yes i have experienced many of those. I wasn't overweight I was 110 at the most i think and I'm 4'11. I went down to 84lbs. Now I am 97. I was obsessed with losing weight I still am but decided to eat healthy and exersize. I don't eat out much and still after meals like thanksgiving I want to vomit but can't because I stopped purging a while ago so it doesn't come so easy. I also heard women have problems getting pregnant if they do and i want kids someday. I am so proud of myself that i no longer am bulimic it sucked. I overcame it on my own. I try not to overeat because since i have been bulimic I'm scared of what i'll do so i try to stay away from feeling like i ate to much. When i lost weight quickly people noticed and when i wouldn't eat and they tried to force me. Eating still leaves me with regrets. If i haven't eaten all day and have a healthy low calorie sandwich and eat it slow i actually enjoy it. I try to eat soups, yogurts and no greasy salty or buttery stuff.

I am very happy about your success. I think you are an inspiration to girls on here that are damaging their health. I would rather workout and watch what I eat then purge. Exercise is great for getting weight off, and it makes you feel good.
