Hi I'm new

Hi guys

I'm new on here and just wanted to say hello.
I started to suffer with eating problems after I had my daughter 8 years ago. I went through a rough time and used my weight as a weapon to cover up problems I had inside. I became anorexic for over 3 years. After meeting my partner I seemed to get better. A year after this my food addiction came back,exept this time without even seeing it coming, I became bulimic and have been for the last 3 years.

The only person I have ever told about my bulimia is my husband, he didnt take it too well at first. Unfortunately we have now seperated, which has caused havoc with my eating habits. I just wish I could be free from it. Every single day I get up is all about my eating, Its all I think about.

Are there any success stories out there and how did you start on your road to recovery?

Thanks

Still waiting to hear from

I recently confided in my best friend about my problems with food. She said deep down she always knew but was too scared to ask in case she was wrong.
She has got me to make a doctors appointment and is coming with me next Thursday.

I have also started a food diary yesterday, so I'll just have to see what happens.

Thanks x

Just to let you all know, I went to see my doctor last Thursday. He wasn't has helpful as I would have liked him to be but I suppose bulimia isn't his area.
He is refering me to the psychiatric hospital as an out patient for emergency counselling and to see a specialist. Still not had an appointment come through yet though.

I will keep you informed on my progress x
