Connie Inglis luchó durante 10 años, de los 21 que tiene, contra la anorexia. Fue ingresada en un centro especial en tres ocasiones debido a la gravedad de sus trastorno alimenticio pero fue hasta mayo de 2016 que por fin su historia empezó a cambiar.

Connie logró ser más fuerte que la enfermedad y empezó a subir de peso poco a poco. Su cambio, realmente extremo, lo registró a través de Instagram.

Sus imágenes se han vuelto virales y han impresionado al mundo.

A lot of people have asking me how I did it. How I recovered so fast… the truth is, I didn’t. An eating disorder is deceptive and horrible. It lures you in and makes you believe that you’d be nothing without it, you wouldn’t survive without it. I used to believe my ed was my best friend but all it ever wanted to do was kill me. In the picture on the left I was 13 and had already been struggling for a long time. ? There are 8 years between these photos and in that time I have weight restored and relapsed countless times. I have tormented myself mentally and physically. I told myself I was horrible and unworthy of happiness. I have hated my body. I have starved it, I have hurt it, I have left unmeasurable damage. THIS IS NOT MY LIFE ANYMORE!! After 10 years I finally decided I loved my family and friends more than my illness. I decided that I wasn’t to blame for everything that had happened. I decided that I deserved to be happy!!! So I finally let go… ? If your still struggling I am with you every step of the way. If you’ve been going through this for lifetimes and feel useless when you see others getting better, I completely understand. If you feel like your Ed is still taking care of you, I understand but I promise there are better things out there!!! If your not taken seriously because you don’t fit into the typical anorexia box, your struggles are worthy and you deserve to be helped!!! If your turned away because of you weight, skin colour or gender, FIGHT LIKE HELL!! You deserve to be heard!!! ? I’m not telling you this for sympathy or to diminish anyone’s struggles!! Everyone’s struggles are valid!! But I want you to know that it is possible!! Yes I still have bad days. I still struggle but I’m stronger now and know that I deserve to be happy! Keep going, it’s going to be the hardest thing you ever do but it’s so worth it! Fight like hell and I’ll be fighting with you!! #positivebeatsperfect

January 23rd 2016- January 23rd 2017 ? ? Firstly I want to say this is not a look how skinny I was or look how well I’ve done post. This is to hopefully show you that no matter how lost you are in your own head, it is possible to escape! It is possible to find happiness again!!! ? ? Secondly you do not have to be this shape, size colour or gender for your struggles to matter! You are always deserving of help if you are struggling!!! ? ? It’s a year ago today since I was sectioned under the mental health act. I was so ill I was doing everything I could think of to not take in ANYTHING. I had given up. My eating disorder had taken over and I wanted to die. So I was sectioned and forced to get better. I was put on an ng tube. I was forced to watch as the scale went up every week and I could do nothing about it. (Not that I didn’t try) I hated everyone who put me through that! I was on drugs that put me out so I wouldn’t hurt myself or anyone else. This time last year I was a mess. ? But the people I loved stayed by me. My best friends and my boyfriend came to see me all the time and my parents where there every day. They where there to remind me to try. So I did. Eventually I asked my boyfriend if it was ok if I ate, he told me I should. For the first time in my life I realised that I loved these people more than my ed. so I fought, I fought like hell!!! ? ? I’m not telling you this for sympathy or to diminish anyone’s struggles, (everyone’s struggle is valid!!! No matter how long it takes!!) I was in this for 10 years before I got out. But I want you to know that it is possible!!!!! No not all my problems have gone away. Yes I still have the thoughts. But I am strong enough now to resist! Keep going! You can get through this hell and I will be with you every step of the way!!! We can do this together!!!! ??? (I don’t want to answer any questions about weight) #positivebeatsperfect
