TACKLING DEMONS

In Things you only know if... you’ve been in lockdown with an eating disorder (15 June) I could relate to most of Charli’s experiences. I too was about 12 or 13 when I started counting calories and exercising obsessively. Now 29 with a more sensible approach, I’ve also moved back in with my family for lockdown, but find old insecurities stirred up. However, considering Covid-19 and key workers risking their lives, it has felt selfindulgent to lay much importance on my eating habits, even though this keeps problems from spiralling. Thanks Charli for being so honest about your inner demons – I feel reassured by your strength. And a fantastic magazine!
