Everything I ate came the shame of how it would affect my body. That's when I started to binge and purge. I would eat almost 1,500 calories in a sitting and throw it all up. I knew what I was doing was wrong, but the self hatred only grew as the scale number got smaller. I went from 125 pounds to only 98 pounds.It was never good enough, I became obessive over the number on the scale. My friends started to notice and expressed their concern, I broke down and told them everything, how a simple comment had taken over my life.
My bestfriend Ellie was so scared she told my parents and they brought me to the hospital, were I was assessed and disgnosed with Bulimia. I was then transfered to a hospital that specialized in eating disorders. I started going to one on one and group therapy, I started to regain my self confidence back and met live long friends.
I'm not saying it was easy, my ED took over my life and took all of my mind to keep at it, and I knew it would take 100% of me to fight back. Some days I gave 100% some days I barely gave 50%, but with the support of my friends and family, my own inner strength and the wonderful staff team at SunnyBrook I took back my life that my eating disorder almost took from me.
