“I have never shared with anyone, not even my live-in boyfriend…”

“I struggle heavily with an eating disorder (something I have never shared with anyone, not even my live-in boyfriend of 2 years.) I’ve mastered the “art” of silent purging, and do so almost daily. I always tell myself “This is the last time… tomorrow I stop.” but I never follow through. It’s a constant battle. Perhaps promising to never do it again is too much, but I made a promise to myself today that I wanted to share with you, one I have never been able to honor. I will keep this promise to myself today.”
