A former anorexia battler has shared a message of hope after beating the cruel disease. At the height of her eating disorder, Emily Hale would walk 70,000 steps a day, become forgetful and feel faint after having a shower.
But after bravely reaching out for help and receiving the specialist care she needed, Emily managed to overcome the illness. Now aged 23, she helps others at the hospital where she once received treatment herself.
“It's hard looking back at myself year ago," she said. "Last August I was in and out of A&E all the time. Something different was wrong with my blood every week. Now I am working and I don’t have to worry when I'm next in hospital."
