I am a male of 22 and I used to be very overweight. Boys used to call me names and I hated myself.
My only comfort was more food.
Then I conquered my weight problem by purging.
It worked and I lost a lot of weight, but it led to me bingeing and purging.
This has been going on for two and a half years now and I cannot stop.
I still live at home. I know my parents are very concerned, particularly my mum who tries to get me to eat a healthy diet.
I feel terrible for hurting them but part of me does not want to stop and I think this may be where the problem lies.
