Ahhhh, it's so nice to find a board that a person can just BE.
Other boards I frequent it feels like you have to want to get better and I'm just not there yet. I just need to lose 6 more pounds, then 10 more, then 10 more and THEN I'll be ready to stop;)

I had mia when I was a teenager then stopped and gained quite a bit of weight. A few months ago I decided to get healthy and lose some weight. Well, actually that's not true. A few months ago I was fretting over seeing some family this summer (looking like a pig) and then my daughter come up to me and said, "Mommy I know why your tummy is so big, it's because you have a big heart.":eek:
A week or two later I decided I needed to lose weight. I started out in a healthy way then started to restrict and not long after mia started whispering in my ear. And here I am b/p ing 2-4 times a week. I know I shouldn't but I can still have my cake and eat it too (so to speak).

Well, thanks if you were able to get through my long post. :D

Welcome,
I am new too. I know how you feel. For me it always starts at getting healthy. I too, need (in my head to look great this summer) I have been working out daily, eating appropriately and then the b/p cycle starts again. It is insane. I am not ready to stop either.

Hello all... I'm new too. I've only been B/P-ing for a few weeks. At first only 2-3 times a week, but several times a day lately. The odd thing is, I'm not all that upset about it. I know it's no joke and a serious problem and that I should probably seek help while it's just starting, before it becomes a deeper habit, but I also like that purging stops me from getting fat. It's the bingeing I need to stop.... that's the really hard part for me.

Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself briefly now. I'll write more later about my story. I'm hoping to learn about bulimia here, from real people, and about the binge eating which brings on my desire to purge. It's making me feel sick and I know it's dangerous that I'm not very alarmed by it.

What is bulimia treatment like from a ED therapsit? Does it help?

best,
Tripoto
