DON'T GIVE UP! I am in the same boat as you, but remember, this is only a temporary relapse, not a collapse. It's not a failure. You are feeling emotionally sick, and you did what you felt you had to to make yourself feel better. Treat yourself as gently as possible and keep your thoughts positive. Try journaling to help with your emotions, get in touch with a school therapist. Just pick yourself up, find a new outlet, and don't beat yourself up. Relapses are common, but as long as you don't just throw the baby out with the bathwater, it's not the end of the line. You aren't alone. You will be alright.

Hi Kathy, regarding your post and worrying about your weight and wanting to look good is more of an issue of "Control" than "food." By the way I am using my Girfriend's account and my name is Jeff. I used to weigh 205 lbs and looked chubby. I was so sick of family members always getting on me about how fat I am and how I need to lose a million pounds. Well a lot of how much you weigh will be determined by heredity and exercise and diet of course. If you want to lose weight, the one thing you have to be careful about is maintaining a normal weight for your height. In my case being 5'10" tall I should be 160 to 165. I made it my personal goal to be in between which I did. A lot of women who suffer from eating disorders do not know boundaries. They keep saying they need to get thinner and thinner. Let me tell you one thing, being thin is great and it makes women feel like they are proud because very few women can be thinner than them. But guys do not like women who look emaciated. Those supermodels you see, most guys would puke upon seeing them in the flesh as most have Eating disorders and look gross! Guys like women who look normal in weight. Me personally I would never date a woman who looked emaciated, absolutely no way! I maintain my weight at 165 and will not allow myself to be more or less. If you are serious about losing weight, cut out all meals outside the home. Restaurants are the worse! Eat all home cooked meals. Stay away from red meat. Each Chicken and fish. Eat lots of fruit and vegatables. If you really want to speed your metabolism up, you should eat something as soon as you wake up. Eat five or six small meals rather than one or two giant ones. I eat 6 small meals a day plus I jog 10 miles every other day, and do weight lifting in between those days. Hope that helped
