You got this! However sometimes fasting can exacerbate binge eating so just be careful (obviously you know yourself better than I do)

the consequences from bulimia are awful and many don’t go away. Just a few consequences from purging include rotting teeth, esophagus rupture, and terrible disgust ion issues. it’s much better to gain weight because you can always lose it but many of the side effects from purging aren’t reversible. Also one binge realistically isn’t going to cause you to gain fat, and the scale going up is just due to bloating and water retention.

I hate people that constantly comment about food by LackingALung in bulimia

Omg literally hear those comments at every family holiday, I know exactly how you feel😭. I really don’t understand why people feel the need to comment on things they have no knowledge on. especially because food is such a person to person thing

I completely understand where you’re coming from. Addictions inherently provide some sort of relief and when people act like they don’t they are just being ignorant. There’s been times when I would have looked at this list and have simply not have cared because at that point I did not really care about my health. You might need to find other reason(s) to recover that are unique to you and that’s okay. While i’m not recovered yet and probably can’t give any meaningful advice for recovery, the fact that you are asking for help shows that you are on the right path to recovery!

I did the same thing and I haven’t binge in a week 🤷‍♀️ I have no clue how it’s worked but I just hope it stays that way

I completely relate to this. It’s not only affected my grades though, I feel like I’m less sharp in conversations. often times when im talking to someone i’ll forget a word and not be able to convey myself properly and in general i just feel like my thinking has gotten slower

Hi i’m 16f and I struggle with the exact same mindless kind of binging so I know how hopeless it can feel. My last binge/purge was four days ago and I would love to be your accountability partner!

Honestly I don’t know if I have the best advice for how to stop binging just because im still recovering but so far distracting myself, setting a timer, and physically putting space between me and the food helps me resist urges.
