| Hi everyone,
I haven't posted for awhile, but i just weighed myself, and in the 26 days since i returned home from school i've lost 5 pounds! That may not seem like a lot but i've been steadily gaining weight for months. I've been a lot better about binges lately, although they're still there (especially for homemade brownies/cookies/cake), but at least there's hope that by eating just a little bit better the weight i've gained will come off. Since the weight I gained just reminds me of what a failure i've been, losing it makes me feel like i'm in control of this. Hope everyone is doing okay/better. I think i am, but i'm just afraid it won't be permanent since it never has been before. At least i know a lot of the things i still need to work on and have proof from the scale that if i do i'll get better. |

| Yeah i definitely think all of my friends would laugh at me, and probably say something like "don't be silly." Part of the problem for me is that i'm not overweight (yet), so no one would think it was that big of a deal.
To the poster who wanted to go talk to someone (tully? i think - it's on the previous page and i'm too lazy to check), i went to a counselor and it DID help because you have an outlet who is paid to listen to you, not judge you, and take you seriously. It was nice to talk to someone about it who i knew wouldnt say "what's the big deal? Just put down the fork." I say that to myself enough. But i should warn you that when i went, i was talking about myself so much (and so much more than i normally would) that i started to uncover additional problems, and it sort of made me feel COMPLETELY screwed up. Sooo close to binging today...one of the people i live with baked cookies, and baked goods are the absolute worst for me. So when i got home and saw them i just acknowledged that i would eat some. So far i've only eaten 3 (a miraculously small number if you knew me), but i'm literally dying to go back downstairs and eat 6 or 7 more. I'm hoping that posting here will prevent it... |

| I joined this thread a couple of weeks ago, but have been too embarrassed/depressed to post since then because i have binged every day. But today was the first day that i can honestly say i didn't binge at all! I'm so proud of myself, and i hope tomorrow will be day 2.
I noticed that a lot of posters are still in school; i am too. Have any of you told your friends or asked them for help? So far i haven't, and i feel really alone a lot of the time, but at the same time i don't see how they could understand... Lastly, thanks sarah2286 for the link - i just went to the site and it had some interesting points which will hopefully help me. Hope everyone is doing okay! |

| I just found/joined this site. I'm so happy to see some people posting stuff that i literally could have posted word for word so accurately does it describe my experience. I binged today already, and i'm posting to try and stop myself from eating another brownie. Hopefully I can post tomorrow saying that i've gone a whole day without bingeing...i wish this didn't have to be so hard. | |||
