Q: Bulemic For 5 Months Help!!

Ok, so I really need help recovering. I don't want to live my entire life this way, I need to find a way out before I get trapped. Although, I feel already trapped so I really need help and support!!! I binge and purge almost every day anywhere from 2-5 times a day. My hearts beats are definitely NOT normal, I feel dizzy and weak all the time, and my period is gone. I'm scared for my health, I heard about a girl who had a heart attack and died after being bulemic for only 5months. I'm only 17, I can't keep killing myself!!

I was on the sort of anorexic for about 2 years and I got down to 80lbs, at 5'2. I was constantly thinking about food, counting calories, fat, etc. I allowed 1,200cals a day and I NEVER went above that, and i worked out for three hours almost everyday. But then when people saw how skinny I was everyone was trying to make me gain weight. They basically force fed me. I'm now 105lbs at 5'5. Ever since people started forcing me to eat, I got in the habit of bingeing and it turned into bulimia. Now my issues are way more intense, bulimia is taking over my life!

I'm hoping someone can help me get healthy again. Maybe a meal plan?? My body needs so many things right now, potassium, magnesium, etc. does anyone know what I should eat to get my body healthy again? I think that if i start eating balanced and allow myself to have some treats now and then, it will help me to stop binging and purging. please help i dont know where to start!!

The only thing I ever wanted to be was a mother.... when I was 16 did a lot of throwing up, I would lock myself in the bathroom and throw up. My dad started banging on the door one day, (hes a health teacher) he put me in the car and took me to the doctor..... The doctor had a lot of things to tell me about how it will affect me, but theone thing that made me quite was when she told me that by doing that to my body There would eventually be a LARGE chance that I would not be able to have children. I am now 23 and I have NEVER done it again. I work out and eat right and I am in the best shape of my life. Its a lot of work but you'll feel so much better about yourself and your body if you are healthy. Make a plan to help yourself and then you can use your experiance to help others in your position.
