We got in touch with Jessica after reading her brave and insightful post on dealing with anorexia.
This is just a selection of her blog that deals with her internal battle :
The whole day is one big assault course that I have to tackle my way through. Anorexia is constantly screaming in my ear. Screaming about food. Screaming about eating in front of others. Screaming about eating too much. Screaming about sitting all day. Screaming about drinking too much water. Screaming about exercise (I'm no longer allowed to run which is killing me). It's like a bully who never leaves you. I don't have a life, I exist. Work. Home. Work.
