Andover woman’s journey from anorexia to bodybuilder – BBC News

June 7, 2017 by Musclebuilderman

A woman has shared her experience of overcoming a long battle with anorexia and winning a bodybuilding championship. From the age of 16, Nicola King had anorexia and for more than two years was in and out of hospital – at times close to death. Now the 24-year-old from Andover has won a bodybuilding championship, after the journey to get her strength back inspired her to take up the sport.

Key Takeaways:

  • From the age of 16, Nicola King had anorexia and for more than two years was in and out of hospital – at times close to death.
  • In 2013, still extremely ill, Nicola boarded a flight to Mexico and spent three months on her own, gradually starting to eat again
  • “If I can show people that I can do it then hopefully people can see that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Anorexia brings you nothing but death.”

“Miss King has won the 2017 Pure Elite UK championship and said she was an “emotional wreck” after hearing her named called as the winner.”
