My Eating Disorder
Almost Killed Me
By: Melia Coon
A True Story On My Battle with Bulimia
My childhood was happy and I was full of life, my mother said no one could ever shut me up.
It wasn't until I was in my junior year of highschool, that I became an enemy with my own body. I rememeber May 14th 2014 like it was yesterday, I went shopping with my friends, we went into Forever21, I usually fit into a size small, so naturally I picked up all the teeshirts in a size small. I went into the change rooms and to my surprise one of the shirts didn't fit. I went out of the room, to show my displeasement. A girl in the next change room from mine came out with a smirk on her size 00 body. She looked at me and said " Maybe you should start wearing a medium." I shrugged it off but those words swirled in my head for hours and hours until I looked into the mirror and analyzed every inch of my once perfect body.
