👩⚕️ Wait, so what is bulimia? (boo-lee-me-uh) In English, it’s fucking up your diet because of body-shame.
📽 In a 1995 interview with BBC Panorama, Diana opens up: “I had bulimia for a number of years. And that’s like a secret disease. You inflict it upon yourself because your self-esteem is at a low ebb, and you don’t think you’re worthy or valuable.”
👑 Diana Spencer has indirectly helped females suffering from bulimia to seek out help, according to NEDA @neda . In 1992 the awareness was raised so high that the phenomenon was even dubbed the “Diana effect.”
💍 You’re free to look up how princess Diana overcame her struggles in the palace. She was stranded, cheated on, and incredibly lonely. I can’t even imagine how much stress was on her during the royal wedding where everyone was watching.
💃 She never backed down despite the challenge and sufferings. Whether it’s the iconic black dress appearance or shaking hands with AIDS patients, exploring landmine issues, she stood her ground and truly made her legacy matter to a greater scale than a princess. Even to this day.
