🔴 In his new book Coming Up For Air, Tom Daley reveals his private battle with an eating disorder in the build-up to London 2012.

telegraph.co.uk/health-fitness…
📊The charity Beat Eating Disorders claims that a quarter of people with eating disorders are male, but men’s traditional reticence about health issues means the true number may be higher
🗣️“I guess there is that stigma around eating disorders that problems with eating only affect women, and it’s just not the case,” insists Daley

🔴 Having to routinely stand in front of TV cameras, while sporting only a pair of trunks, left him feeling even more exposed and anxious.

“It’s not like I’ve got anywhere to hide,” he explains. “I don’t wear a T-shirt on the diving board"
Between December 2011 and July 2012, Daley lost over a stone in weight.

➡️But as London 2012 grew closer, he could no longer endure the debilitating fatigue that accompanied his disordered eating

🍲The Plymouth-born diver now takes a much more holistic view of his personal health, blending hearty family dinners and relaxing meditation alongside gym work and mood-boosting cardio
“Once you have more of an understanding about it, you’re not so worried and afraid of food,” Daley insists.

“I have actually learned to enjoy food again.”
