I intend to use this blog to portray the horrors of eating disorders in their true sinister light.

So many horror films have been based on the horrors of a dental appointment.
As a bulimic, I can understand why.



I have one coming up pretty soon, and I am dreading it. Like most, I am a very secretive bulimic and I fear being caught out. At my last dental appointment, the dentsist told me I have really bad acid erosion of the enamel. I've always had this naturally so I started using a special toothpaste to help me with this. Since then, my purging has become more frequent and as a result of my illness, I now have an acid reflux meaning that I have a dodgy taste in my mouth all the time.
If the dentist confronts me about my eating disorder, I know I will blatantly deny it, as I always do. I know I shouldn't, but I just can't help it. That's why I've set up this blog, to vent about my worst secret. I will confide in you as I have confided in no one else and I hope to help people in a similar condition.
I'm advising anyone that is bulimic to tell somebody immdetiately. But I know how difficult that is as I myself haven't even found the courage to do so.
