Does anyone want to ask me questions?

I'm a former anorexic/bulimic and I was wondering if anyone had questions on eating disorders. I'd be happy to help or just answer if you're curious. It helps me cope.

What drove you to it?
What did you live off of, like what did you eat and stuff?
Didn't you ever get the painful empty starving feeling? If so, how did you deal with that? I imagine it would be hard to ignore.
What was the lowest weight you got to during this time?
How did you manage to recover?

Just some things that run through my mind when this topic comes up.

What drive me to it you can see above on another reply
I changed my calorie intake with time. It started out at around 800 but then dropped to 200. I'd eat like a couple graham crackers and maybe a few bites of chicken and them I would hide the rest
I had the painful starvine feeling for the first couple of weeks, but I kept remembering a quote I saw. "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels." I learned to love the feeling and eventually got used to it and stopped noticing it altogether.
It's hard for me to say about my weight because they would never let me see it but the lowest I remember being is about 90. I was 5'6.
I got into recovery when I was pulled from the rating disorders clinic and threatened to be taken to have a feeding tube stuck up my nose. It didn't scare me at first, but when the day came I panicked. I had to get mad at it and convince myself I wanted to live

I guess my question is how it started. Like was it a gradual process that changed your mindset to thinking certain ways, or were the disorders caused by a specific event?

I have pretty bad emetophobia, which is the feast of vomiting. We were on a field trip and every single person except me got food poisoning. It freaked me out so badly that I just sorr of stopped eating. I didn't want to run the risk of getting food poisoning. But after a few days I started to lose weight. And something about seeing a lower number each time I stepped on the scale just grabbed me and I got absolutely addicted. If I put any weight back on, I felt like a failure. I already had self esteem issues and had a little but of a history with self harm so I just continued to punish myself
