From my experience I can say that love
helps, it may not be solution but it
supports and gives you a feeling of peace,
satisfaction...most important is to feel
that you are loved with those excess
weight that you think you have.
Understanding of this unconventional love
makes u think twice before u purge: what
for am i doing this, i shall be loved any
way!!!
And this works at some level, but there is
also a risk of you getting dependant on
the relationship and u end up with double
dependance. This happend to me. I started
binge/purging after being anorexic because
i was lonely and had many exams. Later in
a relationship that i believed would help
me, really did so (eventhough i did not
tell him about my ed). But as soon as smth
went down in the relationship i started
b/p, and everytime we got along well i was
ok and then again down....
The most important is to believe in
yourself and believe that even if you are
not as skinny as you wish it is better to
be living than to die from purging.
So, if your girlfriend is busy binging
and purging, tell her she can eat as much
as she wants, because you adore her
whatever size she becomes. She should
understand that the only thing about ED
you worry about is her health, u dont want
her die. Eat healthy food with her, let
her gain some weight, visit a
nutritionist. With healthy food and normal
exersize she will be in a perfect form
after a while.
