So, I am new at this whole thing. I guess I could use people's replies. I'm a bulimic and have been for like 4 years. It's been on and off. Good times and bad times. I am having a very hard time with this right now. I hate food and I want to be skinny. I stepped on the scale today and resulted in a very bad b/p session. This is a lifestyle, my whole world revolves around this thing. UGH...very frustrating.

I am so sorry that you are going through this with the rest of us. I can tell you that there is hope (I haven't binged and purged for over a year now) and that it just takes a lot of committment, support, and hard work. Please let me know if there is anything that I can do to help you get through this. KNow that you are not alone and this web site is here to support you. Take care!

Welcome to DS, I hope that you find support here as so many others do. You should start to look at alternatives to your disordered behaviour with food, try setting some goals and working through your worries. Welcome again !

Welcome Coley. Glad to see you're posting about your feelings. That's a great start. I understand it's become a 'lifestyle', which really isn't much of a like. Just wondering if you have a therapist or doctor. I know for me, when I used to purge, it wasn't really about food. I was purging out uncomfortable feelings. Think about positive things, such as college and be kind to your body.

Thank you all so much. It is good to hear from people that are all going through same thing I am. It's sooo hard because I have two real good friends that know about this and I hate that they are seeing me go through this. But they are all I have. I don't have a therapist because I have a hard time 'talking' about my ED. It is a lot easier to do this over postings and such. I know eventually that is what I am going to need but right now I am SO NOT READY. :'(

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
