Hey thax i need that today thank you soo much have a good day ~Buffy~

Hello, I'm maureen, 

I'm probably the last person on this board to offer advice to anyone as I have only recently started to come to terms with what I suffer from and am still awaiting to recieve treatment for it and even that thought does not carry much hope in me....however if nothing else, I can say this..............For gods sake TAKE whatever treatment they are offering you and take  it NOW!!!! This illness has cost me friends, jobs, relationships and almost my life...and even that still hangs in the balance......23+years of pure hell ............if you do no other good thing for yourself in your lifetime then take and heed the following words.........................DO NOT END UP LIKE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just thought I'd let you guys know that they have finally arranged my first session with a Psych. this coming Monday.................will let you know how it goes ( or doesn't..!?! ) 

  

On a brighter note...just came back from seeing a good movie..."Stealth"....predictable storyline but terrific effects..........I like a good ' blow 'em up ' movie.........lol 

  

enjoy the weekend you two

I am sooo happy for you!! Good luck!!! Have a good weekend!!! bye for now ~Buffy~

Hello everyone! 

I am AngelkeeperJ. 

I'm new here...first time posting anyway.  I'm a binge eater....never could bring myself to purge...so I just 'beat myself up' with my inner critic after a binge.  If I could just break my sugar addiction, I'd feel better, and look better.  So, why, I ask myself, can't I just quit, or at least have it in moderation?? 

  

I'm 48 and have always dealt with this issue, so you that are younger, keep up the fight! 

Blessings to you, 

Janet

Its bedtime for me now...my pillow beckons..........( yawn! ) 

  

take care

Hello all...First time on here. Wanted to chat with someone having similar problems with bulimia. I have been bulimic for 11 years. I have 2 babies and want to be around with them watch them grow.

It has been 10 days since I used the laxatives. I thought I had this thing beat.I had not eaten for the last 10 days and tonight my ptnr came home with roast chicken and the smell drove me totally crazy. He asked if I wanted any..I said I didn't know........I started to panic..........I sat up here in the office trying to control the incredible hunger I began to have........I tried everything.........and when I thought I had it under control, I went downstairs and another 'me' just took over. The next tihng I knew I was eating like there was no tomorrow. I know, through doing the Atkins diet that there are no carbs in chicken but I just had to put a dressing with it as it was quite dry. Then I had some of the salad he made as well............I just could not stop myself.Thank god he didn't get dessert as that would have been fatal as I now have an unbearable craving for something sweet. At the moment I feel so low and such a failure. I feel so guilty and now I've gone and done it........I can't stand the thought of all that food being in me......I'm sure I will get fat............I'm so ashamed of myself for such weakness when I thought I had it all under control............I had to do something so I've taken a whole packet of laxatives to get rid of it...........Oh god I know the pain tomorrow is going to be unbearable but I deserve it for being so weak.............god I wish I could die right now.

If you want to I would more than welcome having someone to talk to re what we suffer from. I have been Anna/mia for 23+ years and I am now 42. I am finding this very hard going as I have only very recently started therapy to try and combat this. I have to admit I am not very positive at the moment esp. after what happened last night. Please come back here and talk to me. I live in the UK, so there is a time difference but I usually check in once a day. Buffy and Jewel are really nice too and they have been there for everyone who has come here. Hope to see you again.
