Bulimia Nervosa Support Group

Please feel free to share with us how you are feeling as often as you'd like. I will do the same. We are all here to support each other!

Good day! Felt really bloated from binging last night. I actually didn't purge but woke up feeling so fat! But, that was a victory. I also ate 3 meals today. Normally I would restrict or go on a cleanse or fast. But, I want to try to stop the cycle. I have been having arrhythmias and am concerned for my health. I have too many people who mean too much to me in life to be hurting myself like this. So, yea, good day. My hubby took away all the junk food too so it was so much easier! He has been very supportive since I told him how serious it was the other day!

Feeling torn emotionally so... here comes the disease rearing its ugly head

I a pretty upset with my weight this morning--disgusted actually. I have been trying so hard but the darn b/p keeps sneaking up on me even when I think I am having a good day. I am really worried that this is happening so often now.

We have to keep reminding ourselves that we atre stronger then this... having this group is a life saver!!!

Another great day! I ate a normal breakfast lunch and dinner. It really helps not having junk food in the house. My hubby got me italian ice which is my treat. He counts them to keep me on track. I am kind of annoyed it has to come down to him monitoring me, but it's a way he can help. He always says how much I help him on his bad chemo days, and he wants to help me! Feeling good. Actually threw away the scale. Don't miss that SOB at ALL!! We are NOT defined by what we way, what size we are, but who we are inside. I need to constantly be reminding myself this since society says otherwise. I was an extremely overweight child and when I lost a bunch of weight at 13 and hit a growth spurt, I started getting attention. My parents were proud of me. They STILL talk about weight all the time! And, they always mention if I look thinner, so when they don't say anything, I assume I look like a fat cow! I REALLY need to dig into this with my therapist. I want and need to be around people who love me for who I am and are not always so focused on weight/appearance. I am also worried about an upcoming engagement party for my brother this summer. It's a very "beautiful" family, and I want to look and feel good. I had it in my mind I was going to lose a bunch of weight for the party, but you know what...no more freaking diets! I told my husband "diet" is a bad word in our house! Anyway...sorry for going off on a tangent. By writing this down, I am trying to convince myself and everyone on this site how SPECIAL they are! We are NOT going to let this damn disease get the best of us!

Glad you had a great day! Congratulations on getting rid of your scale. I'm not there yet! I know what you mean about family talking about weight. If mine don't tell me I look thin they tell me that I'm looking good and I definitely interpret that to mean that I have put on weight.

I agree that diets don't make us beautiful. Real beauty is inside of us. I though I never started this ED to become bulimia--it is more emotionally infused for me.

I hope you have another great day tomorrow! You are truly an inspiration.

My weight is fluctuating like crazy and today it is sky high. I can't help but be really upset by it and really mad at myself.

I really cannot weigh right now, clothes fit....good enough. I have been struggling terribly, b/p up to 4 times a day( I know emotionally where it is coming from and I need to focus on more positive issues

Oh no! 4 times a day! You were on track recently and can get back there. You are strong--find that strength and remember how good it felt when you were in control recently.
