Judge Me I don't know how to start, so I guess I will start by getting right to the point. I have an eating disorder. More clearly, I am bulimic. I have never said those words to anyone, but it feels good to get it out, and no one will judge me or say anything back. I never realized the complications that come with this eating disorder. I was never overweight, I just wasn't thin. I was normal. I now see that I was normal and I had no need to do what I did to start this horrible disease that, to this day, defines my life. I tried it, it worked, and I was losing weight. Compliments came at me from everywhere. But it was actually more criticism because everyone thought I was disappearing and that I was too skinny. I loved it. Well, as bulimia goes, you never really stay skinny. I gained all my weight back, lost it, gained it again, lost it again. It goes on and on and on, still today. I am a senior in high school, 5 feet 2 inches tall, weigh 120 pounds, which everyone considers normal, but for me, it isn't. I am going to get back down to 110-108, which I am comfortable with. I have been making several visits to the doctors office lately, and only I know why. I hate the fact that I'm worrying my mom because she doesn't know what it is. "I love you mom, and I'm so sorry that I can't talk to you about this, or anyone else." This is my true confession of being bulimic.
