Daniella explained: 'My parents separated when I was 12 - it was during my transition to high school from primary school - and it really affected me.
'I felt very alone and turned to food for comfort as it was my escape. I would just eat and get bigger.
'I'd be eating up to 8,000 calories in one sitting: a whole pack of biscuits, six bags of crisps, a whole chocolate bar, and ice cream. I'd eat beyond being full and then would be in agony due to eating so much.
'I stopped looking after myself. I didn't shower or wash my hair, I wore baggy clothes to hide myself and I was really unhappy, but it was a vicious cycle. I would hate myself and then feel bad and eat more.
'I stopped going to school as my mental health deteriorated and I didn't have any friends either. I had no life, and I didn't look after myself.
'I didn't know what to do, everything I watched on television would make me cry, the people looked so happy, and I wanted that. I was in a dark hole.
