Elle,
I'm glad that you decided to come back and post again. I really feel that it will help you to keep coming back here often and reading everything in the Stickies and in the past posts and to keep venting here and sharing here. We all need each other. I also hope that you have or will find an Overeater's Anonymous Meeting near you and make yourself keep going back every time, even when you don't think that you're getting anything out of it. I really feel that you'll be surprised.

I do know from experience about the cycle of eating everything I could find and not seeming to be able to stop myself and then deciding to not eat anything for awhile, so that I could give my body a chance to get refreshed and clean, and to play catchup with using the back calories that I put in my body during the bingeing times. All of that is stinkin thinkin, of course. It did make sense to me at the time.

I do know that reaching out to others for help is the only way to even begin to get off of that merry-go-round. We cannot recover alone. It's critical to recovery from our self-abuse, to reach out to others that are going through what we are. We need each other. We need to give and recieve help and support, in order to acquire recovery. Please keep coming back. Keep focusing only on today.

Sometimes it's as simple as managing ourselves better. I know that sounds almost too simple. But really for me it's been the key too life for many things.

I've struggled with anorexia, bulimia, cutting, burning, self mutilation, a bad crystal meth habit, a year and nine months ago I decided I really need to start managing myself and my life better. We give ourselves far too many excuses.


I still have a long way to go, but I'm a lot farther than I was.
A Franklin Covey organizer a journal, and writing down what
I wanted and where I wanted to go, and then holding myself
accountable was my first step. It's what stops me from doing
things I want to do but know I shouldn't also.

That's a little of what helps me anyway. There are so many resources
out there that can help you.
