My mom is an extreme dieter. She'll diet for months, lose a hundred pounds, get depressed, and binge until every single pound is gained back -- plus some. When she diets, she cuts back to less than 500 calories a day. She gets in this "mode" and has AMAZING willpower for someone who is starving 24/7.

I suffer from bulimia. Watching my mom makes me want to restrict too, but I'm not as "strong" as her. I end up bingeing and purging and the cycle starts all over again.

I need advice. :(

    If you suffer from bulimia, you should be talking to a Psychologist.

    You've been dealt a difficult hand... that much is for certain.

    Good for your for having the courage to speak up about it on here.

    When you're ready, you can take the leap of faith and see a professional about it... perhaps start with your doctor who will point you in the right direction.

    Be kind to yourself, honey - you'll get through this! We're stronger than we ever realise. Really.

    Very best wishes xxx
