Mama's Poem

 

My story

I am a 41 one year old home maker. Used to be dancer. I have a problem with my eating habit's and am now feeling the consequences. I am weak all day. Can't sleep at night. I eat then feel like I have a rock in my stomach. I am recovering, I hope, from purging. I recently went to visit old friend's who know me as a size 0. I am now a size 6. I was constantly making jokes about my own weight. I purged and skipped meals the whole time.

About a year ago I was throwing up blood and had to have tests done. I am praying I can over come this. I've been this way for many year's and it is effecting my vision. I look in the mirror first thing in the morning, and check my weight.

I take vitamins out of fear. I am also on 2 heavy laxatives a day. I am trying to deal with this on a daily basis. I am scared though. I'm no skinny minny. But, at age 41, I should be over this shouldn't I?  Oh well this is my story. I know I have a problem. I get heart palpitations too. I will over come this. And yes, it is all in my head. When I eat ,I reach for my stomach to feel for any signs of bloating. I want girl's to know this is not glamorous. Purging.

My teeth are sensitive and I can tell, they are in trouble. When I first started purging I knew it was something unhealthy. It doe's not take a long time to get out of control. It start's off as a experimental type thing and then it get's personal. The brain take's over. Then you start to listen to what the mind is telling you about yourself. Then your body start's reacting. Anyway's just felt like telling you this.

Pray for me. Thanks
