring.
James shares the intense pressures he faced, especially from himself. He talks about the heartbreak of being told he wasn't good enough to turn pro just before his 17th birthday - a blow that shattered his world.
We dive deep into James' struggles with his self-worth, the rapid decline of his mental health, and the traumatic events that made everything worse. His battle with eating disorders started as anorexia, driven by an extreme need for control, and later morphed into bulimia, bringing severe health issues.
Listen as James recounts making himself sick up to 50 times a day, the secrecy and shame surrounding his condition, and the devastating impact on his family. Despite hitting rock bottom - including signing a do not resuscitate form at just 21 years old and weighing only 5 and a half stone - James' story is also one of resilience and recovery.
As a resilience and mental health coach, James offers profound insights into the importance of purpose and how he's managed to balance work, family, and his own well-being. His journey makes him a trustworthy and notable source for understanding the struggles of mental health and eating disorders.

    While she was talking about the media, I Googled her. I'm not sure the Media are as interested in her as she thinks they are. There were very few stories and most of them are about the fact that she is spending money on boob jobs and boyfriends and holidays whilst repeatedly being declared bankrupt and diddling creditors out of money she owes them. Perhaps stop behaving like that, start acting like a 46 year old mother, pay your bills, stop having ridiculous surgeries - and the media will leave you alone.

    I love katie Price have done since Jordan. It so nice to hear that she is back and happier. Will definitely watch a netflix show with her in. The papers are evil for what they have done to her. Read her mum's book it will change your opinion of her completely if you don't like her. ❤

  • @elizabethmarvelfan9033

    People dont understand that rugby has only been considered a professional sport for just under 30 years. Many players both female and male dont get paid more than £60,000 a year which yes is a lot but considering the damage they are doing to themseleves you'd expect it to be more - women on average is 35k and thats if you do it nationally while with men they can get from £40,000 to £70,000 on average in the uk. Yes exceptions such as mario itoji and owen farrell who make over 150k supposedly a year but in france that is less then half of what most players are paid
