I remember as a young kid eating all the time but I was active so I was always very thin. At age 11 life became difficult so I started making myself throw up so I could stay home from school. This lead to on and off again Bulemia until I was 18, and very VERY infrequently until I was 24. I am now 28 and have had no instance of Bulemia, but have become obese due to binge eating. I just thought I was a terrible glutton..and lazy to boot, but there are others who do it too, so it's not just me.
The only thing that can make me feel like stopping is if I take diet pills and I don't want to do that. I don't have insurance; I'm a single mom who works 2 jobs plus I go to school fulltime and live at home with my parents. I work in a gym so I have a free membership, but I'm so ashamed of myself and paranoid that everyone will think I'm gross... Plus when I do come in, my co-workers make a big deal out of it because I rarely work out anymore. *sigh*
Ugh. I know I can beat this naturally and without meds or a psych, as I did with my bulemia, but I just don't know where to start. Plus I am swiftly cleaning out my bank account because all I want to do is eat fast food or junk food or go to resturaunts...
I even became a vegetarian in hopes that I would stop, but it didn't work and in fact I just became ill because I am anemic and have a soy allergy.
I guess I really don't have a purpose really fro writing, just that I appreciate everyone posting here and hoping that we all get better and hoping that I don't pass this along to my daughter.
Thanks for listening...
