It is hell!. I am 47 years old and I've had an eating disorder most of my life!.
I don't have a good sense of my body!. I never have!. I am 5'6" and through high school and college I weighed 105 lbs!. Too skinny!. But all I could see was the cellulite on my thighs and the fatness of them!. I was overfat, even though I didn't weigh much!.
Then I got married, learned to cook, had a stressful job, and learned to turn toward food as I never had before!. In high school, I was borderline anorexic!. Then I started to binge!. Work a night shift!? Stay up late!? Food helped me through it!. Lose a patient!? Food was there!. Have a fight with the hubby!? Eating chocolate helped so much!. Sad because marriage was hard work, and there was never enough money to do anything (DH was out of work), yep, food was there!. A comfort, a help!. As things progressed, I turned more and more to food to get through things!. I was disgusted with myself, and started purging with exercise and laxatives!. That got to be too much work, so I quit purging but didn't stop binging!. I numbed myself with food!. I didn't care about my family, my kids, just what could I eat and when!.
Finally, I found that I couldn't live that way and I got help!.
I've been in recovery for over 10 years, and I still struggle with my eating disorder!. I'm fat because of all the abuse I've heaped on my poor body!. I try to eat sensibly and exercise, and it's a struggle some times, when the food that is everywhere calls me!.
Hope my story helps someone!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't know because I don't puke up my meals!. Maybe somebody from Hollywood will answer where puking up at least 2 of your 3 meals a day is encouraged for a thin figure!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
