Description  

For four years, Hope Virgo fought a gruelling internal battle, keeping her anorexia hidden from friends and family. Having pushed her health to breaking point, and with her skin turning yellow and her heart failing, it became impossible to hide. Barely recognisable, Hope was admitted to a mental health hospital in 2007.

Twelve years on, Hope has been in recovery from anorexia for over a decade. But it hasn't always been an easy ride, and after a relapse in 2016 where she was refused help for 'not being thin enough', she knew she needed to raise awareness about the disease that almost took her life. 

And so, in August 2018, Hope launched the #DumpTheScales campaign, which calls on the government to review their guidance on support for eating disorders. Since then, with relentless campaigning, her petition has gained over 70,000 signatures and counting.

'This honest account of Hope's struggle with anorexia is both insightful and an inspirational story of recovery. This is a must-read book.' - Dame Kelly Holmes
