I was obese as a child – I’d steal sweets. When I was sent out of class for disruptive behaviour, aged 11, I’d rummage through everyone’s bags in the corridor and take their crisps.
I hadn’t got stretch marks yet – but by the age of 34, I looked like a huge cannonball. My eating disorder started young. I had feelings I didn’t know how to process, and food helped me to feel okay.
