I suffered with anorexia for more than 10 years but I recovered. I needed to go through a lot to pick up enough tools to recover for good, including redefining my ideas around what made me successful, accepting myself and allowing myself to truly express who I was, and had the fortune to find my life’s passion and make it my work, but the last one couldn’t happen until the previous steps were in place. I have been at extreme low weights and completely miserable, but at the time thought I could only be happy if I was emaciated. I’m so glad that’s over. I thought it would be a lifelong thing, that I would never recover, but it doesn’t have to be.
