I always had overeating tendencies, but when I was told I was possibly allergic to gluten, dairy & sugar, I started to go nuts. Then my friend told me she was anorexic, and while I was trying to help her, I developed my own version of it. So I started the binge-starve cycle. Along the way I developed holding my breath, cutting and working out like a nut. Then I started trying to purge. Right now I have pretty much stopped purging, but still binging a little and starving. Overall, I am trying to get better now!
