Re-learn All Over Again

I've been Bulimic for 5 years. I binge, I purge, I crawl into corners of my life and try to hide from the world.

At first I lost weight, of course, but that didn't last. The weight came back and the depression set in. My weight has fluctuated by about 10 kgs in the last year alone.

What have I gained from my eating disorder? About 9 kgs of body fat, low self esteem, dry hair, brittle fingernails,
puffy cheeks, swollen ankles and depression.

What have I lost from my eating disorder? All my friends, all my dreams and hopes. All the joys I once experienced. My confidence, my ability to form relationships, my future... my life.

I'm in counseling now and its slow, daunting and painful. Trust me and eat healthy, exercise, love yourself and believe in your future. It's the hardest thing to have to re-learn what to do all over again.
