The girl who became a meme after pictures emerged of her bum has revealed how she turned her life around to get the body she has.

Abby Pollock 23, from Toronto, Canada, suffered with eating disorders for years, at one stage being 20 pounds underweight. She would eat under 1000 calories a day, covering up the harsh reality with a phoney raw vegan diet excuse.

In a Cosmopolitan interview, she said: "I told myself I was following these diets for ethical reasons, when really I was using them as a means to further restrict and cover up my disordered habits."

After seeking proper treatment, Abby got back on track, physically and mentally.

With the help of professional nutritionists, who increased her diet to 2000 calories a day and enrolled her at the gym. Abby started documenting her fight back against bulimia and earned herself some internet fame.


Abby has cut down on cardio, choosing instead to spend her workout time weighlifting. Her Instagram serves as an inspiration for other people who have suffered eating disorders and are looking to learn to enjoy life once again.
