I'm 16 years old and I was bulimic for four years of my life. It all started when I started getting taller and my weight just went out of control. At first, I just started cutting down on meals but then it went to skipping them. Then one day I saw this girl on the television talking about her eating disorder(she was bulimic) and I thought I would give it a go. Keep in mind that I was only ten when it all started. At first, I would eat a larger dinner than any other 10 year old my age. I would eat all of my dinner and then go straight to the bathroom. Soon enough, my parents started to notice my weight loss so I started to eat half of my dinner, purge and then finish the rest and then do the same thing. My disorder got so bad that I started passing out and puking up blood. Thankfully, I decided to stop for my health, if nothing else. And I did. But then when I was 15, I got very depressed and the pounds started to pile back on. Soon, I was back to my old self. It's been over a year and I've come to realize that I don't need to be skinny to be happy or feel good about myself.
