She even talks about that in the book, how even she defined herself by her ED alone for a long time, and working on her goals and dreams OUTSIDE of it are what finally got her out.

In 2020, I ran out of all excuses not to write a book. It had been bubbling up inside me for years, not so much as the book I wanted to write, but the one I had to because otherwise other people were just going to keep writing it for me, abbreviated and sensationalised, softened and squashed into claustrophobic little corners of newspapers and never, ever told in its full integrity, the way I lived it. It will get easier’ is probably the most offensive thing you can say to someone in the grip of pain. You are borrowing from a future that isn’t promised, a future that depends entirely on their endurance of the pain. You are taking for granted a well of strength within them that they may not possess, fast-forwarding through the ugly bits that you don’t want to watch but they must live through, nonetheless. ‘It will get easier’ is not a helpful thing to say to someone for whom only the present moment can exist, so vivid, so intense that it’s not possible to imagine a moment beyond it. The future doesn’t matter to someone enduring an unimaginable pain, so let’s not entertain that childish fantasy. All that matters is the pain that is consuming you in this moment, that you grit your teeth and try to survive it. You invalidate the pain and the damage it inflicts when you hasten to skip past it to a brighter tomorrow. Sometimes things are just unremittingly shit and the only respectful thing to do is to stand next to the person going through it and scream along with them.” EL: The minute I announced I’d gone vegan, I got a loud and enthusiastic welcome from the vegan community. It gave me incredible access to people and organizations who were extremely generous and forthcoming in sharing their experience and resources. That’s one of the best things about going vegan, the supportive spirit. The energy and passion I witnessed in all these people responding to me inspired me to pursue activism because I loved their idealism and determination to help the most vulnerable beings. I wanted to help get their message out there. VO: The idea behind Kinder Beauty is amazing! What is the curation process like for each cruelty-free beauty subscription box? Anorexic, my sister had said. The word hadn't stopped ringing in my head since she said it. When I first heard about anorexia, I never planned for it to become my thing. I didn't connect to it or dwell on it or decide to try it out for a while. All I'd known was that I was empty, unremarkable, unexceptional at everything, and that it would be hard to find love, friends, work, a place in the world at all, if I didn't find something by which to define myself – and then I'd found it.
