Bulimia, my bulimia story

Talked With My Teacher

Hi, I'm 15 years old. Wow! this is weird that I am sharing my story on the internet, and I can't even talk with one of my best friends about this.

Anyway's, I first threw up the summer before tenth grade. I remember hearing that one of my friends threw up and so I figured I would try it. I didn't think it was wrong to lose weight.

Whenever I would go out to eat with my friends all they would talk about was their weight! I couldn't handle it, even though I was thin, I always felt like I wasn't thin enough. I always felt that way when I was around all of my friends. I felt that I was the largest. I would hate to go out to eat with them because I would just leave right after and throw up.

Now, this is tenth grade. I stopped for a while but I am still doing it. Don't fool yourself when you hear that you are average weight.That's just a number, inside you are unhealthy because you are throwing up. People need to realize you don't need to be underweight to have an eating disorder. I am 125 lbs and its just gross but that's how I see myself.

One day, I talked with a teacher about everything that was going on with me, and she helped me get through the day. The next day I talked with another teacher. These two teachers are my support, along with my family. I talked with a guidance counselor about what has happened and how I am still puking. Suddenly, they called my mom and my mom's heart was racing.

Everything happened so fast, and my parents found out that all year long I had been throwing up from time to time, and it's still a problem.

Even though you may do it once in a while, it is still a problem. You should talk to a professional about it. I am struggling with an eating disorder now and it's the hardest thing ever. Harder than Math B, which is very difficult to me.

I need to just get pass the days without throwing up. I never in a million years thought I was going to be bulimic. But, I know, I will make it through and so can everyone else. Be strong!
