Mind vs Bulimia. Personality and healthy weight over bulimia and being thin.?

I'm 18 and a girl.

I've had my bad 2 years nearly of bulimia and working to quit.

I purge off and on but I guess I do keep stuff down and I am really working to quit.

I'm trying to work up something to go off of. You see Bulimia has no pros, its an illusion to make you think you aren't gaining weight but really what you're doing is changing your body's composition for the worst.

Being bulimic makes my personality go to crap, and it makes me really stupid while a healthy me is really smart. Its just so hard to work to be a healthy weight when food makes me feel crappy eating but the after effect of eating and being healthy is that I have a wonderful personality and people like me more as a person.

Its just so hard struggling with this and trying to keep everything down. I have to remain silent about it as I have no one to tell and this is something I must overcome.

Can I have a bit of personal experience and help.

    You need a therapist. You cannot struggle with this alone, you need professional emotional support. It is not helpful for you to remain silent and keep this a big secret, because bulimia is all about secrets. What's more, many people BECOME bulimic because of secrets - family secrets and so forth.

    PLEASE seek professional help. You need it for your recovery.
