An Edinburgh University fresher has shared her brave battle with an eating disorder in a bid to help others.
Although never officially diagnosed, English language student Lottie Short, 18, began to see a change in her weight when she started over exercising and limiting her food intake.
This led to a calorie deficit that saw her lose a noticeable amount of weight. Lottie says that her own battle was not a traditional one, as on the face of it most people would perceive healthier eating and exercising as a reasonable lifestyle approach.
