It all started with my mum calling me fat. She told me that I was different from normal girls. I thought, if I was skinny then she would talk to me more, and it worked. But bulimia got a hold of me. Every time I was hungry, I would eat and then throw back up the food that I had eaten. It made me feel like I had control over my life. I felt so good about myself and lads started seeing me in the girlfriend kind of way. It was only when I went to the doctor that I knew something was wrong. The doctor told me that if I didn't stop throwing up my food then I was going to die. I became a size 5 in clothes, but I couldn't stop. Every time I would try not to throw up, I would feel cold inside. One year later I got the help that I needed. I met new people in rehab and some of them share the same story as me. Bulimia nearly ruined my life and every now and again I do throw up. But, I will never let it get as bad as it was. Also, I am now with someone who likes me for the person I am, not the person I was a long time ago. Share your story	Sign up for our Email Newsletter For Email Marketing you can trust
