smile like u mean it :)

have u all listened to what ur all saying??
the bulimia section is totally depressing..and triggering.
i know a few ppl who have left here cuz..well it's obvious really i don't have to spell it out.

i know bulimia is a bitch to beat,
and i know that i probably never will beat it,
but when i read how everybody is suffering all i wanna do is cut my eyes out.

so i thought i'd say something positive for a change, even tho i left ages ago.. :/
u guys need encouragement not tips on what food is easiest to purge :(

i haven't b/p for over 2 weeks now :)
and i'm going to keep it up, if i don't well i'm just going to keep on trying until i do beat it.
bulimia is no life..it's hurts me when i hear u guys all suffering.
and i know how much it's hurting u guys..

so i'm back!! and i want to help :)

reading over some of what's been said since i left, i see A LOT of FAKE SMILES.
like when somebody posts how much they weigh now and everybody's like OWWW WELL DONE I LOVE U..
or how easy it is for them to purge..
or when they just can't purge,

ppl are quick to kiss arse but in real life they're crying out every time they read it.
like a lot of ppl wearing a fake smile when u just know that they'll be binging later and feeling like crap..

be honest that's all u need to be..

luff ya ;)

Everything you've said is so true!
Mia is depressing, but so is ana, I agree tho, this section is pretty triggering,
Good post :) xx

Kudos on trying to be positive. Still I have mixed feeling on this. Of course I'm very supportive of people who are recovering or have recovered, but I'm also supportive of those who are working on their weight loss goals and need help. People need support for both. Someone who comes here and wants purging tips should be able to get purging tips. Are we supposed to say, "No go eat something or just stop puking."? We all know that doesn't work. I just think everyone needs support for whatever their goals are and a place where they don't have to feel like outcasts for having this disorder.

By the way congrats on two weeks without bingeing or purging :)

Well done going two weeks without binging and purging, I wish I could have that sort of willpower.
Things have changed since I left, and I miss how it used to be. I wish this life wasn't always so hard, and I honestly want to go back in time and slap myself for ever thinking that starting to purge was a good idea. It is depressing but it's how we cope, and I can quite honestly say I couldn't handle all the crap in this fucked up world without Mia. I guess it is quite sad that I still define this disease as a person, but it just shows just how unready I am to give it up.

tnx all of u and ye i'm really proud of myself, but it's not about me.
and tnx squirt xD

i know that without it u won't know anything, i'm the same, not having mia is something u just can't understand.
and this place is perfect for ppl who have nobody to talk to about it..

but tbh it's the tips and everything that's getting these sites shut down :/
what will u do then??

i know i'd find it harder with nobody at all to talk to..

u can't give it up it's impossible, but if u don't start thinking about it soon..u might never be able to :/

Good post - though I do think that sometimes people just really want to talk about what they really want to talk about, and not what they probably should be talking about.

It's everyone's individual responsibility to push their lives to progress in a productive and positive way.

Hopefully people will read this and get some ideas on positive and encouraging new threads they can create to give us all some stimulating and hopeful, good vibes!
