Bulimia Nervosa Support Group

I'm bulimic. And its about time to do something about it.

I've been bulimic for over a year now, and it is moronic. I am a biologist and know how ridiculous this is! That just goes to show that no matter how educated you are in something, disorders can have the best of you. I know my choices are stupid, I know I'm killing myself, but I just can't say no!

Here's to trying to fight myself. Cheers!

i feel your pain......I have been bulimic for 18 years, have seen every kind of therapist out there and came to the conclusion. I am the only one who has the choice to stop and not any amount of strategies or techniques that a therapist can give me will make me change unless i want too and stop. I guess it is my way of comforting myself and a coping mechanism. I too can't say no. If you or anyone can figure it out please share!

Eliz...Do you know how it started? Was there a lot of stress going on? What is helping me now is from a book I read...info about my relationship with food. I've heard it all before, I am a well educated person too, but it's true that we have to just get fed up with this disease and ask ourselves "Is this really the life I want for myself?" I said "Absolutely now" After many years of being Bulimic then recovering then this recent relapse...so I am determined to feel my feelings/emotions and ride out the urges. It gets easier the longer you don't do it and when you realize that you are stronger than the ED.

to think about do something about ur bulimia is the first step

you will be able to say no someday andi hope soon]

we all here struggle and fight to reach or goals

and the desire is what we need tostart

welcome u

I also understand. Although I havent been bulimic for quite as long as that (only 8 months) i can no longer say no to the urges and addition. I hope that one day i'll be able to say no. but for now i cant and i cant seem to find the will power to stop. hugs to you all

After I had Bulimia/anorexia for 5 months I decided to get help as I couldn't control it and it was really scary--still is to a lesser degree. And I thought I would beat it in no time, but it is a powerful disease and hard to get over--but it is possible.
