Former bulimic: "Throw up in order to go up". Marcela Esalo Part 1 of 3 with Anh Le

Hi this is Evangelist Anh Le, welcome to the Real Life Radio Show, and we are going to talk to Real People, who had real problems, but found answers in a Real God. Today we are going to talk about Bulimia Nervosa, a condition which mostly affects 1.3 % of females, and 0.5% of males, but it is a condition where someone binge eats, and then purges (vomits) up all their food so as not to gain weight. The causes of Bulimia are unknown to scientists, but they know that it can run in families. Why would someone torture themselves by being so obsessed with weight gain enough to go through extremes of making themselves throw up all their food? Are there severe consequences to this behavior? Yes there are, and today we will have Marcela Eslao who developed Bulimia Nervosa as a teenager, and struggled with bulimia throughout much of her adult life. She is going to reveal some of the dark realities associated with Bulimia, and explain to us why she almost became addicted to the lifestyle. Marcela, welcome to the show.
