Hi ppl, how was your day today? It was
loooong for me
(from other topic)i appreciate what your
all telling me I really do but zilbucks
you said yourself you have been through
all this before and so you’ll forgive me
if I say I understand what your saying
and, its like- im not dumb or anything- I
know all the risks of bulimia and
anorexia- but they get pushed to the back
of my head and I couldn’t just stop
wanting to be thin even if I tried?
I feel disgusting if I eat any amount of
food above 300 cals.
(although iam a bit sceptical about losing
weight faster by eating 4-6 meals a day-
by not eating anything in a day it is much
faster and easier and better cos all the
body fat gets eaten away-.)
i will definitely keep you informed and I
will try to be good to my body by not
throwing up or using laxatives cos I no
they put on weight and are very bad and
could kill me that’s why im determined not
to do it anymore.
As for the whole eating thing- im sorry I
just cant go against all ive worked for
and start eating and getting fat now. In
fact im on my second day of my fast and
all is going well - it actually works out
twice as well cos if I don’t eat I don’t
hav to throw up and im still losing
weight! Happy faces all round.
The reason I have to see a counsellor
isn’t for bulimia either, they don’t know
about that, they just know that something
is up with my eating and they think im
depressed or something! Im sick of lying
to the people I love but I just wish they
would leave me alone and let me feel the
way I feel in peace you no? Its like
theyre expecting so much of me. I just
want to run away sometimes.
Thanx for putting up with me and my
whining, this site is like an outlet for
me!
Take care everyone xoxo

Thanks again zilbucks for being there I no
your just offering your help and I didnt
mean to snap I really do appreciate it.
How was your week?
Mine was good up until yesterday. Today
would have been my seventh day of my fast,
but I stuffed it all up yesterday when I
kinda fainted and couldnt even get outta
bed I was so weak and my mum guessed it
was to do with food and made me eat! Wel
I was feelin like crap and I could have
pretended to or argued or something but I
still ruined it I put
the food in my mouth im so
angry at myself im so weak! and then
to make it worse I got totally outta
control and b/p. I
promised myself I wouldnt do it! Arhhh!
Im so upset at the moment I cant stop
crying. Its not just that its everything
I feel like I have nothing to live for at
the moment.
I dont know wat to do with myself
i also saw the counsellor (sigh of relief)
and told her I really dont think there is
a problem and I dont want to talk to
anyone, and she said she was worried but
they couldnt make me (ha ha). So I dont
know whats gonna happen but for now they
are off my back.
Hope everyone is well xoxo

Hayleyjade,
first you obviously have incredible
willpower & self control
& I suspect
that you are extremely bright & probably in
many ways very mature but all that said
you are killing yourself
& you are in denial
. You do need help very very badly &
very very fast.
the question you need to answer is do I
want to die or live?
the way you are going leads to a long slow
agonizing death
, however if you use all that willpower
& self-control you can regain your
health :d :d start to be happy
& have a great life
the choice is yours.

I came across this thread really late, but
I thought i'd post one quick comment.
Hayleyjade, normal eating doesn't mean
becoming fat. You have to stop thinking
that if you eat regularly, you will
automatically become fat! Food is not
your enemy, you need it to survive. And
you are not greedy if you eat, you are a
human and human beings need to eat, just
like we need to sleep, go to the toilet,
have sex etc. It is a natural drive.
Imagine being a nice shape (not stick thin
though!) and still being healthy! It's
not impossible. I am recovering from
bulimia, and I know two other girls who
are, and we eat 4-6 times daily (with
moderate exercise) and are not fat. In
fact, my friend who has been recovering
for a year is very slim and attractive. I
am still battling with a few excess
pounds, but that is because my metabolism
is messed up. I am confident my body wil
be back to normal in about six months.
Recovery is possible for everyone!
Anorexia and bulimia are not ways of
dieting, but you already know that, don't
you.
You will only become fat if you continue
to binge, on top of the normal meals. But
I can tell you that's unlikely to happen,
because once you start eating regularly,
the urge to binge passes eventually. It
will still come, but less frequently, and
by that time you will be able to deal with
it better, because counselling will teach
you to. It is true!!! The reason you
binged after 7 days is because you fasted
and your body was screaming for food.
Don't be surprised if you overate!!! You
need to establish a regular eating plan, I
can tell you it would most likely save
your life.
Like purple said, you need help. Use your
counselling sessions, you may not get
another chance! Counselling saved my
life. But that's because I want to live.
Don't you want to live? I wish you the
best of luck, my heart goes out to you.
