Q: Taking Me Over

I thought I was going good. I was going good. I was in a position where, if I felt like having a 0 (no binge or purge) day, I could. I have been on holidays for the last 2 months and most of the time, all I have done is just been on my computer and eaten. I have gained so much weight. Im so scared when I go back to school, people will laugh at me. Its not just me thinking ive gained... Everyone can see it. My best mate (also bulimic) says that I have, but not in a mean way, not at all, just in a, its a good thing way. I hate it. I hate how I have to binge everyday and again, somedays are 2 days. Its really getting me down.

It is hard. I know it is. I feel fat most of the time too, but it sounds like really you aren't fat, you just arent as thin as you want. Baby steps though, if you can lose weight in a healthy way, you can start to understand what a healthy weight is. If you can't lose weight in a healthy way, maybe you don't need to.... I don't know if that helps. You are beautiful... Ask your roomate.

I know exactly how you feel.

I was doing very well.
And then boom..I can't go one day without binging and purging.

And I am gaining so much weight.

I had reached my goal weight..And now i've blown it all too hell.

I am going to keep fighting though.

We are way too strong to give into something like this..

Good luck.
