Ellie Makin, from Manchester, England, says that healthy diets and exercise plans have helped her beat her life-threatening eating disorders after she weighed a mere 77 pounds (35 kg) at her lowest.
The 17-year-old would spend hours on the running machine each week in a bid to “stay thin.” But after suffering a stroke due to her declined health and skeletal frame over a year ago, Ellie says she was shocked into wanting to recover.
