The perfect trap
Body image and unattainable beauty standards - Anna shares her eating disorder story.
Anna fights her eating disorder, knowing she needs to be healthy if she wants to be a mum.
She spent half her life dealing with the condition, until she was finally diagnosed and treated. Now she is working on getting better, trying to appreciate the joys in life again, and regain the spark she feels she lost. She writes a letter to her future daughter about how to avoid the βperfect trapβ in which she found herself.
