Fight Back! I'm 40 years old and after being Bulimic for 19 years I've suddenly stopped. I first became bulimic at the age of 21. Weight issues and depression started the downward episodes and a bloody ulcer combined with a near impossible relationship with extreme hyper and hypo thyroid incidents brought my abusive behavior to an abrupt end. I've lost a lot of teeth (fake ones are wonderful), friends, relationships, time, money, confidence, jobs, and a better christian walk. I don't think being fat is the answer, nor do I think being bulimic or anorexic is the answer. Moderation is the key. Eat to live...don't live to eat. GOD gave us food to enjoy, but if it is abused we cannot enjoy it anymore. In fact, we have taken away one of the best gifts GOD has ever given us. There are many women and men out there who have chosen this route to maintain their weight. For any young person reading this, I hope you will seek GOD's help. I remember reading an article when I was 24 about a 36 year old bulimic who came out of her closet regarding her addiction to food. I was embarrassed for her and promised myself it would not be me. 20 years later I am writing an even more embarrassing story. Since I stopped, my body has not flipped out and gained any weight. I trust it to maintain itself and listen. It will not betray you like you think it will. GOD knows how much food you need. Let Go and let GOD, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit guide you. They care very much about you, because they know a bad spirit has got your insecurities in their greedy hands and want to keep you down for life. Fight back!
