I haven't really done much posting anywhere on DS lately. I've hit an all time low. Amongst everything else, the fact that i suffer from bulimia is causing one of the worst episodes it has ever caused for me. I thought I was done with it, that I didn't feel the need to do it ever again. But I could not have been more wrong. I have not kept a single thing down since thanksgiving. Hell I didnt even keep my thanksgiving dinner =[ i feel so empty all the time and now i just can't stop. I never thought I'd see this day where it completely took me over once again. I'm numb,. Nothing but numb.

Well, look at it this way...you battled it once and won...you can do it again. It may take more out of you...and you may have to fight harder...but you can win. I believe in you. You CAN do it.

Don't beat yourself up. You had a lapse and now it's time to pick yourself up again. Nobody is perfect. So give yourself a break and start over again tomorrow. Maybe just eat a little and increase slowly each day until you are back where you were. Hugs.

Not to sound like a twelve step group but this is so true...."Progress, not perfection". Keep on trying friend, one day we will get there.

hey girl i know the feeling exactly. I have genuinely felt that it was over for me too many times, but then out of the middle of no where it will just return - you can and you must get back on track. you have already proven to yourself that you can do it. good luck girl

i feel what you're going through right now.. you feel like this is a never ending cycle, and why even contiune bothering? hell, i even thought that i would just let my ED become who i was, and not bother trying to give it up anymore... but then you look at all the good in your life, family and friends, and you realize why you HAVE to struggle.. there has to be so many people out there who love you; but most importantly you need to find love for youself.. ill believe for you, if you dont feel like you can anymore.

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...
