Bulimia
Quote From: kimbere1975My name is Kimber and I have a little known ED. It's called purging disorder. It is unlike the two that most people think make up all ED's, anorexia and bulimia. I actually eat normal portions of food. I do not over eat, eat too many calories etc, but I do periodically (some weeks more than others) purge what food I do eat at least 3 times a week. I do not purge all meals, just one here and there.
I am not a normal weight, I am a bit over weight but not "fat". I don't feel I have a distorted body image. I know I need to lose weight and am working on it. I eat very healthy meals most of the time. When I do feel too full, even after normal portions, or I feel I've eaten something unhealthy I will purge it.
I know there are others out there with this disorder but it's so unknown or talked about. I think everyone would like to think there are only two ED's and stick with that.
Is there anyone else who has or has had this particular disorder? I'm in the exact same boat as you. I dont binge or anything, but I purge. I think I might purge a little bit more than you do though. I probably purge every other day, but on the purging days I purge atleast twice, sometimes up to 4 times on those days. I feel your frustration.
