If you want to see my full story then please click here..


When I was diagnosed with anorexia, I wasn't 'skinny' or 'thin', I was weight restored, the perfect weight for my height. Ever since I was a little girl I would be told I had a belly on me, so I would try and hide food in my room at age 14 when I was living with my Dad. If you ever seen me, you wouldn't have noticed, I was very small at just 4ft 9inch, I was tiny, I would be crowded round in the classroom and outside in the playground. It was horrible. 
I held a secret and that was I would drink so much water which would fill me up. 
It worked a short while until I rebelled against Ana, the girl in my head telling what and when to eat, it's horrible. I'm still battling her even today. 

It's a tough journey, but know you are not alone in this.





We are here to help you. 




Much love,
