Sweet Strength

Developed an eating disorder at the age of 10, but I was already weight-obsessed by age 5. I did not care that I was a growing, developing child and that it was healthy and necessary to gain weight,” Heather Purdin confesses.

Believing it was a clash between genetic markers and chemical imbalances within her brain, Purdin says her mind, as a result, triggers an obsessive mode quickly and easily. Weight was something her psyche attached to, even as a little girl.

“I was never going to allow myself to become fat,” she admits. “This was not out of simple vanity, but out of fear for being treated poorly. I am a super sensitive soul. I had a lot of anxieties and fears from a young age. So much of life is out of our control, but food and weight were [aspects] I could do something about.”

Sadly the solutions Purdin thought she was pursuing to keep herself from ridicule were destroying her body altogether. The physical and, even more so, mental crimes against her health forced her to make a decision to take back true control of her life. “I have been caught in a devastating cycle of depression, anxiety, and disordered eating for 20 years now,” she says. Purdin is of a small percentage of patients whose bodies resist treatment—that is, they do not respond well to traditional approaches—yet through all this time, she has not quit. Instead, she tries anything to free herself from her eating disorder. In recent years she’s seen success with mind-body practices such as yoga and other alternative therapies.
