26.2 When I was 17, I was hospitlaized due to anemia. I was in denial then, but I’ll admit now it was due to an eating disorder. I was called “fat” and I wanted to be “skinny and healthy.” I remember doctors teling me that they have seen people die with low iron levels higher than mine. It was all due to not eating meat & only eating fruit because food was “bad for me”. WRONG. I just didn’t know the right way to eat nor exercise. I promised myself in the hospital I would never let this happen to anyone else and make sure mental and phsycial health is always taken care of!
