So I did it I went to my dr today and discussed my eating patterns . Even showed her my logs and keeping track of binges and moods. Also discussed how I feel before during and after binging. We also discussed how sometimes when the grief is too much I will purge. I am feeling very proud of myself for this step and my honesty with myself, my husband, and my doctor. I just wanted to share.

Great for you! Talking about it with someone is always an essential step, and now that you've done that you're that much closer to recovery!

Thank you it has been 1 week and i have only had 2 binges one with a purge which is huge for me. I am getting there. I am also keeping a journal now and this helps too .

Well done!!! :flowerforyou: I have a journal too where I record my feelings along with food. This inspires me to keep going with my own. I am so glad you were able to share this with your doctor! You should be proud!

thank you, since my appt last week I have only had 2 binges and only one resulted in a purge. This is a big accomplishment. It used to happen daily for me.

Well done for taking that step, and I am sure it will be onwards and upwards for you.
I too am battling the binge/purge cycle, I am fine as long as I avoid regular sugar intake.

Its amazing since eating regularly and no binging or purging I have actually lost 5 lbs this week alone . . . im in shock. I have to tell everyone you can do this too. I also found it helps to talk to people. I am able now to talk to my husband about when i feel the need to purge and hes also helping me recognize a binge. Last night I did eat in the middle of the night but as I was doing so I stopped, I have control again not food. you all can get here.
