GLOBAL CRAZY! Anorexic Mom Weighs Less Than Her Daughter (PHOTOS)

Posted November 8, 2011 by Amir Rowe for Global Grind Staff

Rebecca Jones, a 26-year-old mother from the UK, is suffering from a severe case of anorexia.

The anorexia is so bad that she weighs less than her 7-year-old daughter Maisy, who she is also 8 inches taller than.

Rebecca's refusal to eat wholesome foods is preventing her from getting the nutrients necessary for her body to maintain itself. The disease has only allowed her to eat toast, energy drinks and soup according to Daily Mirror.

Just nine months ago Rebecca was rushed to the hospital. Doctors said she had dangerously low potassium levels and an extremely high pulse which caused part of her heart to die. Rebecca said:

“When the doctor said my anorexia had caused part of my heart to die, I was petrified.”

The situation is even more troublesome for her daughter who will be motherless if nothing is done to stop the disease. Rebecca reflected on possibly missing out on her daughter growing up saying:

“I’m terrified I won’t see Maisy grow up. I’d love to eat. I can think of nothing nicer than going out for lunch with Maisy but I can’t.”

Despite her fear of death due to anorexia, Rebecca is content with her size saying:

“Wearing the same clothes as Maisy gives me a sense of pride. It’s wrong, but it makes me feel good. I don’t think I’m thin – I always see myself as bigger.”

Rebecca has stated childhood bullying to be the cause of her anorexia. If not for herself, Rebecca must take control of the disease for her daughter Maisy.
