AT Kaitlyn Davidson’s lowest point, she weighed less than 37kg, her body ached all the time and her hair was falling out.
The 24-year-old’s love of health and fitness had turned into an illness, and she didn’t know how to turn back the clock.
“There’s a fine line between fitness and obsession, and I didn’t realise I’d crossed that line until it was too late,” she told news.com.au.
“I had two minds, I had my eating disorder mind and my rational mind. I always had to push harder, be better. The better I got, the higher standards I’d set myself. I had to do my usual routine at the gym and if I missed something, I’d punish myself.
“I was in constant pain. My skin was yellow because of my circulation, my teeth were degrading and my hair was thinning, it was disgusting.
“Walking was a struggle. When I sat down I could feel my tailbone.
“I could physically feel my heart beating. My heart rate was extremely low, the doctors told me it was going to stop. They said my body had no more signs to give.”
