You are loosing not gaining, so dont worry. Weight loss takes a long time, i know it's disheartening when you only lose a little bit, but you are going the right way. Also all the healthy eating and exercise will make a fitter person so think about the benefits from that too. Im very similar to you, 5'3 at 175lbs. I lost 2lbs this week and im aiming for 4lbs every 2 weeks, although i know it'll be hard, im still going to take it every 2 weeks so if i only lose a little one week i wont get to upset as i will double my efforts the week after! Keep it going, you will see the results as long as you persevere!

Im in, I weigh 178lbs and am only 5'3. Going for it now, really want to be 136lbs, only 42lbs to go, im going to weigh in every Sunday(in the hope i'll be good at the weekends) and i'll keep you guys posted on a Monday! Lets do it, lets get to our target weights! We can all help each other, just say where you are going wrong and hopefully someone will have a tip! Ive been so rubbish at weekends, but this weekend i'm going to break the chain and be good, i think weighing in on a Sunday will help! Running home from work, so hopefully i'll shift some weight this week. Keep going everyone, think about what you'll look and feel like when you're there!

Thats ok, it's what we are here for. If 1500 scares you just get to your 1200! Thats an achievement in itself. Your in right frame of mind to get where you want to be, i'm sure you'll suceed. As for my stomach pains, they went fairly quickly considering i've been bulimic for 9 years, but i've never starved myself, just binged and purged. I'm finally feeling i'm going to get rid of my ed for good as i feel more in control of food, and i've had to push myself to eat high calorie foods and naughty foods and not be sick. The pain is horrible at first, and i havnt have an edema so i can only imagine the pain that gives you. Take it one step at a time, and if you fail today there's always tomorrow. I think the hardest thing for me is not beating myself up about eating food, i have always felt really guilty about eating! I still do now but that feeling is slowly fading away. If you ever need to talk, just get in contact, i'm only on here at work though so im not around at the weekends. Hope to see a thread from you soon saying your doing well.x EDIT: Like i said if you are scared by 1500 make sure you reach the minimum for a woman 1200, and when you feel you can up your intake. |

Hey, i know how you feel. I've had it for 9 years!!!!!! all it's done is make me put on weight. I haven't purged for over a month now. The way i look at it is, if i over eat it's better to keep it in me for that one night and exercise or eat less the next day. I know it's so hard to not do it when you've eaten something naughty or jsut over eaten, but it you purge you'll slow your metabolism down and healthy things will make you put weight on! Ive been eating sensibly and exercising to strengthen my heart. Ive lost a fair bit of weight, and it's staying off. I think what made me realise this has to STOP NOW is when i read about how purging damages your heart, liver,throat and teeth. Oh, and it can kill you!!! You are an attractive girl, and purging will make your face all puffy and make your glands swollen making your face look bigger. If i can do it, you can girl. You seem like a strong person, and you reaaly want this to end, and you can do it. Take it one day at a time. All the luck in the world to you.x

You are doing the right thing so far by eating your calories. As for the stomach cramps i've had that problem and i understand how painful it is when you eat. I find that eating little and often, ie six small meals a day helps with the pain, gets you metabolisim going and gets your stomach used to digesting food. Your won't gain a hundred pounds by doing this, it'll simply help you gain abit and help you to maintain when you are at the weight you want to be. You are very underweight at the moment and you try to aim for 105lbs to be at a health weight. Im 5'4 and weigh 160lbs, ive been bulmic for 9 years and i've decied to change my life and be healthy. Bulimia made me fat, i was at 177lbs not so long ago, but by being healthy eating reasonably and exercising i'm losing the weight. I'm aim to be 135lbs. At one stage i couldnt exercise without my heart hurting, but i've built it up gradually and i can go hiking for 7 hours, and run for an hour. I feel great, dont get me wrong it's hard not to go back to the old ways. But those ways take your health and make you fat in the long run. You have to be positive, and the pain from eating will lessen quicker than you think. I also drink alot of water and don't drink alcohol very often. I've been doing well for a month and a half and i'm not going back to where i was. It took about a week for my stomach to start to feel better, and i think you nned to up your calories to about 1500 as the very minimum for losing weight is 1200 a day and you want to gain! This is a typical day of eating until i felt well enough to eat three meals a day Breakfast 25grams cereal, skimmed milk 10am - carrots/celery or slices of apple 12pm lunch - cuppa soup with small bread roll/ half a sandwich with chicken and mayo or tuna mayo 3pm - grapes/cherries or any fruit i can pick at 5pm dinner - small bowl pasta with chicken/bacon or small portion of stir fry with veg 7pm - snack - slice of toast with lemon curd/peanut butter Thats what i did for about two weeks and my stomach was sorted. However if i over eat now or eat anything really fatty(like pizza) i still feel abit ill, but i know that will go eventually! I dont know if this has helped you, but i think you are lucky to have some support as no one in my life knows! Best of luck, you can do it!x

