A woman from England is sharing her story to help others who are going through an eating disorder.
Annie Windley from Derbyshire, England is in recovery after years of suffering from undernourishment and now hopes to share her story to help others in her shoes.
The heaviest weight this young girl ever hit was never over 29kg, roughly 63 pounds. Her low weight caused a multitude of medical complications and put her at high risk of heart attack.
21-year-old Windley battled with her eating disorder for five years, a challenge even today. While suffering, Windley, a Woolley Moor resident, underwent a multitude of hospitalization and medical treatments.
However, the young woman shared that she was able to use her love of running as a method to help her begin to recover. She even completed the Chesterfield Half Marathon in October of last year.
“I came to the delightful realization that rehabilitation is a breathtaking process that should be thrilling, unforgettable, and amazing. I believe that my anorexia will always be a part of me, but I’ve learned to control it and stop thinking about food.”, Windley said in one of her social media posts.
