I've had an eating disorder since age 18. I am now 40+ but not yet 50 (still in age denial, myself, lol, until I look in the mirror).
It is in remission, now, but, I always have to watch what I'm doing because bingeing and purging has always come way too easily to me. I've even gone bulimic without knowing it (bulimia doesn't involve just puking, if it did, I'd have no teeth)...the worst time was when I still thought I was this huge female person and took on a garbage route. I mistook the muscle for fat, and, started battling the weight gain. Finally, my coworkers (bless those men), were like, you need to eat some meat! Abruptly, I realized, these dudes want me around...what am I doing to myself? It took a it of soul searching, and, a broken arm while training, but, I suddenly realized I had relapsed into bulimia, and, could very well kill myself on the garbage route if I continued.

Now that I'm almost through our child's first half decade of life, my spouse and I have entered another incredibly stressful period (long story), I am really fighting another relapse. I semi-relapsed just last week. These eating disorders do not go away, that is for sure.

Also, most of the celebrity women are using a technique called wrapping after they have their babies. They wrap their distended middles with not one, but TWO corsets, and, pull tight. Come to think of it, maybe I'll try that on my remaining baby belly...I make it go away, but, it keeps coming back...LOL
