Today marks the start of Eating Disorders Awareness Week and we’re speaking to Hope Virgo.
Hope is a mental health campaigner, public speaker and author of “Stand Tall Little Girl: facing up to anorexia”. Following abuse as a child, food became a mechanism to cope with her feelings. At 12, Hope was diagnosed with an eating disorder and eventually was hospitalised for a year of intensive recovery. Lockdown has been an eye-opening experience for her, and many others facing mental health struggles. Every day is a challenge on the road to recovery, but Hope is confident and has the drive to achieve happiness.
