Biography

 

I'm 27 years old and I live in New York. I've been diagnosed with eating disorders a few times in the past 10 years and each time has been a different diagnosis. I've suffered with eating disorders for most of my adolescence and into adulthood. I do not enjoy having an eating disorder, but there are some days in which I seriously enjoy fasting. I am currently diagnosed with Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (ED-NOS). My current BMI is 19.2 and it has been at that BMI for a while now. I do have goals for myself, but I'd rather not state them here.

I do not want people to copy me in anyway. I think people should be unique and have minds of their own. I don't particularly like that I have amassed such an astounding number of followers on Twitter. I'm used to it now, and I hope what people take from my tweets is that eating disorders are real. I hope they know and are educated about them, and that every person's eating disorder is utterly unique to them.

I do not enjoy Pro Anorexic websites and I will never be a member or part of that particular community. If that is what someone calls a community...

 

My eating disorder started when I was entering puberty (12 years old). It freaked me out and I did not like the way my body was changing. My mother (who is a SAINT by the way) didn't see a cause for alarm. Eating Disorders are hereditary in my family. My mother has a long relationship with Anorexia Nervosa (dating back to the late 70's and early 80's). Eating disorders were not talked about in my family, Recovery wasn't shoved down our throats either.

I think at that time they were considered a "phase" and he or she will "grow out of it". 

 

I started of with fasting and abusing my mothers diet pills. I lost an incredible amount of weight. Through my teenage years I started to gain some and lose some. My weight fluctuated a lot, so I decided what goes in must come out. I started purging in my late teens and early twenties. I was diagnosed first with Anorexia Nervosa Type 2 then Bulimia Type 2, at different times of course. I am currently ED-NOS. I sought out recovery one time, and my experience was a living nightmare. I will never recover again. My mother told me, "you can't do it for other people, do it when YOU want to."

 

G-D bles her! I think if it wasn't for my own mother giving me strength and common sence I wouldn't be here. She is my best friend, and I have always said that. I get asked a lot whether my family knows about my websites. The answer of course is yes. I tell my mother everything as she does for me. We laugh at funny comments together and bitch about wanarexics together. I think my mother said it best about wanarexics: "They DON'T have an eating disorder! In my day there was no such thing as wanarexics. All they have is "food in mouth disease". They wouldn't know what an eating disorder was, even if it landed in their lap!"

 

My mother is awesome.
