Recovering Binge Eater

gomibun

Hello everyone!

I've been on this site for a while, but never was completely ACTIVE. In fact, I had this account even while I was anorexic; hell, I USED this while I was anorexic. However, over the past few months I gained back all the weight I starved myself to lose and then some, while I was in recovery. I was hit by the overwhelming feeling of guilt. So my ED turned from anorexic to bulimic just like that.

Then I tried really hard to stop purging, because I knew it was one of those things that would set me for death later on in my life. What ultimately happened was I never stopped bingeing, and stopped purging. Hello, fat and weight! I am now at a weight even higher than what triggered my earlier anorexia, and I don't want to go back there in the least. I'm in college, so the Freshman 15 (Hell, Freshman 50!) is very real, and I'm afraid that if I keep doing this I'll be unable to carry out my daily activities.

The stats I put in this account aren't my real stats. I'm currently overweight (not obese yet), and I want to lose weight the right way. I hope you guys can help me out on this seriously hard journey.

Hi! I just joined and saw your post. I am also in university and struggling with binging and looking for help and support. I too had tried purging briefly, but that wasn't too successful and was scary. I want to lose my weight healthily and want to be happier. I don't have any answers, but just wanted you to know I understand a bit of where you are coming from and hopefully we can both find a healthy way to deal with this!
