Bridget Malcolm says she can't exercise for long because she's focused on "maintaining her weight and relearning how to eat." which she never thought possible.

Over the past four years, the 30-year-old former Victoria's Secret model has been exposed to the body awkwardness she experiences in the industry and how it has led to a severe eating disorder that has delayed her treatment. 

"This week, I did my first pull-up - something I never dreamed of five years ago," she told Instagram Thursday. "Since I started recovering, I wanted to feel strong, but it took time to end the years of self-rape. So I needed to give my body time to level up." Malcolm explained that he wanted to start exercising earlier, but it was not safe for someone with a long history of physical impairment.

"Recovery, done right, is a slow process that takes a lifetime," he said. "I spent a few years at a pace I had to get used to. I can't take action. All I can preoccupation on is keeping my weight off and learning how to eat again." Malcolm admits the process was uncomfortable, but he "learned to embrace my new body and the eating process."

"That's when I started writing about my recovery and connecting with other people who knew how I was feeling," she says. "Which prepared me for the full acceptance I live today. I don't care if I gain or lose weight. What interests me is what I can afford. Now I can live a fulfilling life."

Indigenous Australians attached three photos to the publication. The first of him on Thursday, the first time "can be recruited," the second in a year after his recovery, "physically and mentally still very weak, want to be strong but can not train properly fear of relapse and ongoing musculoskeletal injuries ." The last one is "sickest."
