| i think my binging will probably be under control when i move out on my own. i'm in college now and still living with my parents to save money so basically i eat whatever my mom buys when she goes shopping. i can eat really healthy (fruits, veggies, etc) some days but other days when i'm at home and bored or just procrastinating from studying i'll just eat. then i feel like i have to exercise it off. my mom doesn't think i eat enough because i'm thin and she thinks i could gain weight but i know i'm a normal weight (6'4'', 175). when i move out i will probably buy less food and won't have so much around. plus i won't be able to exercise it off as much since i usually just use our elliptical. but until then, i just need to find ways to eat properly even with all this food around me. | ||

aio, I totally know how you feel.
Like exactly. Now, I swear to God, I have an emotional binging problem or something. No matter how much I know about losing weight, and how good I am at trying to change my lifestyle, I cannot get over the binging business. Just today I binged like effing mad, and it was because I felt so ditched and alone because of my friends. Can anyone relate to that? Please...I really need help with this. Message me? |

| It's so comforting to know of others who have the same problems with binging. The only difference with me is that I purge after binging. I'm not sure if you have the same difficulties. Nothing I eat can stay down. I binge because I'm depressed, lonely, sad, stressed. Sometimes I don't even know why I binge. Sometimes I binge just so that I can throw up. It gets really out of control sometimes. I've been struggling with bulimia and anorexia for almost 5 years now. I'm at a very low weight right now, but I still feel so fat and disgusting. I never thought at 86 lbs, I could feel this fat. I need help to stop the binging and purging. I know what helps, it's just a matter of following through with it. Sometimes it's just way too hard and the binger inside takes over. :( I would love to hear from others with their struggles. We can help each other. :) Good luck everyone! | ||

dear everyone,
does anyone ever feel so helpless?Like they know that binging is bad and have heard of strategies to prevent it yet at the back of your mind, you badly want to binge and eat until the cows come home? I used to be anorexic, then i became bulimic for a while. i was 33kg and now i'm 53kg gaaaaaaaaaaaah....my mum fully got me upset because today she asked how much i weighed and i felt so fat and disgusting. Everyone watches me eat and makes sure i eat junk food coz they worry i will be relapsing but it's soooo opposite. I know exactly how to lose weight and how to prevent diarrhoea by avoiding dairy coz i'm lactose intolerant and ironically i want to be a dietitian!!! YET I'M STILL BINGE EATING. My mum just said to eat less and you'll lose weight. As if! ITS NOT THAT EASY. my counsellor who specialises in eating disorders has blew me off for months now coz she's really ill and i have no idea how to find another person near me at an affordable price. I'm still taking prozac and still slitting my wrists and i just feel like such a pig. NO one in my life understands me. i wish i was like them. To eat and stop when they're full and eat when they're hungry and think about other stuff than calories and food. Whenever i put a thing in my mouth, my head is calculating calories! I feel so fat, having to change my whole wardrobe coz i've gone up a size and avoiding the camera and it's winter so its too cold to exercise. I seriously just hate the feeling that i want to binge even tho it's wrong. I wanna be a dietitian, i noe how to eat healthy, i noe how to lose weight, and how many kj's i need daily yet i'm MAKING MYSELF FAT!!!! slittlepeace, i sympathesise for you. I do binge so that i can purge because i feel so much better after i purge but i've been getting opened coldsores from it and it exhausts me so i've tried avoiding it. i haven't purged in 2 weeks :) Good luck to you too Tee |

Dear lil_t88,
First and foremost, CONGRADULATIONS on not puring in two weeks! That's amazing. That is a huge accomplishment. Give yourself credit!!! I completely hear you when you say that sometimes you actually want to binge. And like you, I've heard all the tips and strategies to avoid binging and I know exactly what I need to do to eat healthy, but... It's just NOT that easy. When I feel hopeless with this cycle, I always try to remember tomorrow is a new day and I can create a new life for myself. This is One thing I've done when a binge and purge session took over. I got in the shower for a second time and changed my clothes and started my day over. BAM! Brand new day with that b/p behind me! It may not help much, but it's definately worth a try. Please don't give up! I believe you can fight this. You have the strength somewhere inside you. Try to bring it out little by little everyday. Good luck! :) |

