“My BMI was not low enough to get help” – BBC News

As a teenager, Victoria Spence says she fell into a “dark, deep hole” around her body image. This caused him an eating disorder. But when she tried to seek help, Victoria was told that the Body Mass Index (BMI) was not enough for treatment. BMI is used to measure someone’s “healthy” weight, based on adult weight and height. Victoria is calling for the measure to be canceled. The UK government says NHS England does not support the use of “GMI thresholds”.
