About Me
I am 28, have been struggling with bulimia for 13 years now. I do want to recover, however at this time I am as far from this goal as I can be. I just dont know where to start. After all these years my ED is ME. I dont know how to separate the two identities. Just recently I finally decided that I do want to recover, so this is my first step.

Support Groups
Close Eating Disorders
Type: Bulimiai have been bulimic since i was 15, i am now 28. i definitely have room for improving my efforts in fighting my ED. Lately I feel like I am not trying hard enough to get better.
Treatments
- Prozac Working / Worked
- it used to help when i took it on a regular basis. i stopped for a few months because of side effects (increased sweating, decreased libido, etc). i'm back on it again because the benefits outweigh the discomfort of side effects
- Psychotherapy Not Working
- did not work so i stopped going. it was a waste of time and money
Close Food Addiction
what can i say? food is my drug of choice, one that has altered the reward pathway in my brain (hopefully not permanently)
Open Healthy Eating
want to trade my eating disorder for healthy eating
Treatments
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- it worked very well when i exercised. i was afraid to eat unhealthy things because it would make time spent at the gym seem wasteful. i also made sure my muscles got enough protein to repair themselves.
Open Diets & Weight Maintenance
would like to learn how to eat a healthy diet and not feel guilty about eating.
Open Fitness Goals
Type: Maintain a workout scheduleTreatments
- Running Working / Worked
