I've seen tons of ED youtubers (yeah I can't believe I just said that) and I can relate to you so much. Thanks for this.

i've had bulimia & anorexia, & bulimia was by far the worst for me. binging & purging was hell, but was at the same time so addictive, & ends up controlling your life. it takes everything out of you as well. & you keep kicking yourself like "wtf, why did you do that AGAIN? you're such an idiot!" & then you hate yourself & feel disgusting at the same time. basically, i understand where you are coming from!

I never told anyone. I was bulimic for almost 2 years. I lost all the weight and got lean (that was because of the gym). But it came at such a bad price. If I could go back in time I would kick the shit out of my 19 year old self for even thinking about it. But its to late so now I got to live with what I have. Any thinking of doing it dont! Get off your lazzy asses and go to the gym! And great video by the way.

@abbeysambivalence doctors can be the worst! I've had to tell them numerous times to NOT say my weight outloud, even with a clear anorexic/bulimic history. crazy. and thank you so much, sweetie! <3 I reallllllllly appreciate that! it was certainly not an easy process by any means and I really appreciate your continued support... really!

heya! i find it soooo mind-boggling that your doctor wouldn't believe you. that is just....soooo sad :( like, you are mustering up the courage to disclose your ED to someone, and then that person doubts what you say. christine, i have watched your videos for a long time now (you are like my fave subscription lol) and you are so brave to share your struggles and triumphs. :)
