Hello everyone. I am new to all of this support group stuff and I am just looking for some help and support. Over the summer I dropped over 20lbs. Health diet, and was doing really well.. Well it started early summer when I binged. I didn't call it a binge though. Well. It became more frequent and I looked up how to make myself throw up. Once I knew, I did. Everytime I would mess up on my diet I would go and make myself vomit. It wasn't even a concern or started affecting me until recently. I noticed that I have been in a binge-purge cycle for over 4 months now. And recently I have not been able to break it at all! I can tell that I accumulating fat around my belly (Which is expected if you're going through the binge-purge.) and I time to time have some liver pain and kidney pain. I cannot tell any of my family. And I'm worried that it might actually be bulimia. I just need some help and advice . I want to get back to my healthy way and to break this b/P cycle. Help !
If you are intentionally vomiting after then it is called bulimia. What happened in your life this summer that you started doing this harm to yourself? Some stressful situation or maybe you simply felt lonely?
I'm in the same boat as you. Once I learned how to purge, it was all over. I was addicted and unable to stop. Im slowly trying to leave the cycle. I am more aware of what uses the behaviors and try my best to avoid them (anxiety moments, trigger foods, change in food schedule). But I try not to beat myself up when life happens and things dong go the way they should (insert relapse).
