I Am Bulimic and Not Sure I Want Help

Bulimia For 11 Years..no Problem

Written on December 6th, 2009

I am 25 years old and have been "dealing" with bulimia for about 11 years. I say "dealing" because I don't believe i have a problem. I am overweight and so when i overindulge, i get rid of it so that i won't get bigger. At one point i felt I had a problem but now I don't. I see it as doing what i have to do. I try not to think too much into it because it scares me if i realize that I do have a problem. Maybe I'm not making sense but i'm just expressing my thoughts. Sometimes it feels good that I"m a bulimic because sheesh for 11 years and not one person suspects anything about it or has ever known. It's almost like my own best kept secret. I don't do it ALL THE TIME. Do i want to stop? Doesn't matter to me. Well, that's my story.

    I often view my bulimia as just another part of my daily routine, like showering or brushing my teeth. And I also try not to think about it, but I can't always suppress my true feelings about it. Especially because some of my friends are aware of it, I am so impressed that you have kept it hidden for 11 years! I wish I was the only one who knew about my bulimia, then I wouldn't have to worry about it as much.

    However you feel at this time, you must strive to overcome whatever ails you and to bring balance back into your life because your Life is an unique gift that makes you so special and different to everyone-else. I believe God throws choices at you, not because he dislikes you but because he created a unique being who will create an entirely new response in his unique world.
