I know I have an eating diorder, and I
struggle every day to overcome it. I wake
up every morning with the idea that today
will be the day I stop. But when I get
just one chance away from soceity, I binge
and then purge, sometimes 4 or 5 times a
day. After that, I decide tomorrow will
be the day I stop for good, but the cycle
continues. I want to stop, I can't live
like this, it consumes so much of my time,
but I can't stop and I don't know what to
do. This has been going on for almost two
years now, and this fall I entered
college. I have always been smart, but I
slack off because i'm always thinking
about the next binge. Can anyone help me?

Hi sweetie, please please please, this has
gone on for well over 2 years you said.
Its time you had some help, because you
can not do this on your own. Been there,
done that. This might scare you, it only
take one time for that little piece of
skin to flip the wrong way, and you will
choke on your own yak......Scary huh?
There are great drs out there that will
help you to relearn to eat nutritious and
balanced meals. This is a psychological
thing as well. I just 46, but did the
same thing you are doing when I was 18
until late 20's. I did not want to be
fat.....But I love to eat. Have
maintained my size 10 and weight. I eat
lots of fruits and veges, drink lots of
water and exercise, including weight
training. You have to take care of your
hon, its the only body you have. You are
too young for this pattern. I wish you
could see what you are doing to the inside
of your young body. I know, I sound like
a mom......Cause I am! We are here for
you, please keep us posted and
please....Start taking care of yourself?
Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your reply to my plea for help was more
helpful then you will ever know. Before I
read it, and for the last two years I have
felt very alone, but your response, a
response of a person who knows what i'm
going thorugh almost brought tears to my
eyes. Someone does care. It is so hard.
If it is possible I would like to ask for
your email, only if your are willing. It
helps to hear from someone that knows.
Thank you for posting on my question, I
appreciate it, and thanks again.

Thank you for replying, but your link
didn't work. If you could give it to me
again, it may help. The page just
wouldn't load. I really need all the help
I can get, so I would appreciate it if you
could send it again.

Hi my name is heather. I was blulemic for
6 years. I loved it but I hated it at the
same time. My binging was all the bad
going in and when I purged all the bad,
evil, whatever came back up with the food
and I felt euphoric. I can tell you you
can't do it by yourself. Bulemia is a
disease and getting outside help was the
best thing I ever did. I won't lie and
say that rode to recovery was easy. It
was hard as hell! It took a couple of
years to go from throwing up 7 or 8 times
a day to nothing. My body was sick. I
could not fight off a simply cold and I
ruined my teeth. Your hair will fall out
and you can damage your esouphogus.
First you have to want to get better for
you. Straight up you are killing
yourself. You need to get a full
physical and make sure no perminent damage
has been done to your body. You need to
find a therapist that you are very
comfortable with (i found a woman easier
to talk to) . You absolutely have to be
100% honest with your doctor. If you
threw up everyday that week you have to
tell them that. They are not there to
judge you. They are there to get you well
and if you lie or with hold info then you
might as well not bother. If you want to
get better you can! I can say that my
life is great now. I don't have to worry
about whether there is a bathroom close by
after I eat. My family is no longer as
miserable as I was. I am happy. This
disease no longer controls my entire life!
