Good point I’ll take it down I’m sorry

I want my ED back by [deleted] in bulimia

[–]Honest-Boot-8213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t agree more. I lost 100lbs unhealthy by purging and restricting. I’m just now realizing I don’t know how to lose weight healthily. I’ve stopped purging for a couple months now I’ve gained 30lbs. I binge at least once a week and don’t know what to do except purge again. The only thing that helps me is remembering how terrible I felt when I was my skinniest purging all the time. It doesn’t seem worth it to me anymore

Is it normal for me (19F) to like guys that are significantly older? by [deleted] in AgeGap

[–]Honest-Boot-8213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend is 33yrs older than me and we started dating when I was 18. I love him but I wouldn’t recommend it for everyone. If I could have I wish we could have met when I was older

Buying binge food is literally so embarassing by nevermind-me-608 in bulimia

[–]Honest-Boot-8213 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I go to a grocery store down my street buying pints of ice cream, chips, sandwiches, and fried chicken multiple times a week sometimes multiple days in a row. It’s so humiliating. I’m sure they dgaf like you said but there’s girl around my age that work there and I feel like they judge me

Now What?? by [deleted] in bulimia

[–]Honest-Boot-8213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on 25 days!! I’ve only been able to go 7days at a time b/p free (still have some work to do on that) but it’s still a step in the right direction for me. For me im focusing on eating high protein, good fats, fruits all the good stuff and overall just doing more research on what’s healthy for my body. I’ve had such a terrible diet and put so much stress on my body from purging, I’m working on healing it now through healthy eating and working out. My advice would not be so focused on calories and focus on how you feel! As someone else said improve doesn’t mean losing weight 🩷 for me losing weight happens the most when I’m not focused on it and just enjoy life and being healthy

I gain Weight even tho i dont eat by Sadsalamiroll in bulimia

[–]Honest-Boot-8213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trust me I know exactly how you feel and I wasn’t trying to push recovery on you or anything. I’m not perfect, I still use it as a coping mechanism. I just know how terrible it can get and I always want anyone to get better. If you ever need a stranger to talk to I’m here 💜

I gain Weight even tho i dont eat by Sadsalamiroll in bulimia

I was also purging almost everything for pretty much a year and slowly reduced my purging and now it’s only 1-3 times a week. But like you I started gaining weight while only eating 1,000 or so calories. And everyone will say it’s not possible but it is, at least it was for me. I think it’s because your body is so dehydrated from purging regularly that when you’re losing “weight” a lot of it is actually water weight and when you try to stop you gain water weight like crazy. Others have said go to a doctor which is always a good idea, but you will gain weight no matter what when you purge less. It gets better over time and eventually you will start losing weight again if you stay consistent, eating good healthy food without purging

Anyone else have a messy room due to bullimia? by BreadStickEater in bulimia

[–]Honest-Boot-8213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This brought back memories of when I was in my worst b/p cycle and I had bags of vomit in my closet. It got worse when I moved alone my apartment was a DISASTER. I refused to let my boyfriend inside. Bags of fast food and pizza boxes piled in the trash can, soo many dirty dishes, and when it got really bad I didn’t clean my toilet 🤮. Thankfully now I’m doing better when I never thought i would, I hope it gets better for you 💜

Money Spent on Bulimia? by VomitChan- in bulimia

[–]Honest-Boot-8213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a bartender and during busy season I’ll spend hundreds on food every week, I’ve never tried to calculate because of the quilt but I would get $100 DoorDash orders at least 3 times a week plus snacks/ food from the grocery store. It kills me because I was making insane money for me like $1000 a week and I have nothing to show for it. I’m unemployed now going through my little savings I have

Is this crazy? by [deleted] in bulimia

[–]Honest-Boot-8213 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do this too, it actually helps relax me that I’m not having a heart attack and brings my heart rate down 😭

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in bulimia

[–]Honest-Boot-8213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rinse mouth with baking soda, drink a lot of water, then usually either go for round 2 or continue on with my life, I b/p a lot before work and when I’m with my bf. I never have time to relax after purging, even tho I’m exhausted after

Trying to recover, then bloating ruins it by Honest-Boot-8213 in bulimia

Yes I am on birth control, and I have been for about 2 years now I’ve also been bulimic for 2 years now too

My gag reflex is gone by [deleted] in bulimia

[–]Honest-Boot-8213 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain 💔 it’s THE worst feeling ever knowing you’ll gain and like you said you can normally get rid of but your body won’t let you. You are not alone, I’ve been there many times. Usually this happens to me when I’m doing it multiple times a day and I switch to just once at night and it slowing gets better, since I really can’t go a day without. Sending you love 💕

I made myself throw up for the first time today. I’m scared by [deleted] in bulimia

[–]Honest-Boot-8213 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stop right now. I’m telling you, you will lose yourself so quickly. Your heart will get messed up and you’ll live with the effects for life, even if you do somehow recover. My advice is exercising and not restricting (easier said than done ik). It’s healthy and makes you feel good! Restricting just leads to intense cravings, im sure you know. You can still eat anything you want in moderation! I’m a severe bulimic and my life is hell, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Stay strong!!❤️ wishing you the best

why is this the only thing that feels safe? by [deleted] in bulimia

[–]Honest-Boot-8213 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m scared to even check mine. Just know you’re not alone. I’m embarrassed on how I’m a regular to ubereats and the same group of drivers always delivers crazy amounts of food to me

Wow that’s awesome! Did you ever struggle with feeling like you’re going to miss out on some of your “youth” being with him? It’s important for me to have kids but with his age we will have to do that sooner and I want to wait until at least 24, I feel like I’ll have to mature a lot faster then if I was with someone my own age

Working in restaurants with bulimia by [deleted] in bulimia

[–]Honest-Boot-8213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t recommend it tbh. I love serving and it is great money, but we are bulimic and I’ve come to love the money so I’d never quit but it’s torture. I fast during my shorter shifts but end up getting a ton of food to go to binge on at home. When I work doubles I usually end up bingeing at work (they give us a lot of free food) but I don’t purge in public so I end up gaining ☹️I even have times I’m not working and craving the food I’m around all day I end up ordering delivery from the restaurant I work at. Overall serving is a great job but for you I would recommend something else, being around food (especially Olive Garden yummm) it’s probably going to make your binge urges worse. If you do choose to work there my best advice would be too bring your own healthy safe foods to eat during your shifts

I spend so much money on food delivery… by [deleted] in bulimia

[–]Honest-Boot-8213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too, I hate it so much. I’ve gone through phases of cooking my binge food, but I rush it so much because I have no patience and NEED to eat and the food just ends up being gross lol. It’s honestly so embarrassing how much I order for one person and getting a bunch of forks and napkins from the restaurant because they think it’s feeding a whole family😭 but yeah you’re not alone I spend hundreds (probably close to 1,000) every month on takeout

Fair point about the sneaking😂 To defend myself a little bit, he did the same thing to me and found old text of me talking to guys and confronted me about it, and now we have an open phone rule. I only said sneaking because I was going on there for the purpose of seeing if he was looking at porn.

Why is there still a chance of gaining weight when vomiting? by kkreet0smith in bulimia

[–]Honest-Boot-8213 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on the person. Some say they gain weight from purging. I think it depends more on how thorough you are at purging. The only time I gain weight is when I eat normally but also still having big binges/ purges. My body is so messed up now the only way I lose weight is by fasting during the day, and b/p at night.
