I was 10 years old when I began my eating disorder

My life was out of control.  Weight was the one thing I could control. And I did it well.  My parents encouraged me, my friends admired me and my siblings envied me.  Losing weight made me happy.

I started to connect the weight loss to being happy. Losing weight equaled happiness, acceptance and success.  What I didn't understand was the nightmare I was entering into.  I was plunging head long into a disease that would consume my life for the next 27 years.
