I'm 38 single, but was married once when I was too young and too naive to know it was the wrong thing to do. I suffered from a short spell of anorexia which turned into bulimia which lasted from about the age of 25 to 32. Things got so bad I finally sought help and faced my demons (well some of them!) and 'got better', though I look on it as just being in remission. Nearly a year ago, I don't really know how, I slipped back into ED. This time it is mainly restricting with the odd mad b/p. Funny how the only stuff I have to say 'About me' is pretty much ED? Oh, how it rules us!!

Done it!! No b/p for a week. Have to say I've been tempted though, but not as bad as in the past. Got a few 'trigger' times over the next …

One day down, six to go. Was out of the house last night and kept busy so less chance to b/p.
I hope you make this day another sucessful day :) stay possitive and try and keep in an upbeat mood. If you feel low come on here to try and keep your mind off things :) Much love xxxxxxxxxxx
I have ED too, but its been 6 days for me.
Awesome job on going on 4-days no b/p!!!! I'm excited for you!! Keep it up!!!
thank you for your supportive message re: relapse. I guess ED doesn't ever really go away completely, I think we will always have to be aware and diligent so that it doesn't sneak up on us. And I am learning that I cannot do it alone-- we all need support along the way, and I appreciate yours:)
Thanx You
I suffered from anorexia/bulimia for a number of years from my early 20s till I was about 30. I had things pretty much under control for a number of years and although I had a tendancy to yo-yo diet the ED was under control. However, for nearly the last year the ED is back with a vengence and now find myself in the grips of anorexia. I am finding the battle a tough one this time around. Knowing why I do these things doesn't seem to stop me!
