This is how the Anorexia Speak worked in my head:
'Boys like girls with curves on them'- If you ever eat anything you will be mauled by thuggish boys with giant paws for hands.
'Don't you get hungry'- You are so strong and special,and I envy your strength and specialness.
'Have you tried swimming I find that really improves my appetite'- You need to do more exercise.
In this astonishing and brave account of life with anorexia Hadley Freeman starts with the trigger that sparked her illness and moves through four hospitalisations,offering extraordinary insight into her various struggles.
