Important bulimia information

I am surprised to see that some people think having bulimia is ok if it makes you happy! It is not! I have had bulimia for 8 years had cognitive behavioural therapy and medication and nothing would treat it I couldn't stop eating and couldn't bear to get fat. Only now I have got it under control in the past few months by realizing it will not go away and since realizing this I have stopped being sick every day and now it happens very rarely. My point is though that bulimia will eventually make you fat, the only way to be thin and healthy is to et a healthy balanced diet. When I first became bulimic I dropped masses of weight, however after a year I started to creep back to my normal weight even though I was still being sick around 4 times a day. Eventually over the years pockets of fat developed on my hips and bra area on my back as my body desperately tried to cling on to any fat that entered my body. I never had fat in this area before. Now 8 years on I eat healthily and go to the gym yet I had to have liposuction to remove this fat caused by bulimia. My hair is only now growing properly as it had got really thin and I have 4 fillings and one root filling in my previously perfectly healthy teeth. I have strange problems with my throat such as small pieces of food getting stuck. I only wish I ate the diet that I do now 8 years ago as I am obsessed with the gym yet because of the bulimia messing my body up it has taken expensive surgery to sort me out. So don't think bulimia will get you thin and if you have it get treatment from your Dr immediately. I hope I can help at least one person xxx
