waterphoenix and skyebudge ...... ty for being encourageing .........:D And I am just thakfyl I havent binged in 3 weeks ... I hope I never do again . and hope the same for you two . and for everybody here ..........ttyl..... PS...........I dont ever wanna sound preachy. but HONESTLY .the only thing that helps is having God . All that emotional need and craziness that drove my binges before ....... I now roll up into a ball . and put at His feet . Without faith .......... I would be binging now ..........Give God a try ...... He loves you ............ and He knows whats going on with each and every one of us .. and CARES. and the coolest part about getting help from Him is not having to talk about it in the open right off the bat ....... not until you are ready ...........and He helps with the whole process.........GBU

To me .......... binge means .......... the garbage can I emptied before I started ..is now Full of wrappers, and they are tuumbling out onto the floor .........and my gut HURTS ..... very badly....... I feel like crying , and my gut is ready to burst........... but I cannot stop eating..........I eat anything and everything . strange concoctions ......... and in a hurry . the little bit of ramen noodles my sister left on the stove get thrown into a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich. after I finish the bag of doritos and cake.and beef jerkey . and spaghetti and snickers bars...............thats a BINGE......... and it always includes feeling guilty.........shame..........and a certain amount of self hatred. It is not as casual as some people say ..........and it is more about the emotions than the food consumed.It is a total loss of control and logic . Not GOOD at all. Thank God He has helped me quit doing that to my body .And I pray He helps anyone else who does it .or is headed that way to turn around and never do it ........... ( it's been 3 weeks and I'm not going back! )

Weight Loss	Am I overweight??? advice needed	Feb 19 2007 04:15 (UTC)	7
This might sound funny. but take a picture of yourself ..... and look at it.............You will see in the picture if you look like you need to lose weight or not ....( I am betting you will see you look great).....sitting in our skin , its hard to tell sometimes what we really look like .... and its hard to separate fact from fiction. I think you are probably very healthy ........... Remember that "skinny" is a matter of perspective .........what one person says is skinny another might say is sickly. Don't want to look sickly..............It doesn't look good on anybody. Not even models. Here's to HEALTH!

WOW . Awesome to see so many stand up to be counted for the Lord!. IN ALL THY WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE HIM AND HE SHALL DIRECT THY PATHS .................... I just want to encourage everyone with that ..... who is here trying to get healthy ......... You have acknowledged Him ............... and He will direct your paths ......... He's right here with all of us ..................... helping us ...... doing it for us ..... AMEN! Jesus we love you! Thank you for guiding us ........... and keeping us connected to brothers and sisters everywhere we go . Amen . ( again)

I lost 60 pounds ....... then just gained 15 back in a week ................I binged . I purged ..........

I have a hard time eating breakfast when I know I ate too many calories the night before ........... I have at least stopped purging for now ........... and I threw away the laxatives and diuretic tablets .........even the miodols..........no cheating that way ..... Here is a prayer for all of us : . Dear Lord, You know each and every one of us readng this ............. You know our lives .our struggles .. and our hurts . You know why we do these things . and Father I just pray You work in each of our lives to heal these things in us ...... and help restore health to our emotions , our hearts , minds and our bodies . Jesus we know YOU love us and want our bodies to be healthy . Give us the courage and the stregnth to heal these things ............ put poeple in our lives to help each of us .. and to make it possible . In Jesus name . AMEN
