Perfect

Have you ever heard of Bulimia? Do you actually have an understanding of what it is? Well in the book Perfect by Natasha Friend Isabelle has Bulimia. Isabelle is the main character in the book she is 13 years old. Her and her family are trying to get over there grief of her fathers death. Isabelle sadly turned to food. And now she has a eating disorder called Bulimia.

Although people with Bulimia try to keep it a secret Isabelle had gotten caught by her medaling little sister, who ratted her out to her mother. From then on out Isabelle made a "deal" with her mom and was forced to go to group, Once a week she was stuck in a " Eating Disorder and Body Image Therapy Group."  I don’t disagree with her mother in the aspect of making her daughter go to group. I mean if I found out that my daughter was forcing her self to trough up I would of done the same, she obviously needs help. I also understand that Isabella is depressed because of her fathers passing, and she doesn't feel like she can talk about it with anyone but I really think that her mother should try to help her through it and not force her into group right away I think just have a talk with her and if she doesn't stop then go t a second solution such as group

Some people think that Bulimia is kind of like Anorexia but it isn't they are both eating disorder but they are completely different. For example one who maybe Anorexic doesn't eat all they completely starve themselves. While Bulimic people eat a lot. They eat almost everything in sight but after words they wood make themselves  either through up or they would use Ex Lax to flush out there system. Most people with Bulimia try to keep it a secret because it is not something to be proud of. They just do it because all they want to do is eat but they no if they eat t much they get fat so then all they do is through it up so they don’t have to gain that extra weight. 

It is quiet sad to know that so many girls my age are Bulimic. I would never think of doing that to my self but I guess you cant help it sometimes. It is interesting that the girls in the book that were Bulimic the problem had to do with family in a sense.  I am glad that there are ways these girls /guys can get help it is just a sad thing to her about. I mean if you had a friend that you knew was Bulimic you would one be really grossed out and two you would be really worried and try to help them out. And just that might help just be there try to help them through it that’s all Isabelle needed and she go it through group. She was able to talk about her feelings and end up stop throwing up.
