"I wanted to stay skinny just to be accepted by everyone. I had gained so many friends when I lost weight during my swimming and everyone complimented me. I thought, if I quit swimming I am going to have to keep that low weight so that people would still want to be my friends, because if I gain weight no one would want to be my friend anymore."

Elle said: "My life has changed since my recovery. Now I'm social, I go out with friends and I don't isolate myself. "
