The diagnosis came back as malnutrition from anorexia. The eating disorder took over, and I almost died. But my story didn’t start in the hospital. It began at the impressionable age of 9. I knew I had to lose weight. All the bullies told me so.
Year-after-year my obsession with losing weight consumed me. In 2014, I lost half my body weight in six months.
The hospitalization was the first time my fear of death overcome my fear of weight gain.
For the next five years, I attended recovery meetings for eating disorders. The work was hard, and yet I remained confused. A ball of emotions swirled inside me, and even though the sessions were good, I felt I was missing something. My mental health still suffered.
Today, I am using my skills as a successful freelance artist and the knowledge of eating disorder recovery to help others going through what I did.
I’ve created a recovery journal called: Dawn: Your guided workbook and journal for eating disorder recovery.
Who Am I? I am nineteen-year-old Eleanor Loseby, an anorexia survivor.

Together, let’s educate and help others with anorexia survive and thrive.
