I've been bingeing and purging a lot..gained four pounds after losing three. I'm frustrated that i'm eating so much. Exercising too..but not hours like I should so I won't gain weight. Just to curl ino a ball and cry, but I can't . Eat instead ):

Sad Sorry things are so rough. Has school finished now? Do you have extra time on your hands? That always makes things worse for me. You were likely working out tooooo much before, but I know when I B/P it is hard to work out too. Hang in there!

I ended up not taking summer classes due to ED and my own stupidity. I really should suck it up, tell mom and do inpatient, because now I'm about to cry as I buy binge food and yet I still do it everyday.

I've been there. I fully understand. The power the ED has over us, at times, makes us feel like victims of our mind and body. What is keeping you from inpatient now with a cleared up schedule? I am awful with free time--I just B/P like crazy too--even when I don't want to or don't emotionally feel that I need to.

Lonely girl I feel your pain Sad. Why does food have to be so controlling? It's so hard sometimes to stay strong ALL the time. I feel like I am constantly trying to defend myself from ED and sometimes it just gets to be too much.
I will be strong I will press on,
no matter how hard it gets..

I agree with you about inpaitient, because Now would be the perfect time....Use this perfect opportunity to get the assistance you needSmile I sooo know how you feel about the food and weight. My exercise routine has changed and I feel huge(like usual) but this time the scale is up 6 pounds and my shorts are tight uggggg. What do I do to fight this??? I eat like there is no tomorrow and purge. When are we going to realize this doesn't work?????????

I know! You would think we'd stop since bulimia DOES cause weight gain, but I know in my mind (and probably many others) I just think oh I have to exercise more to make up for it.

I love exercise and feel awful when I don't do it (on my planned workout days) but I have always found that it's the number of calories that I eat that are more important in weight maintenance. But while for many of us it starts out as a weight thing, it almost always is due to underlying emotional issues.

I powerwalked two miles today I feel kind of better, but VERY unhappy with my weight.. To the point of crying hysterically over it, which I know is NOT normal. I may not be 170 anymore, but I feel it and see it. I also didn't purge today but ate horribly. It's like I have noooooo self control :/
