Yesterday, we reported on a 15-year-old girl weighing 40 kilograms who could eat 8 kilograms of food in one meal alone. As a result, she has been blacklisted by many all-you-can-eat restaurants. The girl explained that she previously suffered from anorexia due to excessive dieting, which later developed into binge eating disorder. Her father even sold a house to cover her food expenses. Now, the girl has taken a year off from school to focus on recovering from her illness.
Still unable to control her urge to eat, the girl with an enormous appetite reappeared at an all-you-can-eat restaurant. "Eating is like a way to vent," she said. When asked if it was to relieve stress, she simply replied, "Mhm." Though she eats slowly, she consumes a lot—a whole pot of lamb hotpot was nearly finished within an hour. Surprisingly, her figure remains extremely slender, with wrists and arms so thin they seem like nothing but bones. Her massive appetite has shocked many buffet restaurant owners. Some claimed she would induce vomiting midway through meals to keep eating, but the girl denied this.
"The only thing they got wrong is saying I make myself vomit. I don’t. I vomit because of my anorexia and binge eating disorder. I think the problem lies mostly with me," she said.
Though only 15, her thoughts seem mature beyond her years. Aware of her health issues, she took a year off from school to focus on recovery. During treatment, she channeled her emotions into painting. Her artworks, bold and contrasting in color, feature distinctive outlines—almost as if she’s painting herself. One piece shows a girl saying, "Don’t diet," as if the girl is using her art to remind herself.
In real life, she revealed that her father sold a house to afford her food expenses and has been supporting her throughout. Now, she only hopes to recover soon so that neither she nor her family will be troubled by the issue of "eating" anymore.
