Bulimia

(Michigan )

I have bulimia and I am a 14 year old. I have a lot of years left and this may not sound bad, but I still feel like I have a problem.

I went from vomiting 1 time a week to once every two days and now I purge daily. I am so sad and moody all the time. Looking at my weight and seeing that all my friends are skinnier than me -- and prettier.

I just want to be like them, wear shorts and look in the mirror and feel good. It's sad. I know there are consequences to this behavior, but I only think of one thing -- what the scale says.

The experts say they know best, but I believe it's different for each person. Everyone has there reasons, and this is mine.

I am just a freshman in high school and the only thing stopping me from vomiting more than once a day is the fact that I don't eat breakfast. I eat lunch, but I can't purge it (bad breath at school), so I can only do it once a day.

I want to do it more, but right now there are limited times and ways for me to do this. When I find more ways, it will just get worse.

My story may not be the most life-changing in any one else's mind, but I am here telling the beginning of the story how, when, and why it starts - the early signs of bulimia

I guess it's just easier for someone to say they have a problem to a computer rather than a real person, but this will do for now.

Thanks for listening!
