to bikewench,that's great sound's like your doing well,,i hope someday to make it week's,wow,i'd be so proud of myself. I'm in some stupper,lol,it's all so crazy. I feel fat and gross,which keep's me b/ping,knowing full well that's what's making me feel those way's in the first place. I feel like a failure in everything,being a mother,wife,ect,because of this,yet i do it even more when im feeling depressed like that??? HELLO,,anyone in there,lol. I know the answer to helping all my problem's,which is to STOP this mia. I sit and tell myself constantly what a stupid cycle and that if i would just stop it,push,struggle past the first few day's,it would get easier and therefore so would all the other feelings,,so why cant I? whew :sigh1: I know one is that i set unrealistic goal's for myself,like for instance,i cant eat but a small salad all day,with only lettuce,tomato and onion,and i eat this topping that has no cals' or fat,lol,ok,so then im starving,and always lose it,not to mention,ANY food causes a binge,even if it's an apple,feeling the food,heck even coffee,starts me going. anyway,i wanted to say what a great job your doing,I for one know how hard it is.
I would also like to say thank you nina for that website,im going to check it out now. Everyone else,,keep moving forward,stay positive and have a great day

Basicbond, dealing with food is an everyday struggle for me also. I am an emotional overeater.....I binge at times on whatever is there, but I don't purge......never really got into that, but I understand the cycle that we can get into with these food issues. It's not as easy as....just do without, becasue we can't do without. If you starve yourself or barely eat enough to keep alive you deprive your body of the healthy nutrients that it needs to survive. Which I am sure you know all that.

All I can do is take it each day as it comes and worry for that day what I am going to do or plan for. Thinking further ahead gets me into trouble with fears and the feeling of overwhelmed with the issues of food.

Well, we are all here together dealing with one kind of food issues or another.....but together and sharing.

basicbond,
This may sound stupid to you, but it's just a thought. Have you tried holding off purging for say an hour past what you normally would? Maybe after you did that a few times, you could add another 30 minutes to that hour. And then after you felt you could, you could hold off for that hour and 30 minutes plus another 30 minutes. Then keep focusing on holding off purging for more and more minutes by the clock. Again, it's just a thought that crossed my mind. Please keep coming back here and talking to us. We are all here for you.
