Two years ago she weighed only 64 lbs, but an ordinary chocolate bar helped her cure anorexia
Anna Windley, a 21-year-old from the UK, suffered from severe anorexia and was terrified of food. Despite being an active student and participating in sports, Anna was ridiculed for her weight and decided to lose weight by severely limiting her food intake to only one sandwich every few days.
This caused her to end up in the hospital multiple times and be diagnosed with anorexia.
Anna’s fear of food was so severe that even the smell of it would terrify her.
However, one day she decided to try chocolate and was surprised that it didn’t cause her to gain weight. This realization helped her overcome her fear of food, and she slowly began to reintroduce a normal diet.
It took two years for Anna to return to a healthy weight of 45 kilograms, and she now leads a healthy lifestyle.
She looks back on that period of her life with horror and emphasizes the importance of not letting societal pressure dictate one’s relationship with food.
