i'm sitting at my computer after a binge and i feel horrible. i feel like when i get a craving there is nothing i can do to stop myself. I've tried everything, from waiting 10 minutes, to taking a walk, to reading, but the cravings only get worse, i hate feeling like this. I know there are people who have recovered from bulimia, but at this point, the road looks a million miles long, and i'm already tired :(

yea there are people who recover from this ---but i believe the bottom line is youve got to REALLY WANT TO-!! and youve got to do whatever it takes to not give in to it the cravings urges like no matter what just becuz it "feels" like yA NEED TO does not mean its the right thing to do---we have to say NO to it just like someone whos trying to stop smoking or quit drinking---it truly is an addiction, an illness and we need to face that reality if we want to change or do something about it!!!By the way i too am sitting here at my desk after a binge /purge this afternoon...It might help to see talk with a counselor theres other issues going on that can bring on relapses in ED,s ---Hope you feel better-----

Kelly,
I am so sorry for what you're feeling as I too am sitting after a binge and purge. My throat is so SORE and I am tired, wiped out, just so wiped out! Although I am new to this site it feels better knowing others can relate to us as sometimes our loved ones can't. If you need to chat that would be nice!
Feel better, stay strong, use this site as a distraction to keep you busy while getting some support!

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    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...
