Missing Out On So Much! I am 31 years old, and I have been bulimic since I was 20. I remember the first time my friend told me how she starting throwing up to lose weight. I thought that was the stupidest thing I had ever heard. I currently binge at least 1 to 3 times daily each time followed up with purging. I have never been hospitalized, however I am having complications. I have chosen to ignore so many of the signs throughout the years, because I am not sure how to stop. I don't think anybody would even believe I would have such a disorder. I am scared to tell anybody. I am not sure if I can stop, and I don't think I could deal with the disappointment that my friends and family would feel. At 32, I am currently experiencing rectal/vaginal prolaspe. My teeth are also chipping away. I have become a very moody person. When I get off work my thoughts and actions are consumed with eating. I feel like I just have to. The worst part about this is, I have a wonderful husband and three beautiful girls. None of them are aware. I know that I am missing out on so many things. I just don't know how to stop. I have so many responsibilities in my life that everything can not stop just so I can get help. How do you tell someone that being bulimic has control of your life? How is this possible?
