I Thought I Recovered ~ want to fast ? Posted: 11-21-07 17:12pm
Hi friends,
some of u may know my story.
I have Not purged like almost a year now
and real bulimic binges became strange to
me.
I felt myself so self confident.
now when i am so good, have a slim, rather
skinny body and healthy oriented thinking,
i decided to fast-----yes FAST for 3 days
and a half and my fast starts tomorrow. I
tell myself i do this for cleaning my body
(fast is a religious ceremony but in a
popular understanding it is a food
restriction, almost going without food.i
mean the latter).
however i feel there MAY EASILY BE an
anorexic one inside me forcing me to
decide on that....u know why?---HOLIDAYS
are coming and i AM TO loose those few
pounds to be model skinny????????
On the other hand just 3 days fast is good
for the body. BUT I DONT tRUST SUCH
TEMPTATIONS ANY MORE, OR CAN I GO SAFE
WITH THIS decision?
I DO NOT KNOW, WHAT TO THINK ABOUT IT, AM
I BACK OR JUST MY ORGANISM NEEDS A CLEAN
UP?
I NEED UR OPINION, PLS WRITE
BEST

Fasting is good spiritually and
physically. Yes u should do it. Try to
think u are doing it for religion and not
anorexia so it has a meaning. Just think u
can starve any time but for ur religion it
is certain times so give this time to ur
higher power. One thing to remind u is
when u can eat again DO NOT overeat, eat
just a little in the beginning just to
ease the hunger then u'll be able to eat
normal. go for it ur religion is more
important than the way u look, God will
love u regardless!

I think since you say it is food
restriction NOT religious, I would go
carefully. Someone who loves me a lot
told me it was really important for me to
think of my body as on loan from God and I
could show appreciation for the gift by
taking good care of myself. Since every
hour of every day your body uses energy,
it only makes sense to give it some
energy. I like the idea of eating lightly
and healthy to keep your body looking and
feeling good. May need to have a talk
with the anorexic one to find out the
truth for yourself if you're heading into
anorexia again. Seems like you may
already know, just having trouble facing
it. Hang in there.
