Hi my name is Christine. I'm 20. I'm 5'0 and I can now say I'm under 200 first the first time in a long time. I've been bulimic for the past 9 years. I'm doing every thing I can to get healthy and get my life back. Today is my 12th day since starting to "recover", I guess. I'm looking hoping to meet people who have had eds or losing 100 lbs, to motivate each other! My goal is 130-ish (126 will be 100lbs) but may main goal is 153, so I can lose that "obese" label.

great meeting you all! and best of luck to everyone!

  • Hello! I sent a friend request. We're different, but not that much. I am a lot taller, so my numbers are different. I am older (35), but time passes quickly. I was anorexic, not bulimic (but if anyone tells you anorexics never purge, they're probably just embarrassed to say they purged). I recovered about 4 years ago, but I can't say the thoughts are always completely gone. ESPECIALLY when I have to lose weight. Which I do, since I have had 2 kids during these last 4 years. I'm doing pretty well. But sometimes I have "skinny dreams" or something, and then it is on my mind all day. Anyway, you can do it!
