hi, i am new here, and i have a real problem, i am bulimic. i am so bulimic it is hard to imagine my life any other way. i have been bulimic for a long time. i eat and throw up constantly. several times a day. huge binges of extra large pizzas, 10 double cheesburgers, footlong subs, you name it i eat it, and i am successful at not gaining a pound which makes it even more satisgying for me, but its a real problem. my bulimia has resulted in numerous negative effects socially, health wise, and mentally. i have even gotten into trouble with the law because of this, stealing food! i can spend hundreds in a week or two and nothing to show for it! i lie to my friends and family,i eat and eat in my room and keep gallon size ziploc bags to throw up in when my roomates are home. its like a big joke that i have against the rest of the world, as if i am secretly getting away with something. yet the realization is i am playing a joke on myself......i tell myself over and over again i need to stop this, i need to stop! i guess in my own mind i have gotten a lttle bit better because before i weighed 98 pounds now i weigh 101. i know i must gain more but i tell myself i am healthy because of my potassium i have to take, due from vomiting frequently. so i am trying to be healthier i rationalize my all fruit juice and bowl of yogurt i keep down everynight before i go to bed. i know this is out of control...anyone who gone through this?

Island, please do not give up on yourself or your wanting to be better! Realizing the problem is a huge step. I hope you have the faith to believe in yourself and come back to the board so we can help if just to be an ear for you to talk to.

Sending angels and hugs. Hope to hear from you. Judy

live life, don't let it live you.
Love is as important as air to be complete for me.
