I went for bulimia treatment the first time when I was 16 with little or no motivation for change. All of my girlfriends were into bingeing and purging, being skinny and using drugs. The idea of giving up bingeing and purging scared me to death. First of was scared of getting fat and secondly I would have to develop another group of friends. FOr these reasons and others I didn’t put very much effort into the bulimia treatment center I attended.

As with drug addiction, my bulimia continued to worsen until one day I became so depressed I thought about taking my own life. It wasn’t long after this episode I entered another bulimia treatment center, still frightened, but more willing. I was 27 now and much more willing to listen. I stayed in the treatment center for eight weeks and although I struggled alot it was the best eight weeks I ever spent.

It has been two and a half years now and I have only had one short relapse. The good news is that the bulimia treatment center I attended taught me how to deal with relapse quickly and I was right back on track. BIngeing and purging is no longer a solution for me. I have learned new ways of coping. If you are bulimic, get yourself bulimia help now.
