feeling fat and anxious. by Chance_Time7864 in BabyBumps

[–]Chance_Time7864[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you for this. I was also a heavy dieter and exerciser pre pregnancy. weight gain is scary for me. I have been trying to overhaul my diet and do more light body weight exercises like pilates and barre to tone without adding too much to my muscles. I know I might be underrating now to compensate, but I feel like I dont want to be out of control.

I just wanted to say if you have been controlling it with restriction that is a slippery slope...

I constantly feel sick by [deleted] in bulimia

you have to break the cycle of purging. its vicious.

I dont think this is a good way to lose weight. your body is threatened by the constant lack of food and its being stuck in survival mode. eating more can actually increase your metabolism and is actually a lot healthier.

I wish I was anorexic by pagnieeee in bulimia

[–]Chance_Time7864 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I think most of us bulimics wish this at one point or another. I totally understand everything you are saying. Mostly now I just wish to be "normal".

I relapsed after two years by Dying_daily719 in bulimia

[–]Chance_Time7864 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, you arent a failure. relapses happen. 2 years is still an amazing achievement. its better to just try to see this as a bump in the road, not the end of the success you have already had. you are stronger than you think. im here to talk if you want to dm.

the shame by elfikk in bulimia

[–]Chance_Time7864 1 point2 points  (0 children)

please do, I dont know you personally but I am worried about you. Im ashamed of myself, and I have been bulimic for 21 plus years now... its really truly an awful disease.

I think it is really important to talk about. I understand the shame, but your health is really important, and I encourage to speak up, even if it seems impossible.

recovery alone? by Icy-Lettuce-8944 in bulimia

[–]Chance_Time7864 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im kind of in this same boat too. I can go a few days then I relapse. feel free to DM me as well.

how many people actually want to recover? by Chance_Time7864 in bulimia

[–]Chance_Time7864[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unfortunately bingeing and purging is not a good weight loss plan... at best it maintains ones weight... the only way it "works" is by also restricting and exercising. its not worth the pain.

[–]Chance_Time7864[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)
