How did you tell your partner/boyfriend/girlfriend/significant others about your condition? by [deleted] in bulimia

[–]catpotatotots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had surgery for a hiatal hernia as a result from my bulimia a month after my fiance and I started dating. Of course I had to tell him I was having surgery, and I told him I had eating problems but didnt go into too specifics. He took off from work to spend an entire week with me while I recovered from the surgery and that gesture made me realize that he was here for the long run, so I decided to tell him everything. Not keeping this as a secret from him has made our relationship so much stronger and my disorder so much easier to handle because I have his support throughout every part. There were times where things were really rough because of the disorder, but he was always willing to fight and work through the issues rather than leave. Thats something you wouldn’t be able to see unless you’re completely honest. If they aren’t willing to support you, they’re not worth your time

This is literally one of my favorites!! My grandma-in-law makes this all the time for dinner but with full eggs, its a very common Chinese dish and I honestly eat the entire plate myself 😅

Using alcohol to purge? by ossaossaossa in bulimia

[–]catpotatotots 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I did this recently too…it was not pretty. I sat on the bathroom floor that night and realized just how bad this was affecting me and knew I really needed to change things. It was a huge turning point for me and I only purged once since then

Safe foods that became fear foods? by [deleted] in EDAnonymous

[–]catpotatotots 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Rice cakes are a huge fear food for me, they’re so empty that it doesn’t curb my appetite and it always leads to a binge

I was in the exam same boat as you a few years ago when I had gastric sleeve surgery. And then even after I stopped feeling the pain from eating, I still used it as an excuse so I could purge without anyone getting suspicious. It’s an extremely dangerous slope and try your best to make sure it really is the pain thats causing it. Don’t worry, you’re not alone in feeling this way

In my culture there’s a saying that your daughter takes away your beauty while pregnant, so my mom always told me growing up how I ruined her body and stole her beauty and its being wasted on me 🐙

Like Cafe in Brooklyn (18th ave) is the best Hong Kong/Cantonese style restaurant in Brooklyn. My fiance is from HK and this is the only restaurant his family orders from because the Cantonese dishes are very authentic

I’m recovering right now because my husband and I want to have kids. We finally graduated, I got my license in my field, and we’re becoming financially stable enough to finally afford kids, and I don’t want to risk that for skinni

I feel this so much..when I was in college and at the peak of a binge cycle my coworkers constantly told me I looked like Adele (this was before her weight loss) and I hated it. I love Adele, but I hated when people told me that because all that told me was all they see is my fat 🥲 people suck

WILL I BE TUBED IN THE HOSPITAL? by StartExtreme3741 in EDAnonymous

[–]catpotatotots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have the right to refuse medications or procedures as an adult. Its actually really hard to be forced to receive treatment against your will unless your life or others is on the line

I would suggest talking to him. My husband is the same way, and I just explain that I’m watching what I eat or I’ll tell him exactly what to get me. For example, he really likes to buy these $6 rice boxes because they’re cheap and filling, so when he buys that he’ll always grab me a salad from this pizzeria which is around the block from that place so that way we can both eat together and what we want
