My older sister dealt with bulimia and anorexia. When she was around my age, she was a healthy weight. She's always been on the slim size. I've always been a little overweight, so, at the age of 15, she could fit into the clothes I wore at age 11.

Not long after noticing that, she started to lose a lot of weight. We'd get phone calls from the school saying that she had fallen asleep or fainted in class (both of those explanations have been used). She was always angry and bitter towards everyone. Of course, I didn't notice that. I mistook it for her personality, since she has always been on the mean and stubborn side. The fainting was odd, though, and I realized then that she had gotten thinner.

Throughout her high school years, she went from a healthy weight to a size 0. Towards the end of high school, her rib cage broke (probably from malnutrition from not eating), and there were numerous times that I could hear her throwing up in the bathroom. I told my mother she's anorexic and bulimic, but she shrugged it off and didn't seem to care.

Soon after discovering that she was pregnant, my sister finally started eating again and gaining weight. However, her belly bump was still tiny, even the day before her son's birth. Right after deciding not to breast feed him, she stopped eating again due to stress. Around March (her son was born in February), I told my sister that she's lost weight and I asked if she was eating right. She said that a salad was the only thing she had eaten in days. She then pulled her size 0 jeans away from her and showed me that they were still quite loose on her.

She's trying to get better, and I believe that... I still don't know what caused her eating disorder, but I know that she has health issues now because of it. After years of forcing stomach acid to come up, it now does so involuntarily, so she has trouble keeping food down. I worry about her, but I know she'll do the right thing for the sake of her son. That's her story from an outside point of view. I hope it helps.

I developed anorexia when I was 15. It was mainly because people would mock me for being on the chubby side, even the ones I considered to be my friends. And my parent's kept telling me I eat too much. Lost almost 20 kilos in 3 months, got down to 44kg/95lbs. I was "cured" at 17, but that kind of thing never really goes away. I don't see a kiwi, I see 40kcal, I don't see a bar of chocolate, I see 550. And it's like this with all the foods I eat. It's really fucked up. Also, even though I'm at a healthy weight now, I constantly think about what I'm eating and control how much I weigh and stuff. Eating disorders suck balls.

I know someone that had it but it took me a years to get her back, and is usually have something to do with mental issue of something that have experienced that couldn't express. She had eating disorder after her father poison/drugged her food and doctor went through few month to clean it up, so I help her by gaining her trust, and cook her some excellent food that she wanted to try. And kept going.

Yeah, everything I eat makes me sick. At least for a few hours. Not fun.
