SHOCKING photos of Hannah Koestler, 22, days away from death after weighing just five stone and having a BMI of 11. A normal or healthy BMI (Body mass index) is said to be from 18 to 25. However Hannah’s BMI was 11 which was way below the accepted BMI.

In November 2011, at age 17, Hannah was diagnosed with Anorexia nervosa. She stated that at a point in her life, she was feeding on just 3 rice cakes a day and wore a dress size of a 10 year old girl. She even suffered from organ failure and hair loss because of her eating disorder.

‘I know that the pictures are graphic, but they’re my journey and we shouldn’t shy away from the truth’ she said ‘Anorexia is a cruel illness that ravishes the body and mind. I hope that my pictures will deter other people from developing eating disorders and inspire those in its grips to get help. Looking at old pictures always brings back all the memories of what happened to me, but I’ve never been happier than I am now and I want people to know that.’

Strange illness.

For me anorexia is more of an illness of the mind trying to control the body with an ideal way to look and be accepted by society(for personal reasons or trying to look like an ideal model).

Smh. Amala and goat meat with ewedu will restore your lost senses and body

I agree, it's got to do with self consciousness, trying to look in a way that deems right in the society.

God will save us sha.
