Well i have been going off and on between bulimia and anorexia for 4 years now. I have had times inbetween that i was fine and ate prefectly ok.Well for a few months i was doing ok again not toatlly better but som what. For the last week or two i have totally stopped eating again and if i did eat i would purge. I just wish i could get better all the way not just for a short bit of time.Plus lately things have gotten worse around me and it seems like i will never get better at all.

you will absolutely get better, you need to truly believe that! It's great that you have been able to go for a few months. I know I lasted couple months without any binges and I was so happy and excited. Can you think of anything about those months that was different? Or anything that might have happened right before you stopped eating? Looking for triggers might be helpful in getting better.

    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...
