How Mom Saved Her Anorexic Daughter's Life


Ruth Jenkinson stopped eating well after her GP blamed her weight. This happened when she was 13 and her weight was 10st. Look what her diet did to her after the jump, and find out how Ruth’s mother has saved her daughter’s life.



This is how Ruth Jankinson looked like before her diet.


Ruth was skipping her meals, and in just 18 months her weight dropped down to a life-threatening 4st 13lb.

Doctors warned Ruth that her organs could fail at any time, but she still refused to eat. Her mom begged her to start eating, but Ruth would just shout at her that she didn’t have to follow a meal plan. This was when Mrs Jenkinson got an idea how she could save her daughter’s life.


Mrs Jenkinson, 44, who works for a construction company, was 12st 7lb. She decided to join Slimming World to follow a meal plan to lose weight so that her daughter would follow her own meal plan to gain weight.


The mother carried on dieting to keep her promise, and slowly her daughter started to put on weight.
