As some of you know, I have battled an ED for 5 years now. Thankfully, I am in a better place than last year. However, i think many people believe once someone is a healthy weight and eating, they are recovered. In many cases this is far from the truth. Being a healthy weight with an ED mentality is still just as difficult, or even harder. Especially suffering in silence, as you are afraid people won’t take you seriously as you don’t look sick anymore. I want to raise awareness for this, as more often than not when a person has recovered physically, all of the support goes away. Please take the time to watch my poem, it’s not perfect but it’s coming from the heart 😁 Please be aware some of the photos are from when I was very unwell. If this is upsetting to you, or you are currently suffering from an ED yourself, please do not watch.

I am hoping to do a skydive in September for BEAT. Any donations would be very much appreciated 🩷

I am fundraising for Beat, the UK's eating disorder charity. Beat supports anyone with an eating disorder, their friends and family, as well as professionals working with or worried about an individual in their care.

These serious mental illnesses include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder. 1.25 million people in the UK have a diagnosed eating disorder. They affect people of all ages and backgrounds, and up to one in four sufferers are male. Eating disorders cost the UK's economy £16.8 billion each year.
