Am I Bullimic ?
Posted: 06-13-07 06:42am

hi. i am 28 years old , married for 4 years.i am 5-5, auburn hair fair complexion green eyes. they say i am good looking. problem is that after one baby,i carry 190 pounds on my frame which means i am FAT! i feel depressed, disgusted with myself. everyone says that i am going to waste my youth this way if i dont lose it and then i'll regret it. they are right. i love my husband who is quite a hunk. he is also very athletic and well built, on top of that he is obsessed with slim figures. i am feeling etremely desperate now u see about a couple of months ago i found out he has profiles on adult chat sites. when i confronted him with it, he said it was nothing serious and only wanted to explore his sexuality. since that episode, my sex drive has nosedived, another strain on are already mild sex life. he also hinted that the reason that he doesnt want to make love much was because i had become obese. since then i have been making desperate attempts to lose weight. my efforts work for a little while and i lost weight but i stopped exercising when i started getting depressed. i feel ugly, unattractive and loathsome. i am desperately trying to lose weight to some extent i have been succesful but i habitually binge on something. afterwards i feel extremely guilty and unhappy. lately, when i binge on something sweet or high calorie, i go into the bathroom and induce vomiting otherwise i feel too depressed. i have done it 5-6 times. am i bullimic or becoming one? what should i do?

sounds like your heading down the pathway to bulimia, id seek help before it gets out of hand. Also try working with a nutritionist to set up meal plans etc. It doesnt help with your husbands atitude towards you, i have 2 kids and am not as skinny as i was when we met but he knows my past with eating disorders etc , and he is fine with me how i am but im not fine with it. But i would def try and get some sorta help before you wind up with full blown bulimia. in the sticky are you or aloved one suffering there are alot of side affects caused by bulimia that are worth the read so id check that out as well.

No one's life is worth going deeper into a disorder. You're in time to change that, by taking some actions and by getting help - professional help, family help, friends help.

Hi/ my dear,

would you stop having sex with your husband if he had gained as much as you did? if your answer is no, be sure he is a worse person than you are and dont need to care much about his attitude.
Now think: are you, apart from your husband, yourself satisfied with your body, life? think what would you like to change in your life, there are many more challenges out there. If you make yourself feeling guilty and then force your body not to eat and exersice I guarantee as a former anorexbulemica you wont hold on long. Plan your mentall and other work goals for a day and by the way think of getting satisfaction from your meals just watching you get less food than you would have if you wished to put on some pounds.
you know i am selebrating my release from vomoting. 4 months now i am free. i have binge cravings, but god, thank you for supporting me on my way out of bulemia. somehow i shall loose my pounds day by day. a rapid weight loss is bad for your skin anyway.

please dont do it, dont start, because you shall waste your youth in fighting it . no one is worthy of that sacrifice, your man as well.


best
