im in a similar situation. . .i'm a cheerleader and get lifted and thrown into the air. But obviously this is keeping me ill, because I know I'm the biggest/heaviest person that gets the lifted (the other girls are TINY!!).

However, cheerleading makes me so happy, thats where all my friends are at, I have such a laugh, and when I had depression, it was something that would normally cheer me up.

You need to think about whether you can get better with her around. Why is she a trigger? If its because she slim or whatever, then you need to think that your not her. You don't have the same genetic build, so your size is your size. It's tough, and thats a shit reason, but that's what I've been told when I compare myself to smaller girls.

Saying that, if you truly want to recover, then you will make it work, but recovery from an ED cannot be half arsed (excuse the expression!). . .because I would 'like' to recover but I never act on it enough to actually recover or even begin to. I just like the idea of recovery from bulimia. If that makes sense? anyway, enough from me. hope your ok xx
