Q: Help! I Can't Stop This Monster Within.

I'm anorexic/bulimic, and I am battling this moster within for 20 years. I'm in counseling, and it seems to be helping a little.
I was doing good with staying away from the bulimia, however, last night my father decided to tell me I ate to much because I was eating some cookies and milk. He bet me $100 that he ate less than I do, and then told me that I needed to lose my ass. I threw up I was so upset. I had not threw up in 6 months. Now, i'm scared to eat anything because everytime I eat something it ends up in my throat, and I have to get rid of it.

I can't make myself eat any more. I know I suppose to for health reasons, but i've just lost hope. Please, if anyone has any suggestions on beating this monster let me know.

Thanks
pebbles

Sometimes our family members are the last to realize how harmful their words can be. Don't listen to everyone else, listen to your own heart. It sounds as if you know you have a problem and you need help, now you just have to make a commitment to do something about it. Funny, if I could only take my own advice!
