Anorexic turned bulimic

Ok…basically I have been diagnosed with anorexia when my weight plumeted due to lack of nutrition and calories. I had no desire for food, I wasnt hungry because I was used to the emprty feeling. However I have been through treatment for about 6 months now, and I dont really want to change, but I have to for my family and fiends-If I can beat this it give my best friend the strength to recover to (her words) But now, I find myself that I am having more bulimic tendancies, and I hate it. I just was to eat like a normal person, but I cant do that if I eat one thing, because just one thing ALWAYS leads to a binge and purge session. No one really knows about this they are just happy to see me eat…but whatever I eat ends up down the toilet.

My huge weekness is chocolate and sweets etc, and I can eat loads. I just need a way to just take it out of my diet, or find a way that I can I can stop myself from having that binge and purge session.

Any suggestions are welcome, but it is NOT a case of just get over it…ED’s have been my life for 6 years and there are a deadly habit and addiction that are so hard to kick!

Answer #1

well, if you can’t get over it, perhaps you can try tricking yourself. something simple and healthy like a salad…but then put other stuff in the salad. that’ll pick your weight up a little. as for the chocolates and sweets…I dunno. keep yourself around your friends and family all the time, and you won’t have a chance to purge. best of luck.

Answer #2

Well the obvious answer would be dont deprive yourself of sweets, just dont eat too many, but I know that’s not too helpful. Have you tried the 100 calorie packs? They have all sorts of brownies and cookies, and they’re actually pretty good…
