Rhi grew up with her mother and two brothers in Melbourne. Her grandparents, who came to Australia post-war, cooked beautifully and valued food highly. But there was dysfunction in the family. In childhood, Rhi was teased by her siblings about her weight and when, at age 10, a significant adult indicated that her body size was a problem she began to run to try to change it. So began a two-decade long struggle with food that impacted on all aspects of Rhi's life, taking up mental energy that could have been used for healthier projects. Eventually Rhi found OA, and was relieved of the pressure and shame she had been carrying. This was the beginning of her recovery into a more balanced, freer, and more satisfying life with the supoort of others who understand.
