Dalila Brancaccio, a mother from Italy, began losing weight and withdrawing from social activities due to anorexia nervosa. She refused to eat with her family and avoided meals with them. By January 2018, Rita persuaded Dalila to visit a public centre for eating disorders, where she was diagnosed with the illness. The centre placed Dalila on a strict meal plan and gave her regular appointments. The family's days were consumed by organising meals, buying food Dalila would eat, avoiding food she still wouldn't, and scheduling medical visits.
