Paragraph #11 is gold. “Sometimes I count all the monthly payments I’ve made and wonder if I am that dollar amount less ill,” is a thought everyone has had, but as of this moment I have never been able to put into words. Cannot wait to read more!
What a great writer you are and this was such a good and "fun" read even though I'm sure it wasn't fun to write. I've loved you on the pod for so long and really appreciate all the honesty and it really makes one feel "seen". I'm 37 and have had a version of bulimia/ anorexia since my teens and it's only now that it's been in the most control (e.g. only pulled the trigger a couple times this yr) and I don't know of that's because I threw out my scale and stopped doing the morning naked stare down of my body or a combination of that and knowing how prevalent this is as it has only recently been in media. Thank you for your pod and your writing with the frankness that makes it feel genuine and real. I hope you continue to write and get published, even if it's not about this particular subject matter, take care and don't be so hard on yourself, it's a long progress and every micro improvement is not to be discounted
I will never not be overly effusive and embarrassing when it comes to my love for you and your words. Thank you for starting a newsletter. It's such a gift!
Pat one time I had the honor & priv to meet you at club cumming after you hosted and when I told you I was a dietitian you asked omg what should I eat to be skinny and I said uhhhh.... fruits and vegetables I guess? and to that I just want to say that I’m glad u seeked real treatment bc what an absolutely flawed answer I gave you! love you Patrick Owen ass regan this newsletter gave me life
Got deeply rejected on a date last night..... This was the only thing that worked to distract myself for a few minutes afterwards. Which is to say every line firmly kept my attention I think - made me think or smile. I loved it and was so glad I had signed up.
after reading this and coming back to the first paragraph where you doubt that you're a great writer... it's like... i would read any book you published this was so fking good
You are our - believe it or not - generation’s David Sedaris and we are deeply lucky.
Pat, please submit this to the New Yorker, I'm not kidding, the people need to see it

This is great, great, really really great, like Bethenny's simple salad.
Obsessed with the way you write! Also this is very much Scorpio vibes. Thank you for sharing.
"Sometimes I think of myself as a fun gay uncle (read: an aunt) to my therapist and eating disorder woman." made me die
