Let me tell you that if I were you I would take any help I could get. You do not want to be a 25 year old bulimic like me. If I had the opportunity for treatment like that I would do it. As far as the weight gain, the important thing is to have a healthy eating plan to go along with you stopping the b/p. I always gain wait during my b/p stages. It's so counterproductive and bad for you. The only way you might gain weight is if you are very underweight to begin with. Once you get over those compulsive feelings eating healthy and exercising will make you feel so much better than bulimia ever did. I was recovered for 2 years and then I blew it. I'm working on it now, I would give anything to be free of this. However, you are in control of your life, and you need to decide (with your family) the best treatment options for you, b/c if you hate the treatment it's probably not going to work. Best of luck.

I've been inpatient once and it helped tremendously. The hard part is when you are released and you need to continue the healthy patterns by yourself. I am anorexic, so yes I did gain weight. If your weight is relatively normal you might not gain and just learn how to eat healthy and keep it in. It's normal to be afraid. If you are just going because others want you to go don't. You have to want it for yourself.

Going IP-inpatient is the quickness way to get better!
You don't want to go through all those years of eating disorders that many of us have been through. Eating disorders are deadly, many die from them. Look around at different treatment centers to see what you think will be the most helpful for you in your recovery. When will you be 12 years of age? I highly recommend Mirasol, it's has a great program. You can check at out at www.mirasol.net
they have an adult program and a adolescence program. Let me know how it goes.
Wishing you well, khodem

You are so young, please take any help that is offered to you. They will help you to eat a balanced, nutricious diet. Please accept their offer and appreciate the fact these people actually care.

Oops... I read a 11 year bulimic then checked your page and see you are 26 years of age and have already lived through many years of eating disorders. Still IP is the best route for a speedy recovery. You can focus on getting well and recoverying.
