Two months into a new year and everyone’s new year’s resolutions are either in full swing or been forgotten after a week.
I never considered myself a typical anorexic, because it didn’t start in my teens. It wasn’t until I was 31 that I started restricting in order to cope with my divorce. I’d found out my husband was having an affair and he showed no remorse, no emotion.
My name is Katie, I am 36, and I am recovering from anorexia. I have lived with anorexia for nearly seven years.
I am writing this to tell you that you can beat anorexia. I have.
I can’t say it's been easy. But you need to be stronger than this voice in your head that is not yours.
I'd suffered with anorexia nervosa and bulimia for a year. Many people have perceptions & stigmas with these words, and don't realise every case is different.
