She said: "Man. I can't believe the days where I would be scared to eat. Scared that if I ate one biscuit or drink a glass of juice I would put on weight, lethargic, no energy. Obsessing over the scales, only doing cardio to lose weight. Being grumpy, fatigued, constantly thinking about food. Coffee cigarettes and red bull for energy it's mental.
"Fast forward 6 years and I've reversed my mindset. It took time. I woke up one day and had enough of making myself sick. Enough of feeling weak and looking weak."
