Yet even during 18 months in hospital she secretly exercised, a habit she grew
hooked on when she developed Anorexia at 14.
Lauren now 26 and a healthier 38 kg, said, “I’ve had anxiety, depression and
obsessiveness compulsive disorder since I was a child. I’d walk the streets
from 6am to 6pm and go up and down any stair I could find. I shouldn’t
have bee able to walk that far. It was the Anorexic adrenaline. The
youngster was so addicted to burning calories that at home she would
avoid sitting and would frantically pace her room.
Lauren, of Witham, Essex, added, “It got out of control. It wasn’t about wanting
to disappear.”
Her low point came in 2004 when she plummeted to three stone and was
admitted to hospital.
She said, “I was moved to an eating disorders unit and they didn’t think I’d
make it through the night.”
She was discharged but needed a further 18-month spell in Addenbrooke’s
Hospital, Cambridge, where medics sectioned her because she kept
leaving to exercise.
