Hello There, Let me introduce myself.
Click HERE to read an excerpt from my memoir!
Welcome! since I will be disecting some pretty touchy issues and sharing some personal stories of my own, I thought it would be helpful to first let you know a bit about who I am. Ill skip my birth and early upbring - though I know you would love to read it - and get right to the good stuff.
My name is Lizzy and Im a 21year-old junior at Western Washington University. I am majoring in psychology. I decided that I would be a psychotherapist when I was 12 years old and that aspect of me hasn't changed since. I actually enjoy school (when Im well enough to go) and a plethora of other things including showing my horse on the national circuit, drawing, clubbing (to the Nth power), and of course, hanging out with friends.
This is quite a rosey summary of myself, and I wish it were complete. But the fact of the matter is, (if you haven't already guessed), that most of my life is consumed by a nasty habit of binging and purging (up to 10 times a day). We,(being my therapist and I) call this quirky little behavior "bulimarexia." Clever term huh!
So What's the Deal Here?
I plan on providing some basic information on common eating dissorders and their symptoms, as well as a listing of resources for those who would like to seek help. For those of you who know eating disorders like the back of your hand, Ill try to provide as much up-to-date news and science discoveries on any relavent topics. Finally, I must let off a little steam. Who doesn't from time to time? Due to this basic craving for a bit of catharsis, I will post regular tidbits about my woes and whines, and perhaps some personal insight along the way. Thanks for visiting and enjoy the complimentary chocolate - that is, unless your bulimic or have BED. (Sick joke, I know)
