Eating disorders: Christmas can be ‘the perfect storm’

Christelle Lees, 32, first experienced disordered eating when she was a teenager, and for her it was about “lots of things going on around me”.

“I was bullied at school. I came from France, I was taller than everyone else, I was bigger built than everyone else and I struggled to fit in,” she said.

“When I went to university at 18 I had a lot of fad diets – a lot of disordered eating.

“I lost my grandfather, a relationship broke up – and life felt really out of control.”

That was when she started to control her food and was diagnosed with anorexia.

“I battled that for a couple of years,” she said.

“Christmas back then when I had an eating disorder was extremely difficult. Nobody in the family knew I had an eating disorder – and Christmas is food.”

Christelle sought help with adult mental health services and has been recovered for six years.
