i am a model and my job DEMANDS that i stay at the weight and measurments that i am. but i have had ana and mia from a very young age, theres been good times ans bad times, but right now im going through a horrific time!!! i no i need to recover and fix everything. but my question is has there been anyone who has recovered and stayed ultra slim afterwards??? because my illusion has been that anyone who has recovered had put on loads of weight and learnt to love themselves the way they are, but that wont cut it with me because of my job, and i want to be super slim, thats when im happiest, can this be possible?? rewcover but maintain a low weight healthily?

Ive been bulimic for 7 years and im in the process of recovering. If u are strictly bulimic and do binge then u will lose weight when u stop. I suggest keeping food logs and eatting 6 small meals a day. When I first quit,I lost 5 lbs. After that u have to be careful bc when ur recovering u tend to binge and not purge, and that is where the weight gain comes from. But if u eat a 1500- 1800 cal diet and stop purging then u will lose weight. This is because u think ur throwing up all ur food, but ur really not and u take in some of the cal from ur binge. I hope i helped and dont be scared to quit. A therapist once told me: put ur ED in ur back pocket and try health, if it doesnt go well u can always pull him back out. It really help bc ED will always be there, but health will not. So go ahead it doesnt hurt to try it out.
