Hello! I am a 17-year-old girl. I have been greedy since I was a child and I loved to eat. I gained weight, but I was happy. When I looked in the mirror I felt good in my skin. I saw a beautiful and ambitious girl. That's how I was. I was harassed and insulted by my classmates, but I always had a smile on my face. I was gaining weight, as were my problems. One day I was visiting my teacher of Roma origin. At the entrance of the house I met two Roma boys who started insulting me. Everyone started laughing at me, so I ran away and went home. I decided to starve. That's what I did. I lost kilogram after kilogram. I was happier until one day I was so hungry that I couldn't stand it and crowded around. It was so hard that I went to vomit. That's how my illness started. So in 2 years I lost 20 kg. I vomited after meals and lost or retained weight accordingly. Some time passed and my mother caught me. The visits to psychologists, doctors, psychiatrists started ... as if nothing helped me. I started to get worse. I was ashamed to go outside, I refused to go to school. Bulimia has caused me great harm, especially on a mental basis. I stopped being confident. My "relationships" lasting a month made me feel even more horrible, ugly, disliked. I stopped seeing the good in life and still don't. Many people, including my relatives, did not take her very seriously because there were no visible signs that you were ill. I got an ulcer from the acids I put back in my mouth, I broke my teeth and my cycle. I am writing here in order to find a girl or a boy who has had or has the same disease. It would be nice to hear your stories and how you overcame this disease. Thanks to those who stayed until the end and read all this. Thanks also to those who will share their experience, be it personal or as an indirect witness. I hope, like everyone else, to feel important and significant for myself in the first place, and then for others.

I have no experience with this disease. being aware of it is a good start. find meaning in your life, or hobby - and change your life with positive energy. you have to accept your body as it is.
Start eating healthy and exercising. You don't have to be hungry to be weak. If you like sweets or other unhealthy "temptations", make 1 meal every 2 weeks, so that it is not so difficult for you. You will not achieve anything by starving for a long time and then crowding yourself, feeling sorry for yourself, etc. Sport will help you lift your spirits and start liking yourself once you start to see the change.
Darling, I understand that you have bulimia, do you remember the episode from True Stories - there was a story about a girl who is as sick as you with bulimia, but her mother and sister made fun of her for being fat. The girl in the episode was 14 at the beginning and then they gave as a bigger one - at 24. Watch the episode and think. And eat healthy to keep some weight but do not gain weight. I'm a man of 26 my story is that I was a bit like you and then I went to hospitals, I'm fat now, but at your age I was like a stick I was always mocked. I understand
