Expertise:  I can answer most questions relating to anorexia, bulimia and some of the medical problems related to the illnesses
I suffered from anorexia from the age of about 10. By the age of 13 I was suffering from bulimia. Now after 10 years of suffering from an eating disorder, I feel that I can say that I'm well on my way with recovery and would just like to be able to share what I have learned with those in similar situations!

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  I hope that I can gain from this the push that I need to put my eating problems behind me. I would like to be able to help people in this situation before hopefully going on to specialise in the field! I feel that hearing about others' experiences will allow me to go on and use that knowledge in the future to help many others
What do you like about this subject?  I became very interested in the disorders themselves while I was suffering badly from both bulimia and anorexia. I find it very interesting in that while every situation is basically very similar, they are at the same time extremely different! No 2 people have the same experience with their eating disorder!
