My battle with bulimia

I am 39, and bulimia is something I’ve fought a battle with for many years. I’m currently winning more or less. One of the results has been to have to live with teeth that I find horrifying. I don’t remember what it’s like to really smile, not be on guard when talking. I refuse to let even my children take my picture. I’ve been out of my marriage for almost 4 years but can’t date, and don’t socialize. People used to listen to what I had to say. Now it’s as if once I begin to speak and my teeth are exposed, that becomes their focal point. Doesn’t matter how intelligent I may be, they are no longer listening. I just stay with my kids–they aren’t judgemental–they accept me as I am. Watching the program on NW Afternoon gave me hope, but hope can be a scary thing.
