i hope it makes folk realise that it can affect anyone, even guys and it doesn't matter what job you're in. So if that even gets through to someone who then goes and gets some help then something worthwhile's come of it.

I know folk are only joking, but I detest the whole stereotype that bulimia only affects skinny folk and that you'll lose weight if you have bulimia. I can imagine not being what's considered wee that you run the risk of folk not taking you seriously when you try talk to them about it because I reckon it still has the stereotype of purging being something people do after every meal and therefore it affects your weight.

I remember hearing a guy at school saying about a girl in the year above that she was just attention seeking and couldn't have proper bulimia as she was still fat.

Views like that really disgust me and the sooner folk become more educated on eating disorders the better.

What she said.

I think people DO need better education it/advice on how to get support for it.
