Hi Victoria, it's good that you have acknowledged that you suffer from Bulimia. Have you had counselling ? I really recommend seeking professional help. Our YS was bulimic for many of his teenage years & suffers badly from low self esteem, along with other issues. He has only just seen a psychologist for the first time this week. He is now 32. 17 years is a long time to struggle with this, virtually on your own. He is only now accepting he needs help. Don't delay it too long sweetie. It is not wrong to seek help. Starving yourself is not the answer either. Building self esteem is such an important aspect of having a good life in my opinion. We must learn to love ourselves.
Please think about seing someone professionally. I'm not sure where you live so don't know what is available for you. Sending you lots of love, xo Cate.
