Bulimia...

I stumbled upon this web site looking up other health
problems, but after reading some stories I realized I should share mine.

I am 30 years old and I have battled bulimia since the age of 13.  It has been a long tough road, but I can honestly say I have not binged and purged in years.  The temptation is always there, but I have found ways to
cope with that.

I did go to therapy for awhile and I have been taking zoloft for years.  I don't want to tell you about my 17 year battle, I want to tell you about the EFFECTS of my 17 year DISGUSTING habit.

I had more cavities than I had teeth and no dental insurance.  Luckily, I found a dentist that traded out services and I did a commercial for him. Callused hands, a gag reflex every time I lean over, constant stomach pain,
etc. 

My problems have cost me thousands of dollars in recovery and I have caused more damage than good.  And of course, during this time I was obsessed with the way that I looked, so I tanned constantly as well.  I am
now dealing with skin cancer.

I had an endoscopy done a few weeks ago for a GI bleed.  I am having a colonoscopy done this week.

Stop the battle ladies.  Get help now.  I begged my mom for help when I was 17, and she denied that I had a problem.  I finally had my personal trainer make an appointment for me.

Bulimia is gross.  No one wants to talk about it.  I know there is such a rush seeing those chunks of food accumulate in the toilet.  I know what it is like to choose to eat Ice Cream over Doritos, because ice cream tastes the same coming up as it does going down.

As I sit here and tell you to STOP, I know it is not that easy.  It is not easy at all.  BUT it can be done.  Get help, people love you and you deserve to be happy.
