Angel, saying another day of purging won't kill you is an attitude you do not want. People die from purging, so please please try to stop. You might have a lot of problems stopping, and you're gonna wanna do it again, but giving in is the worst thing you can do.

Telling your parents is a good thing to do...They might be mad, but they will also care about you and try to help you. I'm glad to hear you're trying to quit.

God, I know exactly how you feel.

I spent 10 years telling myself that I would quit tomorrow, or in the new year, or on my birthday, or whenever. I really felt like I couldn't stop ~ I didn't even care if I died because I couldn't imagine life without my binging & purging. But it got out of control ~ I became a walking skeleton & I went into treatment for a year. I wasted so much time & money on this disease!

The good new is that today I am free of bulimia, have been for over 2 1/2 years now. I wouldn't do it again now for anything. There is a way out~a long, hard road, but worth it. First of all, tell someone ~ get help. I had a doctor, a dietician, and a support group to help me.

Right now you probably can't see how this is hurting you, but it is. Don't flush your life down the toilet.

I know it is hurting me cause ike 5-10 minutes after I purge I swear I can feel my heart about to just beat out of my chest and the back of my throat burns after I purge it's just I think I am in denial with myself. And I really dont want to admit that I am like I get to the point were I wanna go and tell my mom but I know how she will react yeah. And she procrastinates on everything and I don't have insurance right now so knowing her itll take like 2months before she would acctually get me back on insurace I don't wana tell her and then her not be able to do something about it right away though cause she would like get all paranoid like after I ate and left the room she would probably follow me and I just don't want that though.
