AN ANOREXIA survivor whose weight plummeted to just FOUR stone leaving her bedbound for two months has shared her incredible recovery.
“I was still eating but the struggle would come after mealtimes. I would escape to the bathroom and bring up everything I had just eaten. “I was an ill person surrounded by ill people and found it very distressing and traumatic. I was placed on constant bedrest for two months, and then had to use a wheelchair for six months.
“My body was trying to protect me because it knew I was in danger. I was walking thirty-thousand steps a day even though I had no energy and was constantly exhausted”. “I promised myself that if I woke up the next day, I’d give it to her. Luckily, I did wake up and I handed her the note and watched as she cried.
She turned 18 in May and was transferred to an adult eating disorder specialist unit in Aberdeen, where she finally felt able to focus on recovery.Credit: MDWfeatures/Ellie Spofforth Ellie now lives with her parents in Aberdeen and has steadily gained three stone weight.
