How long have you had an eating disorder?
Ever since I can remember. I was hospitalized when I was 6 for not eating (which resulted in being force fed whipped cream every day until I gained weight), then I started eating so much at birthday parties my body would literally throw it up itself, I taken to the hospital by my high school counselor when I was 15 for bulimia and it’s just spiraled from there on.
Do your parents know?
Sort of. My dad rejected treatment for my bulimia due to the cost (when I was 15) but he thought it stopped after that summer. My mom wasn’t really in my life for the past 8 years but now that I live with her she hasn’t noticed. She’s too busy fighting her own weight battle.
Do any of your friends know?
Yeah. I trusted my best friend at the time with it, but she told a bunch of our mutual friends who found out about my xanga site and read all my personal details. One of the girls told a teacher who spread it further and after confronting me about it, I was driven to the hospital to be admitted.

I have my good and bad days. Some days I overeat.. Some days I don’t eat at all. I try to keep it at 1000 cals.

How did you lose weight when you first developed your eating disorder?
I eventually just stopped eating. The only thing I ever had for breakfast was tea. I had a 2 inch sub (split a 6 inch 3 ways) for lunch with a piece of ham and cucumber and diet coke, something small for dinner which I threw up and didn’t eat for the rest of the day. I always stayed up until 3am blogging or playing games and never noticed if I was hungry. I literally did 500 sit ups a day while watching TV (50 during each commercial break) and walked A LOT.
How much weight did you lose?
I lost 21 pounds in a a few months.
How did you gain weight again after that?
My bulimia never went away.. I decided to never eat McDonald’s again after a bet. Instead I ate Taco Bell every night and though I threw up it added up. I was too tired to workout since I went to school all day then worked until 10pm. I had a serious bf and we’d always go out and eat together. I’d eat all my feelings. Happy, sad, depressed etc.
