I'm ready to admit, I need help.

[Miranda Fae]

I started throwing up once a month or so and that was quite a while ago. Now, i throw up two to three times a day. I need to know ways to stop because I think I need it and I can't stop but I want to...I'm addicted. If anyone is willing to help, I'd be forever thankful.

I am also bulimic but now 'only' suffer a few times a week, sometimes once in two weeks and hoping to get over it completely soon! I am 29 now, planning to have a baby soon and really really want to stop this.

I was once in the same situation like you, purging several times a day. It's a vicious circle. The more you overeat, the more you purge, the more you want to overeat because your blood sugar drops rapidly, then goes up rapidly as you overeat. You don't lose weight because you still take in calories, your skin and teath deteriorate and your eyes and cheecks get puffy, you get irritated, exhausted, sad and very very desperate. Yes, I have been there and no more!

What helped me was a change and someone to talk to. Try to do something different, go away somewhere, where you know you can not overeat. Plan your week so that you do not have the opportunity to overeat and purge. Go to a cinema after work or visit a friend. It is important that you get distracted by other things and do not thing about this. You can also find a friend you think would understand or chat to someone on a forum when you feel unwell. What also helped me and in fact, still helping me, is to listen to a self-hypnosis CD to overcome mia.

The CD relaxes me and makes me stop worrying and thinking about it. Although, I feel I would need to listen to it much more often ...and I will! :o) ... it's really worth it ...Let me know and I give you details if you are interested.

Why did you actually start with mia?

Looking forward to speaking soon!
