Hello everyone. I am so glad to have found this forum. Long story short, I have been suffering from binging and purging for quite some time now. I absolutely feel disgusting and hate myself, especially after a binge episode. The last time I binged was about three days ago and so far I have been doing really well eating wise. That's my terrible cycle. I eat so healthy for a couple of days and then BAM! I eat everything in site. I am sick of seeing myself in such a negative light. I just want to be NORMAL again. I have tried therapy, medications, exercise, everything. But, nothing seems to work. It is sad that when I lose weight, all of a sudden I get really happy. I am 127 pounds right now and 5'4''. That may not seem like a lot but all my weight is in my thighs. I want to be at my happy weight, around 118. It's these darn 10 pounds that are killing me and what is ultimately causing me to loathe myself. I know I am babbling right now but I just feel so hopeless at the moment :( I would greatly appreciate some support. Much love <3

    heya. You may have come to the right place.
    I have had binging issues my whole life. I discovered purging in my 20s. yey :/
    using MFP helps me not to binge because I have to put everything in my log.
    Seeing all of what I ate - or what I plan to eat makes what I am doing to myself concrete.
    Granted It's only been a few weeks, but I'm excited about it.

    I started using this place as a social thing too in order to help. This way, lots of people can see what I'm doing. I have to be accountable for my actions.

    Add me if you like! Trying to be motivational and supportive and it's nice to have others around in Internet Fitness Land
