Experiences of people with larger bodies and eating disorders

Description 
There is a lack of literature understanding the experience of people in larger bodies who also experience eating disorders. Often the experiences with the medical system can be invalidating and make symptoms of their eating disorders worse. This project would look at the lived experience and how we as health professionals can better support this population.
