-TW- What are your habits that aren't 'typical bulimic'?

[Strangelove]

I don't gag at all when I purge. I just bend over, flex and there it is. I also still function normally in college and manage to stay on track... although I have to try about 3X as hard as everyone else to keep my shit together.

I also lose weight through bingeing and purging and rarely gain.

I for the most part eat pretty damn normally in public/around others. This is mostly because I am further along in my recovery than I've previously been.

I don't really ever restrict (like the lowest at all is around 1,200 calories a day).

I don't exercise much either. I really want to change this though, just for health.

Oh, and I'm on the higher side of a normal BMI. Supposedly this is normal for bulimics but I've always felt like for whyeat, many of the people on this forum are on the lower end of the BMI chart.

Oh and I tend to binge while I am on my laptop. It just annoys me to have nothing to do while binging. Sometimes I binge in the kitchen, and then I read the paper. I just need something to do while binging.

this ^^ i'm always either on the computer or watching tv or playing games on my phone or something while bingeing.

my binges last for hours, (i've said that a lot on this website haha) i don't think that's 'typical bulimic'

i take small breaks when purging, to sit and breathe or check my phone/facebook/whatever

sometimes i put on music to listen to while purging.. just because xP

Well, this is a first but I'd just finished eating and I'd had sort of a mini binge, so I got a cereal bowl (that my family use) out of the cupboard, put it down on the kitchen counter and started purging into it. Then when I'd finished I went outside and dumped the contents of the bowl onto the snow covered grass in my back garden so people will assume it was the dog who was sick, then rinsed the big chunks out of the bowl and left it in the kitchen sink for my mum to wash up later. I do not know what the hell was going through my head when I did that, I'm fucking disgusting sometimes.

And yeah, I purge in bags and buckets in my room a lot of the time, cos it would look suspicious to my family if I claimed to be having multiple showers a day whilst purging in the toilet.
