Hey ashley,
how are you? I hope you're ok. You will
find many people going through the same
thing you are on this forums.
I can relate to you especially about the
fact that bulimia can go out of control.
Like they say, its not what you're eating,
it's what's eating you. An e.D. Can get
out of control and start taking over your
life.
I know you probably do not want to hear
this but bulimia leads to heart problmes,
dental problems, organ dysfunction and too
many to list. Not to mention it depresses
you beyond words.
I used to be borderline bulimic and I
never went to a Dr. For it. Instead I
have been trying to recover myself. I
would urfge you too see a professional
counselor about this but I totally
undertsand your situation.
Sometimes the best thing to do is to
control bingeing is to find another
activity you like to do. If you feel like
bingeing ask yourself is this worth the
calories and the vomiting that's going to
come next? Is bulimia worth it?
Thanks for taking the time to read this
hun, hope it helped a little. I know I
was kinda rambling :lol: sorry its so
long. Pm me if you want to.
"everyhting will be all right in the end
and if it is not all right, it is not the
end."
ps- read some of the other posts on the
forum, you may find answer and advice.
:)

Some Advice... Posted: 06-16-05 17:20pm
I had been bulemic for a month and I
stopped bingeing 6 days now. I am doing
ok, I still have some blurps caused by the
regular vomitting I had been doing.. I
feel like the canal or tube or whatever
it's called that's connecting my throt to
my stomach had been enlarge and open so
that's why I suspect I have those blurps
still coming often. (for the 6 days I
stopped vomitting my meals, I had been
keeping myself busy watching tv hanging
with friends.... Reading..) try not to
think of it! The more you think of it the
more you'll have the tendancy to do it.
And forget the weight obsession, if you
're appreciated, you should be with extra
or no extra pounds.. I had been bulemic
for a month and I started to hate myself
and think of hurting myself at times..
Now, what I did is tried to control myself
from eating a lot.. Since most bulemics
would most likely eat a huge portion of
food at night and throw it up after, I
tried to eat smaller quantity which wont
make me throw up inspite of it..
Eat healthy foods, not very very healthy
though.. You could have a low-fat muffin,
some milk.. Some yogourt.. Something
smooth on your stomach ok.. And dont eat
much dont eat much.. So you could help
your stomach shrink tback to normal..
Cause with the huge quantitty we put in at
a time the stomach just bloats till it's
about to explode and then we throw up.
That's what I used to do.. And though I
worked out.. I still had a big stomach, I
looked like a rat, thin legs and arms and
big stomach...
Eat small portions, you ll starve a bit
but hey at least it will help you prevent
vomitting caused by the huge quantity of
food...
I was bulemic for a month or 5 weeks. And
I stopped 6 days ago, it's not an easy
thing to do.. But eat less and you ll
help your stomach go back to normal.. And
hey, drink some beptop besmol or gavisgon
, it'll soothen your stomach...
Pm me if u want, I was in that sh..T and I
am struggling through it.

Everyone here is going through the same
thing as you, in their own ways. I'm not
going to give you any advice, cos poetmcc
did a pretty good job of saying anything I
would say. I just wanna let you know that
I know how bloody hard it is, and that
this forum can really help make you feel
like there is hope. Um, please keep your
chin up, we all know how it feels! Xoxo

Thank you very much for anwering I was
sort of doughting that anyone would like
really most people just tell me eat it
isn'e that simple and from your replies I
noticed that most of you agree and it is
very reashering the thing is that for me
it is not about being thin and pretty it
is about so many other things i've went
threw that caused me to believe and think
that food is bad and un pure I feel dirty
when I eat so I can't eat and when I do I
make myself sick and drink a lot of water
cause it gives me the sensation of being
clean again
thanks

The sooner you address the problem and try
to get rid of it, the easier it is!!! I'm
so happy for you, that you are getting out
now. And do get out now. Eat small and
stuff, just like you are doing. Don't
allow yourself to get back in, it may be
more years b4 you get out and eds are not
glamorous or fun.... Mostly, it's
complete withdrawl from society, and
self-abuse, and it's hard to have
relationships or let anyone close to you,
hard to explain why you're not eating...
Again...
Anyway, it's no fun. 7years of
expirience, and the only reason I started
was that someone would notice I was
suicidally depressed!!! They didn't, and
anorexia took on a life of her own. It's
terrible. Even when i'm 'better' by my
standards, i'm still not normal or ok or
not thinking about food altogether. It's
so much a part of me now that I don't
think i'll ever be free or see food
normally again.
So, huge hugs!!! Keep going straight
forward, walking away from this hell!!!
I'm so happy for you, and I wish I had
done the same. I wish, everyday, I had
just never started, just been stopped
early. Congrats!!!
