The story of the girl who was able to overcome anorexia and resume her life from scratch thanks to the Instagram

For 22-year-old British Emelle Lewis, the battle with anorexia is one of the most difficult battles of her life and at the same time one of her greatest achievements. It all started when she was 15 years old, a delicate phase when she started to feel fat, ugly and to be the victim of the lynx in school. At this point Emelle also began to manifest the first eating disorders. I felt lonely, afraid no one would accept me unless I could lose weight and be alone. Every time I looked in the mirror, I hated every part of my body and wanted to wipe out every inch of it.

I gave up everything and began eating only crust, hummus, and rice cookies. I began to adapt to this new situation and to seek to lose more and more weight. I felt especially pain when I was cold. The turning point occurred when I was lying in bed, feeling that I could die. For the first time, I became aware that I had done nothing in my life, and I didn't want people to remind me of this. I started attending some accounts at Instagrams of girls who had managed to overcome anorexia and consult a dietian doctor. I changed my attitude toward food. It was very difficult, but after two years of treatment, I succeeded. Now I eat six meals a day and regularly go to the gym. ”

It wasn't an easy trip. I have left the treatment several times in the middle because I could no longer be able to do it, but again I found power inside me to resume it. Overcoming this illness has made me a stronger mentally. Now I see the world differently. Now I want my body for what it is and not for what sells television, fashion world or human society itself.” /Daily Mail
