When you have an eating disorder, you don't see what other people are seeing, you see that you're not perfect. My mom helped me to realize I was all skin and bones. She thought I was going to my deathbed. It was my mom and friends who helped me turn it around.
Lucena credits running with aiding her recovery. Participating in a sport, she believes, helped her realize the beauty of a strong and healthy body. Lucenas successful recovery from anorexia has given her a new enthusiasm for lifes simple pleasures, and, most importantly, helped her find self-acceptance.
