At the age of 23, she weighed 75 pounds. It's unbelievable how she looks now
Jordan was a 23-year-old who suffered from an eating disorder - she weighed 75 pounds. The woman participated in Dr. Phil's program, where she confessed that she was doing this to become the "best anorexic in the world"...
In the popular American show "Dr. Phil", a 23-year-old woman suffering from an eating disorder participated. Jordan weighed 75 pounds and exclusively ate a cup of cereal with a tablespoon of yogurt every day, although she would sometimes not eat anything for a full day. She also avoided using any body lotions, fearing that they might contain calories.
Jordan had been repeatedly warned by doctors, who tried to explain to her that she had an enlarged heart and could die at any moment. Nevertheless, the 23-year-old still wanted to lose weight. Until recently, her unhealthy goal was to weigh 75 pounds. However, the moment she achieved this, she longed to weigh even less...
I want to weigh about 66 pounds, but I don't want to die either. That's why I can't have the best of both worlds - she said on the show.
The woman confessed that to a large extent she "did it for the show", as she derived satisfaction from how people reacted to her emaciated body. Additionally, she admitted that she wanted to be the most drastic example of a person suffering from anorexia.
I'm partly doing this for the show. I'll show how disciplined I can be and prove that I'm one of the best anorexics in the world - she commented.
In the "Dr. Phil" program, the mother of Jordan also participated, who on multiple occasions sent her daughter to therapy. Eventually, she gave up forcing her daughter to undergo treatment, which resulted from her helplessness and resistance from the 23-year-old. Jordan revealed that her desire to achieve an ever-lower weight was also motivated by her mother's passive attitude.
My anorexia is sort of a spite towards my mother, who points out to me that for 10 years I have been unable to overcome my disease - she concluded.
After struggling with anorexia for several years, Jordan has overcome her eating disorder. She now has a very good relationship with her mother. She also found the love of her life and gave birth to twins: Khloe and Scotlyn.
