Bulimia And Me
Posted: 09-19-07 15:44pm

Hi I am new to the forum and I have never been on anything like this before

I have had bulimia since January, stopped for 3 weeks this year but started again. I feel like I can never stop it and no one will ever understand me why I do it.

Does anyone else feel the same

Hello Lisa,

u can stop. I am entitled to say so, couse I've been there and I have stopped binge/purge/laxative story. If u follow my story u shall see that the recovery from bulimia is not very simple, but it is realistic and yes, even simple in a way.

best

There Is Such Thing As a Better Life!!
Posted: 09-20-07 21:46pm

Please read my post and update.. titled "I Have Eating Disorder". I have suffered from eating disorders for more than half my life (about 16 years). I have suffered from Bulimia for alot of those years. I am currently getting help and am on the road for a better life. It's easy for people to say " you're new at this and you can just stop". I think we know better. You NEED to talk to someone!! Not necessarily a professional (but preferred). The more people that know the better. I ended up coming out of the closet after my original post (the very same day) and the support system I had was INCREDIBLE! When I told my husband I gave him a book that explains the thought process behind eating disorders. This helped him realize that it was a problem. But please, tell someone. Someone close or a professional. Make a bet with me of who can go the longest without purging. It'll give you something to work toward...a BETTER life! Believe me, this is NOT the way you want the rest of your life to go. And the longer you do this, the harder it is to stop. So how about that bet?

I'll Make That Bet!

I've had a bulemia for 5+ years now and cannot control myself. I have been in and out of various treatments and I have just about given up on doctors and psycologists, its just ME that is the problem. bulemia has robbed me of so much in my life i would give anything to just wake up one day and be cured. but i know thats not possible. i need some motivation to help me take action towards health. does anyone have any ideas/thoughts/ stories that might inspire me? i feel hopeless Sad
