I need some help. The behavior is getting really bad. And i really need some advice on how to stop it (or at least reduce it).
I am purging 3-4 times a day right now. I don't know what to do. And the crappy part is, it seems to be the only thing that makes me lose weight, since my metabolism is shot, so it is reinforced. Plus i have been very stressed out, and it seems to be the only thing that helps.
Does anyone have any ideas or advice per chance? Thank you for your help.

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...
Are you seeing a therapist?
My advice to you- is to get professional help.I was at your stage before and it got to the point that I could not go the bathroom because I was so dehydrated and my body was in dire pain.
You may want to speak to a doctor about Xanax, or something to help you get through a couple weeks of not purging to allow your body to start the healing process.
I still fall of the band wagon but I since I have received professional help- I have not purged in over two months. My body is starting to heal. I'm actually losing weight again SLOWLY but that is ok with me- I have the energy to go the gym and my body doesn't hurt anymore from chronic heart burn.
You can do it! You need to do it for your health.
As I look back over the seasons of my life, I feel as if I have spent so many years thinking about what it would be like when . . .
What will life be like when I get married? What will it be like when I have children? What will life be like when I have an empty nest? What will it be like when Im a grandmother? Now I know the answers to all those questions. What life will be like then has been revealed, but only in the past few years have I stopped thinking about the future and what it will be like. I finally have learned a great truth: when each season comes, it will be what it will be. There is an appointed time for every event yet to occur, and God will be with me in the future just as he has been alongside me all the way, every step, for every event and for every feeling, good or bad.
We have today, my friend. Thats it. We have the joy of yesterdays memories and the delight of future anticipation, but we have no tangible reality except today. This day is yours. This is your time to do, to be, to accomplish, to fulfill your reason for living.
