Due to wanting to be out of hospital and something she could control, Beth stopped eating for 3 weeks. She ended up on a drip then an NG feeding tube to get food into her.
Beth has always had body dysmorphia since been at secondary school and would calorie count, stop eating or make herself sick.
I requested a dietician and counselling but it never came.
It is another common issue in hospital and can even be competitive as to who holds out the longest.
I would ignore the behaviour and bring food that I knew she would be tempted with.
This still happens now, sometimes as a protest or because she is unhappy with herself.
