5 important things I've learnt since I recovered from bulimia
This was a Guest Post by Lara Zibarras on A Lust for Life
I started dieting when I was just 16 years old. A combination of being bullied at my previous school, along with some unsolicited comments about my body, sent me into a negative downward tailspin of hating my body. It was back in the days before social media, so I grabbed all the magazines I could to learn how to change my body.
I must diet to lose weight. It seemed the perfectly normal and acceptable next step. I’d watched my mum and her off-on relationship with weight watchers, so I thought - what have I got to lose? A lot apparently.
