College days

by Amelia
(USA)

It all started as a diet during my junior year in college...and then turned into an obsession with fat and calories and a refusal to eat anything with any fat. I stopped menstruating and felt cold all the time...yet still I couldn't allow myself to eat more than a tiny amount/day.

Then my body just lost it. I couldn't control it anymore and the binges started. The starve/binge...starve/binge cycle continued until getting married and then conceiving a child. My daughter saved me and started me on the healing process.

Today, I'm the proud mother of 3 children and work very hard to teach my children to love their bodies no matter what, and I feed them healthy food to nourish their bodies and souls and make them strong.
