Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I te 18 o ona tau, ko te āwangawanga nui rawa atu a Christie Swadling, ko tana whānuitanga kaupapa i te whare wānanga. Engari kei te whawhai tonu ia ki tētahi mate kai, ā, kei te whakatenatena i tētahi kai hauora ki ētahi atu rangatahi e mate ana. 'Ko nga panui Photoshop o nga tauira penei i a Miranda Kerr i tiimata mai i aku raru ahua tinana na te mea e whakaaro ana koe ko te ahua o to ahua,' i kii a Christie ki a Daily Mail Ahitereiria. 'Kua ngoikore ake ahau i aua tauira, ā, nā te mate, ka mutu te whakaaro ki ngā tauira, ā, ka tino hiahia ahau ki te ngaro atu i te taumaha.' Kua neke atu i te 630,000 nga tirohanga a te kaiwhakangungu pāpāho pāpori ki tana riipene ataata 'Anorexia Nervosa tata ana ki te patu i ahau' i runga i YouTube, neke atu i te 8,000 nga akonga i runga i Instagram, e whakaatu ana i tana haerenga uaua mai i te anorexia ki te whiwhi taumaha ka huri i tana hononga ki te kai. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. I heke te taumaha o Christie ki te 31 kirokaramu noa iho i mua i tana urunga ki te hōhipera, kātahi ka tīmata te taumaha. I a ia e tamariki ana, i whakawakia a Christie mo te 'pounamu' me te kii atu ki a ia 'ki te hoki ki Maccas' Kei te hiahia a Christie ki te korero i tana korero ki etahi atu kia akiaki ai ratou ki te whakapai ake i to raatau oranga. I hinga ia nā te kore kai i tōna rā whānau tekau mā whitu, ā, i haere haere ia ki roto, ki waho o te hōhipera. I tiimata te pakanga a Christie i te kura tuatahi i te wa i whakawakia ia mo te 'pounamu' na tana kai kino. 'Kāre tōku whānau i whai kai hauora, ko au tonu te tamaiti e hae ana te katoa nā te mea he tiakarete, he rīpene, he McDonald's ōku,' ko tana kī. 'I puhipuhi ahau i te wā e tamariki ana, ā, he nui ake i aku hoa katoa.' Ko te taiohi mai i East Gosford, New South Wales, tata ki te haora me te hawhe ki te raki o Sydney, i tawai mo tona taumaha, ka karanga i nga ingoa penei i te 'piki' a ka korerotia tonutia e nga kaiwhiu o te kura tuarua kia 'hoki ki Maccas.' I tēnei wā ka tīmata a Christie ki te mahi. Kāore he pūngao i a ia, ā, he pātahitanga kino ki te kai, ā, kāore anō hoki ia kia ara ake i te moenga. Kei te whakaahuahia a Christie i konei (ki te taha maui) i tetahi o ona waahi tino ngoikore engari kei runga ia inaianei...
Kei te tohe a Christie Swadling i tētahi momo oranga hauora ki ōna whaiwhai 8000. Kua roa te pakeke o te 18 tau e whawhai ana ki te mate kai. I tīmata te mate i tana whakataurite i a ia ki te Miranda Kerr ngoikore. I kite ia i a ia e ngaro ana i te 13 kirokaramu me te kai iti iho i te 300 kcal ia ra. Inaianei kei te pai ake, ko te tumanako a te taiohi o NSW ki te awhina i etahi atu ki te whawhai ano. 'He maha nga kotiro taiohi i korero mai ki ahau kei te whakaora ahau i o raatau oranga,' e kii ana ia.
