It's happened I've started to slip...binging again. I went like 2 weeks without a binge of any sort, sounds rubbish but I was pretty proud and I feel liek I've let myself down.
Got exams coming up, 7 years since my brother died next week, and I can't find a different way to cope....any suggestions advice etc...
Sorry for moaning, I know you can all do without it.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
if u have a therapist or sum1 u can talk to like a doctor explain ur worries to them
perhaps ur not relating to ur feelings as much as u think u are,what i mean is ur using food as a way to coe,i do that to(my sister died last year)but sometimes i can manage to cry which is really good for ya!
i once had a full day where i just stayed in my room all day playing ALL the songs i used to listen to wiv my sister(all like whitney houston and stuff)and just cied soo much,by the end of the day i was emotionally knackered but i felt so gud as i litereally felt like i let it all out!!
u shud really try it!!!xxxxxxxx
Don't see this as the end of getting better. Two weeks is not rubbish, it is a real achievement and you should be proud.
Don't beat yourself up about slipping, just pick yourself up and carry on. See this as just a bump in the road, not a roadblock.
I'm sorry about your brother, maybe letting yourself think about how much you miss him will help. It'll be hard, but better than trying to block it out with ed.
I hope you find a way through it all. xxxx
I don't know about advice, but I can say it's normal, well, as normal as anything is when it's related to ed.
Stay strong, and if you have an occasional bad day, don't beat yourself up. You have enough on your plate coping with your memories and your exams.
I'm pretty sure you understand that stress and tragedy triggers your bingeing. Use that knowledge to your advantage, and when you feel down, confront it head-on. Mourn your brother's death, not by bingeing, but by drawing a picture or writing him a letter. Instead of bingeing to deal with the stress of exams, study by writing notecards and talking to others about their notes. Remember that food is energy, and not a drug to cope with the hard things in life.
/hugs I know you will get back on track. Don't get down on yourself- you went two weeks without and that is a huge victory.
