First of all, let me start off by saying, I was not bulimic but I almost was. If you are thinking about it, PLEASE, PLEASE read this story first.

When I was in my early teens I was diagnosed as a diabetic. I was really skinny, but after treatment began, I started gaining weight.

I was 17 when I became very depressed. I thought I was fat and worthless. I started dieting, but when my blood sugar dropped I would become ravenously hungry, so I would eat.

One day I felt awful after eating, so I got on the internet and found out how to purge. It came easy, I did it for a week, and I lost weight, but my throat was burning, I had a constant stomach ache, and my teeth even hurt. I was even more depressed then ever.

I got online and looked up the effect of bulimia, I was in shock. I saw pictures of girls with the disorder, and pictures of ones who had died. I read the heartbreaking stories of girls who no longer had a sister, and moms who no longer had daughters. I realized once you got into it, there was no turning back.

Eventually purging would become involuntary, and your body would receive nutrition. After one week, I felt lifeless. I would look at my family and know that I would hurt them too.

I logged onto sparkpeople.com, I began doing it the right way, the way I would feel proud about, and I wasn't going to wind up in a hearse, going to where I would be buried. WHY KILL YOURSELF WHEN YOU CAN DO IT RIGHT. Yeah, at first it's harder, BUT IT IS SO WORTH IT! I'm down 15 pounds, and I'm happy.
