Hello I am Claire.
I really dont know where to start to be honest..
I have always had a problem with my weight, over the past year i have became disgusted with the way i look, I have tried to exercise, still doing it at the moment, tried diets, even that Special K diet but my weight dont seem to go down at all.
The past few weeks, i have been making myself sick everytime i eat, after i have made myself sick, i feel great about myself, known that i wont be putting the weight on with what i have ate.
The thing is, my mum is bulimic i was so disappointed in her, she has been this way for over a year now, she is now seeking help, she still finds it very hard to eat, but she is getting there.
At this moment in time, making myself sick is the only way for me, to lose weight.
I have not told anyone about this, I am ashamed in a way because of how i reacted when my mum told me what she was doing.. and now i am doing the same

i can understand your situation, im in the same boat with my older sister, but she's the only one not allowed to know in my family, so everytime she asks how im doing i have to tell her a lie, but yah i felt kind of ashamed of myself b/c i judge her too but now i know better, have you ever tried seeing a nutritionist? idk some diets just dont work for certain people, but good luck and if you need to talk just message me
