Well
I had anorexia and overcame it but then developed bulimia. I am not a failed anorexic... I survived anorexia. Bulimia is me trying to eat normally and therefore not doing anorexic things like not eating... however sometimes I relapse and do not eat... that is me failing....not failing anorexia but myself to get better. If you have any questions about anorexia or bulimia you can ask me... been through both! Hopefuly what I have said will help you a wee bit in ur essay!!My email is groovychick13_55@hotmail.com xx
