Margherita Barbieri is only 18 years old, but she has already experienced many ups and downs in her short life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now a resident of the city of Reading, England, she has decided to share her story with some intimate photos – in the hope that she will help others who are in a similar situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When she was young, Margherita dreamed of becoming a ballet dancer. Life was good. She was beautiful, she had a lot of friends and she was very popular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But unfortunately, Margherita’s dance teacher was very tough, telling her she was too big to be a ballet dancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The teacher even mentioned Margherita’s thighs – on which she said they were ‘thunder thighs’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The teacher’s comments seeped deep into the girl who aspired to be a professional dancer, until she decided to start a murderous diet in order to lose weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Margherita did not intend to let her body stand in the way of her dreams, so she reduced her daily calorie intake to only 140 calories a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There were days when Margherita did not eat anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“My weight was just fine, but I did not understand it back then, I was determined to be a better dancer so I started practicing too much without eating anything. It made me hate my body, the body I once loved, the body I was once proud of, but instead – I fought against my appearance”, Margherita told the Daily Mail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The murderous starvation had consequences and Margherita was down from 55 kg of weight, to 25 kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For years Margherita struggled with her anorexia, but eventually she managed to break the vicious circle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When she finally found the psychic powers to change her diet, Margherita felt healthier and more beautiful. And self-confidence returned to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At the beginning of the recovery process Margherita made a list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She wrote foods with more than 200 calories she was afraid to eat, like butter and chocolate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eventually, Margherita started incorporating them into her menu and now she is back to her original weight of 55kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Margherita gave up her ballet career – and replaced it with a new passion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Margherita plans to be a dancer in musicals – in which she could be herself in an industry that does not place so much emphasis on body weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She is also very open about her story and uploads before and after photos on her Instagram page to inspire others who are in the same situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“My advice to everyone is to learn to love your body and yourself, develop a good relationship with food, do not let anyone depress you. I think we all need to fight to find a cure for anorexia, it is a powerful disease that can be life threatening, I am lucky I chose to recover”, Margherita said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We think it’s very brave of Margherita to talk openly about the way she went and how she fought the disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We hope Margherita inspires other girls who need help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
