Real Talk
Hey. I'm Angela. I was bulimic for 10 years.

It's not pretty. It's not simple. But it's real.
It's how bulimia felt to me. And I bet it's how bulimia feels to those of you who are struggling.
I want you to know: you're not alone. Your life isn't hopeless. The cycle can end.
Hell, if a train wreck like me can recover, so can you.
