Is It Normal Not to Binge Before Purging? Posted: 05-24-05 07:04am
I've just realised from this forum that I
don't ever really binge eat, then throw
up. I throw up just regular meals, I
don't like the thought of my body
absorbing too many calories, it stresses
me too much to binge because the thought
at the back of my mind would be what if I
didn't get all the calories out. I was
just wonder whether anyone else felt this
way...

Yeah I am kind of in the same postion. I
am borderline anorexic too...So this may
be the reason. I also worry very much
that if I eat too much when I throw up I
might not get all the calories back out.
So don't worry you are not alone...Take
care.

Yeah - I do that. Sometimes I really feel
the need to eat somethign like icecream,
but it isnt binging - its just eating a
little bit of a 'naughty' food. I
sometimes chew 'naughty' food then spit it
out, but if not I eat it then make myself
sick. This is because I always seem to be
hungry, but don't want to put on weight.

Everyone's ed is different, so it's not
beneficial to compare your behaviours to
other peoples. I know that I have gone
against any of the stereotype ed
philosophies - be that behaviours (i
binged on cheese when I was younger, for
crying out loud), recovery etc. Just the
mere fact that you are suffering is what
matters.
At the end of the day, the ed is not who
you are - it is not what defines you as a
person!
