Stop binging and purging

I really want to do this to. I’ve been trying to stop for 10 months. It’s been hard as i really don’t have support from by family or friends (as everyone doesn’t want to talk about it and i’m a really independant person). It’s really difficult, I don’t really binge anymore but just purge a few times a month. It’s good to know i’m not going through it alone though. We can all do it.

...done this in some decent number of weeks. Sweet. :)

It’s got to be the most retarded and self-defeating behavior out there, and I take part it in. I really should get professional help, I’m just not sure where to start. It will probably be expensive. Sigh.

So, I just stumbled upon this website, as part of my daily routine of trying to find inspiration online on how to quit binging and purging. I don’t know how I never came across it.

I am so destructive, and it’s amazing the motivation I will have for like two days at a time; eat healthy, small portions, exercise, take my vitamin, and then after a few days, I just wake up, and I know exactly what that day is going to be about. And I crash, and I can’t figure out what sets it off.

Seriously, I’ll go to bed one night fine, and wake up with that same shit in my head. And I know I’ll hate myself in a couple of hours, but I’m unfeeling toward it till after. I’m really lost as how to begin quitting for good. Or even for a whole week.

Today, after going for 6 days with healthy eating and no bingeing and purging, I went to the grocery store and bought food, took it home, and spent the entire day bingeing and purging. It’s sick because it was the most beautiful day we have had this spring. I am determined! This has got to stop!!!

I obsess about my body. I crave sweets. I binge and purge approximately twice weekly and feel miserable because I do this. I quite drinking 10 months ago (I was a beer drinker), and attend AA meetings in order to focus on a 12-step method for alleviating my addictions to food, Diet Coke, and refined sugars. I drink far, far, far too much Diet Coke as my coping mechanism to keep me from eating. My goal is use this summer to focus on my health. I need help. I need a support system. I need to learn how to resist the urge to binge on sweets and/or constantly have something in my mouth to soothe my stress and anxiety. I am on meds for depression and anxiety/OCD. I am in therapy and have found it to be helpful in understanding how to work with my thinking skills and habits, but I’ve been in the throes of bulimia for 26 years – old habits die hard. I’m at a point in my life where I have to make a change. This forum is my place to post my daily struggles, thoughts, and hope that I can find a support system. I need supports!

I just finished a binge but I am making sure it is the last on ein a 54 day goal of no binging and purging.

I am sooooo unhappy with myself. I’ve been trying to quit this habit for like the past 4 years. Before the binging and purging, I restricted my calories quite a bit…usually not eating until 7pm or so. I would measure out everything…even ate out of measuring cups. I’m gaining weight now…and all I can think about is how great it was when I was calorie counting. My boyfriend and I moved in together…he knows about my problem, but I try not to do it around him…I’ve failed a few times though. I’ve started doing it at work daily…and I’m certain my co-workers are not idiots. I just ate a Bear Claw in the bathroom stall…how discusting…but didn’t want to stop. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

its been quite a while that i have been bulimic.
i can make myself not eat for about 24 hours and then i get so hungry that i lose control. i eat whatever i see. Once i feel full, i start purging.

I loose weight but then gain it back. Every single week, i loose and then gain. i hate it! i need someone that can help me with this.

I think this is in my mind, I am hungry all the time. I eat very healthy foods but I don’t stop I keep eating and eating then its off to the bathroom. And I am still gaining weight, I just can’t seem to stop this behavior. I wish I could help myself and others stop. If you read this just know you are not the only one that is in pain.

this site is new to me. i just need help. i need this to stop. i have gone amazing places and been in amazing opportunities, but i always ruin them by binging and purging. right now i am abroad and instead of going and learning about the city i am in i hole myself up and binge and purge. i am gaining weight and i hate it, which just perpetuates the problem. please, if you have any ideas to help me, i really need them.
