  • Throw it all away immediately, drink a glass of water, brush your teeth, then take a shower, shave your legs, use a face mask, deep condition your hair, it works for me.
  • I began my battle when I was 12. I did not go to an eating disorder clinic, but I did see a counselor. It never really goes away, and for me it's all about control. I'm 36 now and I still struggle sometimes. Honestly for me sometimes I just skip a meal, rather than start a binge/purge cycle. If I had a major regression at…
  • I carry at least 5 extra pounds, and that's with being on a diuretic! I'm also beyond starving the entire week, I could basically live on chocolate dipped salt if I succumb to the cravings. My doc said the cravings are your body trying to store calories in case you get pregnant, like THAT makes me feel any better about it!…
  • I would never stop taking my vites! Multi with folic acid, vitamin d, biotin complex, and I just started a probiotic, results have been awesome. If I don't take them I notice the difference.
  • I want to because on a good day it would motivate me. However on a bad day it would make my binging worse I think, so no I don't. I do have an inspiration board on Pinterest of clothes I imagine I'll want to wear at goal, and I look at it often.
  • Sunday-introduce yourself: I'm 36, a lawyer, married to my soul mate. I weighed in at 364, and I don't want to be anymore. I fought bulimia through college and law school, now I still eat, but don't purge. I want to be a size 14, whatever that weight is. Working on the inside as well as the outside.
  • I'm considering doing the same. I add chia or spinach or PB2 to my whey protein. It will be easier for me mentally to handle.
  • You do your best. Sometimes the binge wins, but don't equate that with you "losing." If you binge on any food available, not something specific, I recommend a support group, even just online. You aren't alone, and knowing that may help you overcome it.
  • My husband is not on the same journey as I am, he's just not ready. He has the tastebuds of a 6 year old, so I basically cook two separate meals. It's mine to own, my success, my failure. I can't eat his food and live my truth.
  • I'm pretty sure by "plastic" they mean American singles or Velveeta. I've recently decided to cut dairy also. I was diagnosed as allergic when I was a child but developed a tolerance as I got older. I'm beginning to think I'm not as tolerant as I think.
  • I don't know about the OP, but after a lifetime of overeating I need to throw it away, I need to see myself reject overeating. Wrapping it up won't happen for me, I'll just eat it. Throwing it away is teaching me to dish up smaller portions.
