British artiste Anne Marie opens about her life long struggle with eating disorder in her new book, You Deserve Better, which aims to help readers on a journey towards self care.

Anne-Marie said that she would only eat cheese sandwiches and chips when she was younger due to her fear of vomitting. Her weight started to get affected when she was 16. "I stopped eating properly. I got really skinny – unhealthily so," she wrote.
