Yes, I tried the diet pills and now the Slimful bars, but I can't stop eating late in the evening and I don't know what to do as I have tried eating at least two regular meals and still have the issue of eating late at night. I am open to any advice that gives me a chance to deal with this issue. I want to thank you for your response. Take care...TheInvMan...

I haven't posted here in a really long time, but I'm scared. I'm a 32 (!!!) year old female with a 6 year old daughter. I'm 5'6 and weigh 106 lbs. My BMI is 17.1 with <18.5 falling into the underweight category. My eating disorder started when I was 17 years old making it a 15 year long battle. I've binged, purged and restricted on and off the whole time. I'd say I was at my worst during a 9 month long purging at least three times a day period. Currently, I'm in pure restriction...

Now that I've graduated and still have no money I still can't afford going to a therapist(they are dang expensive!!).

I am 20 years old I have had an eating disorder since I was 12. I recently got SSI disability benefits and I also got medicaid through Virginia (the state I live in). However, I don't know or think that medicaid covers the treatment that I might need in the future. I need something like inpatient or residential treamtment and I don't think medicaid covers such things. What is the point of having medicaid if it doesn't cover the things I desperaly need? Do...

I'm new to this group too, totally relapsing and I don't know what to do about it. I feel like I'm kind of in the same boat because I hide it well enough that no one knows. I used to be like you, purging almost everything I ate, but after several years of that the sphincter between my stomach and my esophagus is so enlarged that I can throw up in my sleep without waking up at all. And it's gotten less frequent since I stopped purging five years ago, so I'm trying to stop myse...

I still have an entire extra person worth of weight to lose. Every time I look in the mirror I see my worst nightmare. I look like someone ate me. My face is not my own. I can't stop now.