I know it's all good and easy to say get professional help, but sometimes you just can't do it, even though you know you should. So, if this isn't an option for you, then look at other ways to help yourself. If the people you work with aren't nice, look for another job, there will be jobs out there for you, get out of where you work as it's not helping you get better. You will feel better about yourself just by doing this. Next thing is, if you are self harming and you have done this infront of your sister, what are your sisters views on this? Get her to support you in getting over this. In any kind of disorder just letting someone you trust know what you are going through can help you so much. Trust your sister, tell her your fears. She may come with you to a support group or a doctor, etc. Lastly and most importantly, believe in yourself. You are an attractive young woman, you've got the world at your feet. Start living your life for those people who don't have long to live and can't do anything about their illnesses. Whenever you have negative thoughts channel your mind to something that makes you happy or makes you feel good. Smile more and you'll find people smile back at you. As for losing weight, unfortunately it's the same old. Exercise(which makes you feel happier because of endorphines) eat between 1200-1500 cals a day to lose weight gradually. Change the way you think about food. Have the occasional treat and dont beat yourself up about it. Everyday is a new day, and you can forget about yesterday and get on with your goals. Best of luck, you can do it.x

I know what you are going through, i have my xmas dinner in a few hours and it's 3 courses of delicious calorie laiden food. Im going to think about it like this, i have worked hard for my company they are rewarding me with lovely food. Im NOT going to feel guilty about it because it is one meal, one day. Tomorrow i can eat healthy and exercise. I have had this disorder for 9 years and im only just realising how it ruins your life. Im always anxious when im out eating with anyone and i cant relax. Not to mention the damage you do to your body every time you do it. One dinner isn't going to make you fat, and you deserve to eat nice things and enjoy your life. You are doing amazingly well, you havnt purged for so long, you CAN do this. One tip is to try and leave a little bit on your plate and eat really slowly so you can gage when you are full. I leave a little bit on my plate because if i do i feel like im not greedy. That probably sounds crazy, but just by leaving a little bit i can prove to myself i have a tiny bit of self discipline! I know it's hard, you are doing alot better then me, im down from everyday to once a week. You can beat this, just beleive in yourself. You must have been doing something right for six months. Best of luck, and feel free to message me anytime.

Im recovering from blulimia. This website has helped me so much. Ive never told anyone about it, and just being able to talk about it is such a relief. Ive only been bad once in four days and im feeling strong. I know im going to fight the urge all the way. Ive just had my lunch and have no desire to get rid of it for a change. Im going to eat a healthy dinner and play badminton tonight for a few hours. I am still overweight at 169lbs and only 5'4, but im going to lose it in a good and healthy way! Everyone on here is so supportive and honest, and reading your stories and seeing how strong some people are has inspired me. If anyone is going through the same thing as me i'm happy to offer all my support to them. |

Thankyou everyone, this has really helped and your honesty is great. I really needed to know how much damage i am doing to help me stop this horrible ritual. Over the weekend i only purged once over 3 days, im so pleased with that. I am determined not to do it this week, and if i go a week without doing it i CAN do it every week, forever. Thanks for you input and support and love and hugs to all.xx

Original Post by kitkatbarbabe: Im trying to recover too, im 25 and have had this since i was 16! Ive never been to see anyone as i dont think i have it that bad. Some days i can go without even thinking about it, but latley i have been so bad, doing it 2-3 times a day. Its scary and i cant tell anyone as im so ashamed! Im quite heavy at 160lbs 5'4, so no one ever suspects. Today i've been good so far, but i'm praying my fiance wont cook me something unhealthy for dinner as this may set me off. Gotta stya strong and realise how damaging this disease is. Count me in with the group support, by god i need it! |
