UPDATED FEB 7, 2019

A nursing student who struggled with anorexia for the majority of her life has now revealed that at one point in time, she was so afraid of putting on weight that she stopped drinking water. When she was at her lowest point in life, 20-year-old Emily Green from Colorado was taken by authorities from her university to a medical center from where she snuck away and even hid her meals while in treatment later.

Green showed signs of an eating disorder for most of her childhood but was only diagnosed with anorexia nervosa when she was 16 years old. She spent a lot of her school life in hospitals and treatment centers, Daily Mail reported.
