Hi everyone - I recently signed up to this site as per the recommendation of my therapist. I've been bulimic for 16 yrs and it is not going away. There was a point in my life where I binged/purged a few times during the year and now I am back to doing it at least once a day - this has been going on for the past year. If I don't purge - I end up taking laxatives like crazy. I mainly purge when at work and sometimes when I get home. This is overwhelming and I don't know how to stop it. My mind is 100% focused on my weight and stomach and the way clothes fit. Please help me with some advice as to how to overcome this at least for 1 day. I hate this so much - just want to be normal.
