她在十九岁那年遇见了玫思的爸爸，当时她正就读于曼彻斯特大学。此前她以为厌食症已经使她无法生育，她也没有想到她其实已经怀孕，直到感到肚子被踢了一下。扫描检查显示，她已经怀孕26周了。

 

Doctors urged her to eat chicken for protein and take vitamin pills to help her baby, but her stomach wasn't used to them.

医生建议她多吃鸡肉摄取蛋白质，并服用维生素药物来帮助她的孩子成长，但她的胃无法接受。

 

As a result she survived on a diet of bread and beetroot during pregnancy and put on only 7lb during that time.

因此怀孕期间她只能吃面包和甜菜，体重仅仅长了7磅。

 

Nevertheless, Maisy was born healthy, but small at 5lb 7oz, and her mother couldn't produce milk to feed her.

尽管如此，玫思出生时还是很健康，只是太轻，仅重5磅7盎司，而且她的妈妈也没有奶水喂养她。

 

After splitting with her partner, Miss Jones went on to a virtually liquid diet which took her weight down to five stone.

与爱人分手后，琼斯小姐几乎只吃流质了，这使她体重降到了5英石。

 

Now her daughter's weight has overtaken her as she enjoys cakes, chips and pizza. "It's wonderful to see her enjoying cakes", said Miss Jones, who lives in Manchester. "I've told her I have an eating disorder and she knows it's a bad thing."

现在她的女儿体重已经超过了她，因为她喜欢吃蛋糕、薯片和披萨。“看着她享用蛋糕我很高兴”，现居于曼彻斯特的琼斯小姐这样说。“我已经告诉她我有饮食失调症，她也知道这是件坏事。”

 

Earlier this year, blood tests revealed Miss Jones had dangerously low potassium levels – a condition known as hypokalemia, which causes extreme muscle weakness. She now has her potassium levels and heart rate monitored at regular check-ups.

今年早些时候，血液检测显示琼斯小姐血液中的钾水平已经低得很危险——低血钾会引起严重的肌无力。现在她一直在做定期检查，监测钾含量和心率。

 

Doctors have warned her she is at risk of a fatal heart attack if she does not put on weight.

医生已经警告她，如果她还是无法增加体重，将会有患上致命心脏病的危险。

 

"I'm terrified I won't see Maisy grow up", she said. "I'd love to eat – I can think of nothing nicer than going out for lunch with Maisy, but I can't."

“我很怕自己不能看着玫思长大”，她说，“我喜欢吃——我能想到的最美好的事情就是和玫思一起出门共进午餐，但我不能。”
