recovering from anorexia and bulimia Posted: 11-04-07 20:25pm
Hey I have not wrote on here in over a
year.my old username was brady88,if anyone
is still on here from a few years ago.So
anyways,I am recovering from anorexia and
bulimia.Its been such a hard
struggle.Lately I have been feeling so
fat.ANd I often think about going back to
my ed.it would make me look better,people
would like me better,id be better at my
job.It sounds crazy I know but I feel like
my ed makes me stand out more.I want to
really get back to my dieting ,but for
some reason I have such a hard time.I just
hate looking in the mirror and hate who I
see.I feel like I need to look skinnier so
my boyfriend will pay more attenttion to
me.Oh and btw,I tried posting on the other
topcs for other issues Ive been having,and
they were def not as nice as the people on
this topic.I really need to start posting
more bc no one understands me.Hope
everyone is hanging in there!

HEY!!
Welcome back, remember me? I haven't
posted on here in awhile either but I
sometimes login just to read other posts.
I understand what you mean about feeling
fat and wanting to have your ED to make
you stand out as well as improve other
things in your life. But ask yourself can
anyone but you tell that your body is
somehow different than it was when yuo
were less worried about being good at your
job and getting attention from your
boyfriend.
Recovery has been such a rollercoaster for
me. Almost all summer i was doing so well
and feeling in control and then last week
I purged everyday. The good news is that
I didn't purge today! Yesterday i started
writing a journal to my therapist. For
some reason it really helps me stay on
track with my eating.
Talk to you soon

OMG Hey girl!!!Of course I remember
you!Thats so crazy that you looked at my
post.the main reason i got on here was to
get some advice about pregnancy.I havent
had my period in two months but my blood
work said it was negative.Well anyways,it
made me miss you guys!!!!They def werent
as nice as the poeple on here!lol.I know
this recoverey is hell.I mean I "look
well" but dont always feel it.I try to
stop eating,but then I get so hungry that
I can stop,but not like a binge or
anything.I just need food and I hate it.Im
so scared to purge bc Im scared I wont be
able to stop it.I hated being known as
bulimic,and always wanted to be anorexic.I
know ,I know that sounds so sick but Im
sure you know where Im coming from on
that.And please hang in there,you always
have been so strong!!!And Im so proud of
you that you havent purged today!!!!!!!And
thats wonderful that writing to your
therapist helps.For some reason it has
never helped me but I thouht i would give
it a try by making a new account.btw,you
have a sn?

have you taken another preganacy test? do
you want to be pregnant? The first time I
realized how much I want to have kids was
when I fell in love the first time. The
whole idea of having kids with someone I
loved was amazing.

Nice to Meet U Posted: 11-11-07 19:01pm
hey nice ppl,
i am ex Mia/Ana and now suffer from
bingeing and insomnia.
u seem to be good old friends. great that ppl r so
kind here on the forum. i wrote in my ed
girl diary, how does it come that so
intelligent and loving ppl get ed? and
this question comes to my mind again while
reading ur posts.
i think it is impossible to be very very
skinny without being on a strikt diet. and
a very strikt diet without a huge
motivation gets u back to ed. so it is a
HUUUGE challange, i think
cheers

Hi!
It is interesting that you brought up the
type of people who get eating disorders.
I have been thinking about that quite a
bit in the last couple years. I was
dating a guy who i had not yet told I was
bulimic and he starting telling me how he
once had a bulimic girlfriend. I thought
that was so interesting. He was attracted
to women who were driven and intelligent
and at an increased risk for eating
disorders.

This Is Serious. Posted: 11-11-07 22:11pm
Well I want to eventually get pregnant but
not at this moment.So I have been
purgin/dieting for the past week now.I
cant believe I am relapsing!!!!!!!!!!!I
need to stop now,but it is taking over me
again!!!!!!!!!!Help me girls!!!!!!!!I
pretty much cheating on my boyfriend of 2
years and he forgave me but I think this
is my way of punishing myself for it.I
dont know why all of a sudden I want to
starve myself again.I just did it tonight
and I feel horrible.And your right about
most of the girls who have this problem
are such good people.Its like they treat
everyone else so much better then they
treat themselves.Liek I guss we dont think
we deserve to be treated like we treat
others.I feel so alone right now.Should I
try and wait it out and see if I get
better,or treat this problem right away?I
cant afford to get help again.And I want
to gete skinny so bad.I just have been
feeling so fat and gross when I eat
now.Its been two years since I have
purged,why now do I feel like I need to do
it?Advice please!!!!!<3

Hi, Sammy!
Look, you mustn't see yourself like that -
you're not an object and your value is
inside, not outside. Besides, you have
nothing to worry about, because you're
very nice and kind and beautiful!

Thank you guys for your support.I am
slipping back into my old ways but for
some odd reason it doesnt even bother me.I
mean I hate when my bf gts upset when he
find out that I have purged or what
not,but other then that,Im pretty
content.People are gettng concerned and I
hate it.I wish everybody wuld just mind
their own business and let me live my life
the way I want to live it.Ugh.
