Sharon Osbourne: My bulimia will never go away

Rock legend has learned to live with her condition

Sunday, 22 March 2009

Sharon Osbourne admits she’ll never completely overcome bulimia.

The former X Factor judge finally stopped vomiting after meals 2 years ago, but fears that her condition could come back.

‘Once you have it, you always have it,’ says Sharon. ‘An eating disorder never goes away. You just learn to live with it.

‘I could get help, but, God, it would take me years of therapy, and what’s the point? Everyone has an addiction – you just learn to live with it.’

Sharon, 54, says her children Aimee, 25, Kelly, 24, and Jack, 23, make sure she doesn’t return to her old ways.

Kelly still follows me round if I get up mid-meal,’ she tells Weekend magazine. ‘I say, “I’m not going to throw up, honest; I’m just going for a pee”.’

I respect Mrs. Osborne's opinion but I totally disagree - I believe one can recover from an eating disorder. I have been recovered from anorexia and bulimia for over 16 years. Food is not like alcohol or other substances - one can learn to have a healthy relationship with food and those with eating disorders can do so. I do not sit down at a meal each day and wonder how I am going to cope with it. Food does not have power over me but has an appropriate and healthy role in my life and well being. Recovered anorexic and bulimic.
