Hi, my name is grace. I am now 15 and the
shortest in my family. I developed
bulimia right before turning 13. It
slowed my growth to an inch per year. I
have never gotten a pubertal growth spurt
or my period. My parents and everyone in
my family are much taller than I am. I
would be happy with just 1-2inches more.
I have been trying to eat healthily now
and taking calcium supplements, but what
is the chance I can make up some growth?
