It was ten years ago when I became bulimic. I had always worried about my weight and how I looked. I always thought I looked fat, no matter what the scale showed or anyone said. But I had never made myself throw up — not until after college. That was a hard time for me. Living on my own and a new job were more than I could handle. I turned to food to feel more in control of my life. Sometimes, I'd eat a lot of food and throw it up. Other times, I'd throw up a normal meal. At the time, it seemed like the only way I could cope. Luckily, I got help from a friend who talked to me about my problem. It took a lot of work. But I am better now.

People with bulimia worry alot about gaining weight. They also become moody or sad and often do not wan't to go out with friends.

What causes bulimia:

• A binge can set of dieting or stress


• A binge is over-eating


• Painful emotions such as stress, anger, or saddness can also bring on binging


• This disease people think help them ease stress when you are actually doing yourself bad and give you stress


• There is no known cause of bulmia

People with bulimia can get better:

• There is alot of medical care with this disease


• Doctor's provide medical care


• A nutritionist will give you a healthy eating pattern


• A thearapist will help you throughout your thoughts and feelings


• Anti-depression pills


• Chances of getting better are greater when bulimia is found early


• Very dangerous problem
