    After sharing my vulnerable past in class, I decided write about Bulimia and the stuff I dealt with. There are two core symptoms when you have Bulimia, guilt and shame.  People with this disease judge themselves very strictly. Any imperfections make them sick.
    During binge eating, he or she would eat a lot of food mostly in private. I remember when I was dealing with Bulimia, I would secretly buy a lot junk food and devour them in my bedroom with the door locked. It felt nice when I'm eating but when I was finished, I felt gross. Then, I would do the same thing the next day. The effects of Bulimia are countless. Self-injuring behavior is one of the major issues I had. Visible scars were left on parts of my body as a physical reminder of my horrible past.
   There are plenty of reasons why people develop Bulimia; pressure from peer group, have trouble managing moods, struggle with perfectionism and so on. Having negative body image is also one of the possible cause for developing bulimia, which is related to our team's theme!
