Heyyy everyone ^_^ I'm Anelisa Vutha and I've been struggling with bulimia for the past 2 and a half years now. I still haven't told anyone about it because I'm afraid of the stigma around it but I do feel I'm getting better.
Due to this, I've been extremely cautious of how I speak about food, diet, exercise and body around people because I know how insensitive comments got me to where I am but it also leads me to assume the worst when I see certain behaviors. I do try to talk people out of things when they say things like "oh I'm so fat" or "I'm gonna do a "fast" for a week" because sometimes that how they start!
Hope my stories resonates with others and we can help each other :
Hi Anelisa.
Thank you so much for your bravery. I’ve actually suffered with binge eating, and I truly understand where you’re coming from. It’s painful to listen to people around me talk about eating in that way. You’re amazing!!!
