When she was full in the lifestyle business, she would always deny she had an eating disorder. For her co-workers and friends, she was a woman on extreme low weight. In her own eyes, she was just thin who needed to be thinner.
She spoke many times about her long battle with the disease, her fixation “with her weight” and how it all started.
Anorexia nevrosa is more than an eating disorder that can end life-threatening. It is a nightmare that keeps thousands of girls but also boys in its claws.
In an interview last year, she openly spoke about her struggle. “I’m sorry that there are so many girls living with this. I don’t want anyone to come through this, it makes me feel so sorry.”
