My heart is made of porcelain and my mind is set in stone. Food is my medicine. -Kadi, anorexia and diabulimia survivor

At 12 years old, two things happened that changed Kadi’s life forever - a diabetes diagnosis, and an increasing self-awareness of body image. For the next two years, it was anorexia that dominated her quest to achieve the ideal body shape, but at 14, she began to deliberately give herself less insulin than she needed in order to lose even more weight. In high school, she started to skip the needles altogether.

Hear about Kadi’s battle in her own words, and find out her journey to overcome such a devastating illness.
