Brittany Burgunder struggled with anorexia for seven years – at her lowest, she weighed only 56 pounds. Fearing for her health and safety, she had to gain weight or risk death. Anyone who’s struggled with eating disorders knows that this is an exercise that’s far more crushing than any gym routine. It’s an exercise of the mind. Brittany took control of her weight issues, but wasn’t able to curb extreme weight gain – going from 56 pounds to 221 pounds at her heaviest.
Traversing from one spectrum to the other takes a massive toll on the body, so Brittany was once again faced with another battle – finding that happy, healthy middle ground. And more importantly, discovering the willpower to maintain the balance between fitness and nutrition. Brittany eventually found her footing, but the struggle wasn’t easy. Now she’s dedicating her life to helping others with similar struggles. With frightening statistics like 1/200 women in America suffering from anorexia and 1/50 battling bulimia, it’s important to share, reach out and connect with these people in your life to let them know you care. Take a look at Brittany’s story.
