molly seidel "wants to see what she can do when she is clean"

ED/bulimia/anorexia/binge eating or whatever she has related to eating can definitely be a form of addiction. Clean seems like an appropriate word here

Clean is an unusual phrase here.

Better/Well/on-track/in a better place/more with it/centered/whole/at peace with myself

All of the above would reflect the positive self talk and transcendence from a disorder.

"Getting clean" usually isn't in that mix.

It could make people wonder.

Leave it to LRC pedants to overanalyze a perfectly harmless, innocuous statement.

I firmly and affirmatively do not believe any elite American or World athlete to be clean and I stand by it. I don't believe any statement nor declaration to be innocuous at that level.

I'm taking that judgment with me ad infinitum.

Not overanalyzing, the OP watched the interview to know what she said, then purposely gave it a misleading headline. They then explain the actual meaning but still nudge you to think maybe she isn't clean, scummy.

Molly is smart and educated. When she is saying "getting clean" multiple times in that episode of course that makes people wonder. She also mentions lying about mental stuff in previous podcasts

Simp harder

I am unfamiliar with using Eating Disorder and Clean in the same sentence.

Will the mods allow me to say something negative about Molly without banning me?

MS is catnip for the incel crowd here. It's one of the weirdest parts of this board.

No, getting better would be a better phrase.

ED is not a drug its a disorder. Most likely a mental one.

How do you get clean from a mental disorder??

Fat people should be categorized in the eating disorder sphere as well. No offense intended.

It’s one of the reasons the phrase ‘disordered eating’ has gained currency.

I do think her choice of phrasing is curious and merits some discussion. Clean can also refer to drug and alcohol abuse and being in a state of abstinence or sobriety.

Or maybe she is just planning to switch to my soap.

Me 2

She is an attention seeker. When will she race again. Look at her sister's IG.

It will be interesting to see if she will come close to her previous performance again. She is an all or nothing person. Thats great but I just dont trust her anymore. Every few month she comes with a new story in which she basically says she hasnt been honest before.

On a recent trip to my doctor, I asked if the side effects of one medicine I am taking could be a problem. He said, "Let's face it, all drugs are poison." I guess he wanted to realize that taking most therapeutics can be harmful.

I would not want to be ADHD drugs, all over things equal, but some people I know don't function without them.

Clean seems an odd way to put it. Getting off of the ADHD drugs seems more to the point.
