Hi there. This is probably my second post about my bulimia recovery. So I had bulimia for about a year and then I got busted so now I'm in recovery. It's extremely hard especially during the start. I binged almost everday for like 2 months. But I was able to not purge. Now, this is my third month and I still binge!!!! :( My weight has gone up by 9kgs and I feel huge.

Is this weight gain permanent? They say my weight will stabilize. Some claim that during their recovery, they eventually lost their weight after a couple of months. Will that happen to me too? Or will I just continue gaining weight because Imcan't stop binging?

    I would listen to the professional that guide you in your recovery, you need to trust them in order to get out of this eating pattern. It is like anything in life you need to fix one problem at a time. You say you did not purge I tell you bravo good for you great success. Now ficus on the binges and ince you control that take the rest of the journey.

    Well I guess you're right. The problem with my binging is that I know for a fact that it's not good. But I always end up making up rational excuses for them. Like "I probably need this because it's my body's response for being malnourished". Do you think there's some truth to this or has it Just become a habit?
