I come from a wonderful family with loving parents and a wonderful brother. I always did well in school, and after university, I was able to quickly find a decent job.<\/p>

Although there were no major dramatic events or turning points in my life, that didn’t stop bulimia from taking over 5 years of my life.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

It all started<\/b> with my desire to lose a few kg. <\/b><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Diet after diet, I was not able to achieve the desired shape and I was not happy. I don’t remember exactly how or when innocent diets turned into an eating disorder, but I do remember the feeling. The feeling that I am not enough. The feeling that happiness will come to me only when I get rid of the extra few kilograms and that my life will only then begin.<\/p>

I had fallen into an endless cycle of strict diets, overeating, and purging.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

I was so obsessed with my look and the food and I didn’t know how to enjoy life anymore.<\/p>

\u00a0Bulimia affected my relationships with friends, and family, my self-esteem, and most of all my health.\u00a0<\/p>

But back then I didn\u2019t realize the seriousness of the problem and I had no motivation to heal. Plus, an eating disorder was the perfect excuse to not achieve any of my life goals.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

At some point I hit the rock bottom.<\/b><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

But then I thought I would die<\/strong>. I was laying on the floor after another binge eating episode and I was barely breathing. I thought my stomach had burst. Hot and cold waves swept over me, and I felt I had gone too far this time. I was scared, but I didn’t dare call an ambulance.<\/p>

I was ashamed<\/strong>. I was not able to tell anybody about my eating disorder.<\/p>

I already had several health problems due to bulimia, but at that moment, I realized how much I had messed up. And there on the floor, scared to death, I promised to myself that if I survive, I would do my best to heal.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I\u2019ve started searching for ways to deal with the problem. <\/span><\/p>

I read a lot of books and tried different strategies. <\/span><\/p>

It was difficult because the binge eating episodes did not vanish, but I did not give up. <\/span><\/p>

And after about a year of fight, I succeeded. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Things didn’t happen overnight, I didn’t just wake up as a new person. <\/span><\/p>

It took me months to fight, to stand up to myself and my fears, but it was worth it. <\/span><\/p>

I am healthy and alive now. I eat well, my weight normalizes, and I work out for pleasure, but more importantly, I enjoy my life. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I believe that no one is safe and an eating disorder can happen to anyone. <\/span><\/p>

But I also believe that everyone is able to heal and live the life of their dreams.<\/span><\/p>

With the right guidance and support, it’s even easier.<\/p>

That’s why I’ve started to help people by sharing my story and recovery path and the techniques and exercises that helped me.<\/p>

In May 2022, I graduated with a master’s degree in Psychology.<\/p>

Today I can proudly say that I have helped a lot of girls find balance.<\/p>

Every victory is important because it makes us stronger in the fight against eating disorders.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
