I admire your honesty, and am glad to know that you are doing well.

My daughter will be a junior in college this fall...she is an RA. Last fall, a girl on her floor OD'd on laxatives. She had been abusing then for a couple of years. The profound dehydration caused a cardiac event. She was 18 or 19 and damaged her heart for life due to her ED. This is very serious stuff. Not a cosmetic issue as some would want to make it out to be.
