No, you're not weak, you simply reacted to an unexpected situation and had a slip up. You can choose NOW to not let it bum you out so you can get back up on your feet and carry on towards wellness. Don't listen to your mates as you know yourself and your intentions way better than they do!

I think slimpics really nailed it. you're not weak, along your road to recovery these minor set backs are bound to occur - the important thing is getting up and moving forward - if you can do one day...you can do another...and another
i'm sorry about the boy problems but i'm happy that you're getting away from that sleezeball. you think they would've invented sleezeball detectors by now huh?

I think you need some new friends that don't put you down for something you haven't even done. You binge was the ED answer to a trigger ( a big one at that), so don't put yourself down. Start over tomorrow. Good job with the 4 days.
