I started when I was 16 or 17- once or twice.. I felt bad about it, and the idea of wasting food. .. I didnt do it again until my 20's. The sad thing is that i was so skinny back then, like 5'10" and 130 pounds.. if i thought i was getting fat i would feel bad. Now, in my early twenties i did gain about 20 pouinds, still not fat perse, but not the same body i had and am not dealing well with having any extra body fat.

I started throwing up after i ate about 2.5 years ago- i would do it to control my weight, or feel like i was.

i stopped for a few months... didnt care anymore.. but of course started again... im on a cycle right now. for a while i would puke because i hated myself. even if there wasnt hardly anything in my stomach i would puke everyday when i came home from work becasue i was so depressed it was like i was hurting myself and it felt good.

now, i binge and puke,,, and dont feel like i am doing it to hurt myself.. its all so strange. right now i feel like i didnt puke up enough of my lunch and am worried about it... but it is hard to puke at work.

I still am bulimic and i bacially started because i was depressed with my life and my body. I felt i had no control over anything else and even though ive tried like every diet there is and i barely eat i still feel fat. Now its to the point if i eat and dont get sick it hurts and i feel terrible mentally i cant stop. I hope most people are smarter than me and chooses not to try this!!!

I saw a movie on it called A Secret Between Friends on NBC when I was in 5th grade. I didn't care that the girls in the movie were terribly sick, all I noticed was they got skinny by throwing up, and so it began. For me, it was a bag of oreos and sitting in my bedroom floor throwing up quietly into a towel. I've gotten help after 11 tough years of it.
