I went and I'm glad that I did. My dentist was exceptionally nice about the whole thing. I just went ahead and told her I was bulimic from the get go. Well, first I asked about the confidentiality thing, and you gals were right. She's legally obligated not to tell. I told her that I had it under control now. I hope that's true, but it's most likely a lie.
Anyway, the good news is that my teeth are pretty much awesome. I don't even really have any enamel problems. I have a couple of tiny cavities, which does kind of suck since I've never had any before, but still most people get cavities just from normal eating. I had to hurl hundreds of times to get any. Gross. Oh well.
So, if any of you have been avoiding the dentist for the same reason I was, don't do it! You should definitely go and get your teeth taken care of. They can't lock you up or tell anyone or really do anything, just recommend a counselor or something and make sure your teeth stay as healthy as possible. No point in being thin and beautiful if your teeth are ew! This message brought to you by Eva, your friendly neighborhood bulimic, taking care of skinny bitches.
I'm so TiRed. Been stay up late every single night since I moved back home and I need some catch up sleep. I also need to do a post holiday fast. I'm going to try to fast until Christmas, even though my birthday is coming up this week. I'm just going to tell my mom I don't want any cake because of all the Thanksgiving splurges.
<3 <3 <3 Tomorrow will be a good for starving. I can feel it.
Glad it went well. i knew it would!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome that it went well!! I hope you do well on your fast!!

I wish my dentist wasn't a family friend :(
ReplyDeleteI mean, I know there's the confidentiality rule, but he's also male, so he probably wouldn't understand.
It takes courage to tell anyone, though. Good for you :)
I have a dentist appointment on the 14th. Maybe I'll tell my dentist assistant. Doubt I'll have the balls.
Good luck with the fast. I think I'll be fasting a little closer to Christmas. I'll join you then.
xoxo
Glad to hear it went okay :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck fasting!
I had the same feelings before I went to the dentist but they didnt say anything about it so I chalk it up to paranoia. But yes I did have my very first cavity of all time a few months ago so I guess it has done some damage. :(
ReplyDeleteI start writing a blog about my life with my eating
ReplyDeletedisorder and my addiction to fashion. I really need
readers,
because in my real life I had no listeners. Alone, yes I
was
always alone with my thoughts, in those days I didn't
care about it.
Untill I discovered the blogs and learnt how good it can
feel to have
readers. Readers, which share the same intress and
have the same
feelings after a shitty snack attack.
Plz, visit me:

I'm actually kinda feaked out that my dentist is a family friend. He's so close i think he'd tell my family in an instant.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it went well for you though.

ReplyDeleteYeah, my dentist is this old guy with a raspy voice (like he had cancer in his esophagus from smoking) and I can barely tell him when I have a tooth ache :) I think after reading this blog though I'll find a younger, female doctor and utilize this confidentiality thing. That's a good tip, thanks!
ReplyDeletea dentist, orthodontist and restorative orthodontist are all none the wiser to my bulimic ways even though i myself see some suspected erosian
ReplyDeleterespect for telling her though i wouldnt have the guts

great blog.
