Hey how are you doing ? I hope that you are having an ok time.Have you tried getting help for your ed ? I know it seems like a very scary prospect but to be honest,you need help to get through this.It is too hard and too big to beat on your own.And you shouldn't have to.I bet there are lots of people who love you and want to help you through this.And you can make it through.It will seem hard and you will fall along the way but the most important thing is that you pick yourself up,brush off your knees and keep going.Please get some help.You don't deserve to be living in this hell.Take care xx

It is not anyone's 'destiny' to be bulimic. That is just a cop-out! You can change it if you want to badly enough. Your body is being weird because of the starving, binging & purgiing.

Get help & be willing to eat regularly (i know that's easy to say & hard to do, but that's the only way). If you follow a sensible meal plan you won't get fat & you'll get your life back.

I was severely bulimic & anorexic for more than 10 years & now I wish I hadn't waited so long to get over it. I kept telling myself that I would stop...Tomorrow, or next week, or at christmas. Well, that magic day never came.

This is a tough disease but there is hope. I've been in recovery for years now & I love my life. You can do it! Just stop making excuses & get help!!!

of Course It's Not About Weight!

No, I didn't mean to say that you are superficial. No, it's not about weight...Anorexia is way more complicated than that. I know for me it is about control & about being a 'perfect person' , and being thin was part of that but only a small part. I also like the feeling of starvation ~ it made me feel powerful & special.

But this is a dangerous feeling & can lead to death. Anorexia has the highest death rate of any mental illness. I have some friends who died of this. Please get help. It is very serious & not many people understand it.

There is hope. Recovering is worth the effort.
