For some, the Easter holiday can be nothing short of a nightmare.
Australian nutritionist and anorexia survivor Lexi Crouch, 32, has revealed Easter is the worst time of year for people suffering with eating disorders. Easter is a three-day eating holiday. It is full on for people with an eating disorder, she told Daily Mail Australia. Going into the supermarket or to a big family even can feel like heading to the battlefield.
