June Alexander

The younger of two daughters, June Alexander grew up with a seemingly idyllic childhood on a dairy farm in south-east Australia. She is her dad's shadow, helping him on the farm and exploring the outdoors. Eleven is a memorable age for June, it is the year she developed an obsession with food and her weight. A lifetime of self-doubt and deception followed as she lived with anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa - the illness which went undiagnosed for 21 years. As she developed a successful career in journalism she desperately clings to it as her only identity.
