It all started after I had my daughter. I was only 17 at the time. First, it was a once-a-day thing and then it turned into a everyday thing. I purge up to 10 times a day, this went on for 3 years. Then, 6 months ago I stopped working. I dropped to my lowest weight and I felt great. But unknown to me, I was killing myself from the inside. Not long after that, I started binge eating. I would eat until I was so sick that I purged automatically. This is an ongoing thing, which has seemed to take over my life. I CAN NOT control it and I can't make it stop. My partner has been with me through this and has encouraged me to seek help, although I know he cares he j still doesn't understand! I am seeing a counselor and dietician now, but nothing has seemed to change. I have resorted to an in-patient program at a hospital. I will start the program in a couple of months! I just pray to GOD that this works, because I don't know how much longer I can do this or how much longer my body can take it. rachael xxxx Share your story	Sign up for our Email Newsletter For Email Marketing you can trust
