Hi there,
I want to share my bulimic experince .It was terrible time of my life.
I really regret that it happened to me and thank God it is over now.
I had a history of anorexia,I won't eat and I used to be so skinny.
It started because I wanted to mentain my figure due to my modelling career.When I got married,I started eating normally and I put on so much weight,also because I had a good appetite,I ate more than I supposed to eat and love the sweets.
I became sad and lost my confidence.I felt that my husband doesn't want me because I'm fat.So,I started to eat so much,upto 2-3 thousand calories and throw up ,did it during the day when he is working and at night when he goes to bed.I also exercise daily for 2 hours and took slimming pills and abused laxative.
It went on for 8 months,on and off with my beinging-purging ,but there are times that I would beinge and throw up twice everyday.Sometimes,3 times a week.
It depends on my mood with food or if I have some kind of cravings.
It was so hard and I felt down,depressed and sad all the time.I also hate it when I wasted so much money to buy food and just throw it all up.
I hated myself for not being deciplined and I fought for it every single day.I promised myself evrytime I trhow up that it will be the last time,but the cycle went on and on..
Untill one day,I was so tired and felt grossed about my bad habbit.I decided to change.I did it and I am so proud of myself!
Now,I am feeling happy all the time,save more money ,instead of buying food,I will buy clothes and shoes..
I am over with my bulimia experience.I eat healthy food,eat what I want but in small portions.I also excercise twice a week and joined yoga.
Untill now,none of my family know about my nasty past and not even my hubby.
I have moved on and started a healthy ,happier life now..I hope you're friend will help herself to get out from this disease,it will all depend to her.
She needs someone to be there for her,I hope you can help her by talking to her and finding out why did she do it?
Maybe she has deeper problem that leads to emotional eating.
I hope my experience help you and your friend understanding what is it like to be a bulimic.
Take CAre.
