Eva's journey started when she decided to go on a diet after she graduated from university, and started to implement a rather intense exercise regime. She loved the feeling of losing weight quickly, and it was the first time anyone had ever referred to her as skinny. She felt the validation she needed in her life. She became obsessed with counting calories and intermittent fasting, and she soon started to notice the costs of this behaviour. Food and exercise seemed the only thing she could control in her life. She made major breakthroughs in her therapy, and today Eva is kindly sharing her story.

Anna Boniface is a long-distance runner, with one international cap for England in 2017. She gradually developed anorexia when she was around 15 years old, which correlated with starting running competitively. She quickly lost her period and became quite withdrawn in her first year of a-levels. She started to attach her running performance to her weight and how many miles she ran, which came from observations and culture she had learnt throughout her years in sport. She suffered with RED- Syndrome and osteopenia. In this episode we speak about her on going journey of recovery.
