When Kelly Appleton's weight dropped to just 5st 5lb when she was 20, she was given a warning from doctors and an emergency hospital referral. It came not long after she'd finally opened up to her family after years of undereating and overexercising.
She was eating just 42 calories a day - at the same time as doing exercise - and was told that her "body was dying". Now, she has spoken about her struggles with anorexia in the hope of helping others.
Now, aged 24, Kelly is in a much healthier place, both physically and mentally. Her own experiences have led her to reflect and now she is at university studying to become an education mental health practitioner for children and young people.
