sick 3 weeks ago

I am the same way. Ive always hated my body and was always chubby compared to my friends. I got the hips and thighs first, so i felt so insecure. I wasnt even fat to begin with. I am 5’6 and weighed 130 at the most. I weighed 113 at my least. I started middle of freshman year in hs during soccer season and now am a junior in hs. I eat all the time and always say tomorow il start fresh but that just doesnt happen. I always feel weak and disgusting. Nobody knows but my friend and she is sworn to secrecy. I dont even use a toliet beacuse my mom would get suspicous so i have a bucket in my closet that i puke in every night then dump in the toliet when my mom isnt home. I work at a restruant and the food is so tempting. once i start eating i eat till im full and then puke. never can just eat something. im scared im going to be this way forever, but at same time dont want to stop beacuse i dont want to get fat. ive gained weight im now 120 on average days. I dont know what to do…



August 15th, 2008 was the first day I forced myself to throw up. 6 months ago

I’ve been bulimic for 9 months & five days. I’ve been anorexic for god knows how long. 200 or less calories everyday, binging & purging at least twice a day. People know, and people can tell. I’ve gotten down to 85 pounds, but right now I’m around 95.

First it all started over a guy. Silly right? Well, he was telling me how he loved me – while he was fucking my skinny best friend. So I thought, if I become like her, then he’ll love me, right? Well I was wrong, dead wrong.

Now it’s about more than just some guy. Control & appearance are the top two things that keep this horrible disease going. But honestly, I’m addicted. Not one hour do I go without thinking of food or how disgusting I look.

I have mood swings, concentration problems, bad memory, shaking, hallucinating, ruined teeth, stomach ulcers, heart problems. And that’s not even half of it. & The funny thing is, I still do it. After my loved ones have cried over it, threatened to leave or get me help, and even after fainting. I don’t think anything can stop me.

If this doesn’t kill me, I’d be surprised.



Helpmepleaseee is excited to set my goals straight.

It's driving me insane.. 6 months ago

It’s been approx. five to six months i’ve been bienging. I wasn’t even fat to begin with. When I first started I weighed about 125 and I now weigh at a 104 .. i’m very short for my age about 5’ and i’m 15. Right now i think i’m fine just stop . You could just eat healthy. But I can’t I feel disgusted in myself if I keep anything down. . I really need to stop before I become anorexic. I know if I keep going my insides will be torn apart and i’ll internaily bleed. But it’s like my mind has controll now, it keeps telling me your to fat go throw up.. I have a strong relationship with this guy, and i’m to affraid to tell him. I’m scared to see his reaction. I smoke, drink etc and I know none of this is helping… I’m going to die and i’m so scared.

need to........ 10 months ago

I have been binging and purging for the last four years. I just don’t understand how I went my whole life and made it all the way through college without this problem and now I cannot stop. Every single day I am going to stop, but the insane persistant fear of getting fat hangs over my head and the cycle continues…...It is ruining my life. My work, my relationships, my health.
I know it is mind over matter, but boy for some reason that is much harder than it sounds.
I am considering today, day 1. Let’s see if I can make it.



i think it is starting 11 months ago

i;ve always eaten alot.. and i have never been REALLY overweight but a little chubby. last summer i lost a lot of weight by being healthy from exercise and eating right, but right now i dont have time to excercise, so i will eat very healthy during the day, not too little like an anorexic, but probably less than most people eat… then when i start to stress out i devour a lot of food. its always something sweet like cookies or chocolate or ice cream. after eating i feel a sugar rush come over me immediately and i feel so horrible so i will go throw it up. i always have a hard time throwing up so it’s really uncomfortable ..and i naturally develop a lot of tears and my nose gets really stuffy when i throw up so it’s even worse . i feel so guilty because i know that i am not even THAT fat, my clothes range from size 1-4, depending on the brand, but i feel like i look humongous. my stomach is always bulging out and flabby, i just wish it would go away. i have only started throwing up recently, and even though my body hates me for doing so, i can’t help but be comforted by the thought that i might be thinner.. hopefully when i have some time, i can get back on track and go to the gym instead.



Each new day is uncharted territory 12 months ago

Yesterday was my 6 MONTH ANNIVERSARY, and that is longest I have ever been in recovery! I had a great day and did lots of things just for myself. I realized that today and every other day after I am back to a place that I haven’t been in 5 years. It feels fabulous!



well 13 months ago

i’m not sure what i am. Or what im doing, all i know is that when i was in 5th grade all i heard was wispers telling me that im fat. I cryed every night trying every diet. I lost some from growing up. Until one night going into 10th grade i hear “my sister threw up one weekend and lost alot of weight” I think well i can do it loose the weight and stop. But here i am 4 months later, and stil finding myself binge eating then throwing it all up.

I dont want to go to a clinic being only at age 15. I dont want people to stare at me, only one of my friends knows and i told her i stoped… i dont lie, but this got me to. I didnt think i had a problem until i read a website saying no matter how long youve been doing for it, i could die. I DONT WANT TO DIE! I know that i probably wont, but all i want is to be skinny.

I wake up and think ew my stomach and arms. Then in class i touch my stomach and think ew. I cant control myself with food, it sometimes seems to be one of the only good things in my life. I cant change a grade on my report card but i can put something delicious in my mouth. Then later feel the regret but at that very moment i was happy.

I dont have a boyfriend, or anyone that is even relativly interested in me. This i think is reason why i started, i dont want to be lonley & i think i am beacause im fat.

I noticed yellowing to my teeth and didnt think of it. But now i know its from the acid. I want to stop but i want to be skinny more than anything. I only do it about twice or three times a week, depending on when i have hunger spurges. I didnt think that was a problem, but i now i know it is. I need to talk to someone the thought of how many calories consumes my day, and if or if not im going to workout, or WHY DID I EAT THAT COOKIE?
this is taking over who i am.



5 months in 13 months ago

I hit my 5 month anniversary on Oct. 18, so Thanksgiving will be just after 6 months and Christmas will be just after 7 months. Those will be very tempting holidays, but I am optimistic about my progress. I think about it less and less every day. That book truly helped me save my life!



Untitled 13 months ago

I don’t know why I am doing this but whatever here goes.
I figure I am writing this because Ih ave read all of your stories and I can relate to each and everysingle one of them.
I have been an on and off bulemic for over a year now and I hate it. I know that its wrong but I just can’t stop. My bestfriends all know about my problem and they tell me its wrong but I just can’t stop. It’s like when they tell me its wrong I get so upset because they have no idea what its like to hate your body. I get so pissed because I feel like they are on a pedastool looking down on me.
It’s not like I wanted to become bulemic. Its the same with the other girl I just get into these trances of eating and eating just so I could purge, and god I feel so much better after I do it. I just feel so relieved. But after it I tell myself no more eating. Tomorrow eat one small meal, or only drink water. But then the next day I do the same thing. It’s gotten to the point where if I don’t purge I feel like I am going out of my skin.
I am going to stop. I want to. I want to be healthy and skinny the right way. I have already started doing yoga and running, and I just don’t want to purge. I don’t want to hide in the bathroom with the taps running. I want to be proud of my body and say that I earned it the right way.
I hope the next time I write I will be better, and I hope that all of you are better.
Your stories really have meant alot to me knowing that I am not the only one doing this.
