My successful battle with bulimia!

It all started when I was in high school. I felt like I needed to be "skinny" so I could be considered "pretty."
I got into the habit of throwing up everything I ate. I later got into the habit of overeating everyday but I knew I was going to throw it all up anyways so I didn't care.
I struggle everyday with bulimia. I wanted to stop, I felt my body changing. I became more tired, depressed, antisocial and all I did was sleep. But it made me happy so I continued. It has been almost three years that I have been fighting bulimia. I can finally say that I have beat bulimia last week. After so many years, I beat bulimia.
I no longer feel the need to throw up. I now eat healthy, exercise daily, I'm happy ! And my body is not as tired as it used to be! I enjoy being active it has turned me into the most happiest person than what I used to be.
We can all overcome any obstacle that crosses our path. We just have to be stronger than the obstacle and beat it with faith and courage! I promise you, anything is possible even the impossible❤️ I'll post a few pictures of how I was before i started with bulimia compared to how I am now! Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope this inspired anyone struggling! 1rsuaqtmhamu.png

    That's awesome you overcame it and look amazing. I have been struggling with bulimia for 7 years on and off now. I am trying to beat it too. It makes eating a normal amount of food and trying to start losing weight the healthy way so hard. Congrats :)
