“I was born into a dream family, the last of four children. And despite this ideal life, something went wrong. I was seventeen, and I was seriously going to lose my bearings. Anorexia took over me completely, unpredictable and violent, a real tsunami. This disease is a long and terrible journey. I want to transmit to young people my will to live, the fight that I had to fight, preserved in my notebooks from the time, and also to help with prevention, to advise parents who feel helpless in the face of their child who does not eat more. At fifty, I built my life as a woman, I acquired a lot of strength and courage. This story is a rebirth, it is intended to be a tremendous message of hope. »
“I’m rickety. I feel my bones for the first time. With one hand, I can go around my thigh. My cheeks are hollow. I’m losing more and more of my hair. I no longer do my hair, I don’t wash myself, I stay in my pajamas all day. My skin is dry. I would love to stay like that. I am beautiful “.