| lil_t88, i totally agree with you. today i woke up and just binged :(. had a banana (100) & choc. pudding (60) - should have stopped there but no, had about 5 leftover perogies (250?), few bites of cantaloupe (20?), a fiber one bar (140), all bran crackers (300?), small thing of cottage cheese (120), some baked lays (100?), a few mini rice cakes (40), and finished a box of cereal (350?), all before noon - total probably between 1450-1500 cals :(. ugh. now i definitely need to exercise. i wish i could purge, but i just can't bring myself to do it. i know it probably had to do with me only having about 1000 cals yesterday, plus boredom. i just can't bring myself to eat normally, although that's all i really want to do. i just feel like laughing right now because this is getting so old - i'm either binging or eating barely anything. i'll try to eat light the rest of the day and hopefully it'll wind up being only around 2000 cals, which won't be that bad although i wish it was less. damn i hate this :( | ||

mikeiscool,
I know that feeling. It's not easy either, but the best thing you can do (so I've heard) is to continue your day as regular as you can. To not slow your metabolism or make yourself hungry, eat a normal amount the rest of the day. If you try to compensate for overeating this morning, it will only continue the cycle. I wish it was easier said than done. I know I do the same thing after I binge. Either purge, exercise, restrict, or starve. But, the best way to cease the cycle is by continuing your day as you normally would. Give your body the nurishment it needs. Your body will level itself out. Trust your body to do what it needs to do to make it healthy. |

quoting person above me "gaaaaaaaaaaaah....my mum fully got me upset because today she asked how much i weighed and i felt so fat and disgusting. Everyone watches me eat and makes sure i eat junk food coz they worry i will be relapsing but it's soooo opposite." oh my goodness. i randomly scrolled down on the page and read MY LIFE STORY. i was anorexic this past winter, and just recently gained over 30 pounds in under 3 months :( but... guess what? i havent binged since last night! not all day! im scared though. two days ago, i had a good day. then yesterday, i was bad again. if i can break the chain for two days in a row, i think i might make it to 7 days. i have a chance. (my biggest goal in my life right now is to not binge for 7 days straight. its been months since ive had even 3 days off... i might be pushing it, but i KNOW i can do it) good luck everyone. we CAN feel healthily-hungry again. someday, i will hear my body, and i will be "normal" again. |

thanks so much slittlepeace. i tried to get back to normal. exercised for about an hour. hopefully got rid of a lot of those calories. looking forward to a new day tomorrow.
julia_rose and ilove2sail, i have been doing the same exact thing this week - 1 day binge, 1 day normal, 1 day binge, 1 day normal, etc. It just seems like it's destined to happen - and then it does. Yesterday was my good day, so of course today had to be a bad day. I just wish I wouldn't have given in :( But tomorrow and the next day will be good days. I will not give in again. As always, good luck everyone. |

| julia-rose, I know exactly how you feel. Last summer I became anorexic. Before then, I was a binge-eater for about a year or two. I had never been overweight but I was gaining steadily. During my anorexia I lost about 30 pounds and I have gained back 35 back because of my binging. I feel so gross. Today was pretty bad. I probably came in around 2200 calories. But I have found that on days when I am very busy, I don't have time to binge, so I end up eating less. | ||

my binges are bad if i can total under 3000 i used to not consider it a binge because that would honestly be a good day but today i had a REAL good day, like a normal person i had shrimp, and corn on the cob, and random healthier things, not like a million pieces of bread with chocolate syrup and the other random things i used to binge on (actually, we ran out of the syrup.) PLEASE GOD dont let tomorrow be a bad day i CAN do this. i just want to be normal... i just want to not hurt anymore i had cheerios today. they make me happy. is that okay? my mom used to yell at me if i would say that food made me happy. but eating out with friends would control my binges, and being around people made me happy, not lonely and depressed... cheerios make me not hungry and faint, but not sick either, i put 1 cup of them in a tupperware and ate them while walking around the U of M. i wish i could eat with people. not alone, in my kitchen, every day. i envy people who sit down to dinner with their families. so much. but... my mom bought me wheat bread. that's cheerful. good luck everyone ;) |
