When I was 14 I was diagnosed with Bulimia. Looking at me you couldn't tell that I had an eating disorder. To an outsider I looked healthy. I ate a lot of food. But I was anything but healthy.
Facts:
1. Bulimia nervosa affects
1-2% of adolescent and young adult women.
2. Approximately 80% of
bulimia nervosa patients are female.
3. People struggling with
bulimia nervosa usually appear to be of average body weight.
4. Many people struggling with
bulimia nervosa recognize that their behaviors are unusual and perhaps
dangerous to their health.
5. Bulimia nervosa is
frequently associated with symptoms of depression and changes in social
adjustment.
6. Risk of death from suicide
or medical complications is markedly increased for eating disorders
