| Health & Support | I don't know how to eat "normal" meals! | Mar 13 2009 02:12 (UTC) |

all i can say is you're not alone. some mornings i wake up and i feel like a robot programmed to go to the kitchen and shove food down my throat. then the guilt hits. then the whole day is centered around where i will get more food. i'm really ashamed, and i know completely how you feel. i'll be watching this post- you know, incase someone has all the answers to our bingeing problems. |

| Health & Support | Barium Meal? | Mar 13 2009 00:07 (UTC) |

the barium test took all of 15 minutes. the other one required me to sit under some xray type machine for an hour after i ate the barium eggs and toast. |

oh delightful. for my two test i had to do two things 1) eat a meal of eggs and toast enhanced with barium and drink two cups of water. easy easy. no worried 2) i stood for part and layed down for part of the next test. simultaneously drinking liquid barium through a straw. hopefully you have a strong stomach. it isn't pleasant but it's bareable, really. just suck it up and drink it slowly. it will be like a thick chalky cardboard tasting milkshake. i drooled alot. |

okeee, i've been doing this for a while. example: breakfast: 1 grain, 1 fruit, 1 dairy, 1 protein, 1 milk, 1 fat= yogurt, corn flakes, craisins, 1 tbsp PB in a bowl mixed together. 1 ounce of deli turkey. snack: 1 fruit & 1 grain= nutrigrain bar lunch: 2 grains, 1 fruit, 1 veg, 1 dairy, 3 protein, 1 fat= big salad with veggies, 3 oz. tuna, garbanzo beans (grain), and cheese/dressing (fat). chocolate milk. sun chips (2nd grain) dinner: SAME but without fruit. so something like stirfry with chicken and then a glass of milk. snack: fat free ice cream bar and an apple (fruit and grain) |

STORY OF MY LIFE. i went from 95 pounds to 135 pounds in a matter of a summer. sadly, my three years of the binge-starve cycle has returned and has suddenly taken a dangerous turn down the road of bulimia as well. it's the worst relapse i've ever had. stay strong. |

coke zero is made with fake sugar, which has been proven to cause urges to binge. so if i were you i'd switch to water with lemon, tea, or something with less of the fake stuff. |

spek i know exactly how you feel. this is similar to my journal entries every day. i've been in therapy for over a year and it has never gotten less painfull to open up. my eating disorder has numbed every emotion i used to know, and only after gaining the weight i needed have the begun to come back. i use food to numb, and that's where my problem lies. it numbs perfectly but it doesn't fix ANYTHING. I wish i knew the solution, but i don't. all i can tell you is i'm in the same boat. we all are. thanks for sharing that journal entry, it's nice to know i'm not alone |

i fell off the wagon today also. it feels terrible, but i've been through a lot of therapy for my ED and i know how to cope now. also, this is a quote i saw on CC that keeps me motivated through the tough times: "In my many years of being on this earth, I have come to believe that 3 words sum up life: it goes on." |

once i refused to eat anything but raw fruit for 3 months. but now, i set one day of the week to have a challenge food. it kind of shows you how a food out of your safety box won't kill you. something like chips, a candy bar, peanut butter and apple... talk about it with your counselor, that's what he/she is there for! |

i am so ashamed, but i was addicted to c/s for over a year and am pretty much over it now. i think i've done it like once or twice in the past 3 months? i tried multiple times to stop, but it's so damn addicting. it got to the point where i'd steal money and food from anywhere just to have a chewspit session. My mouth bled, I was bloated, and i had no friends. i got caught a lot, but nobody could stop me. that's what you have to realize-it is your decision to stop, and you have the power to say no. i take it day by day. 1) TELL WHOEVER YOU LIVE WITH. After telling my parents, I felt ashamed, but i was held accountable. they also hid the peanutbutter and other various binge foods from me. they didn't buy things in bulk, and they checked for missing food. 2)THROW OUT ALL TRIGGER FOODS until you're ready 3) mark the days you go without c/s on your calendar. It motivates you 4) Eat enough. I was eating like 500-800 cals. a day and chewspitting to get the tastes of the foods i wouldn't allow myself. in truth, chewspitting takes in a lot of cals, and you will bloat and gain weight until you stop. After a few weeks, the urge really does go away. Actually, I did it today, and after one bowl of cereal (i used to go through 10+ bowls when no one was home) i was disgusted with myself. I notice I c/s when i'm anxious about something, or when im bored. realize that it doesn't make anything better. I have so much empathy for you, and i hope you can kick the habit before it gets any worse

| Weight Gain | Anorexia and Depression. | Oct 02 2008 04:32 (UTC) |

let me tell you that i suffered from depression and anxiety as a result of my eating disorder. as i started restricting more and more, my hormones have up on me, i had no happy chemicals in my brain, and i couldn't think straight. i was put on lexapro, and after about 9 months of messing with the dosage, it started to work. they don't make you gain like crazy. i gained becuase i worked hard in inpatient care. it's so difficult to comprehend right now, but life is SO MUCH BETTER without an eating disorder. you think it makes you happy, but it just numbs. i can't cry anymore. it is terrible. don't listen to yourself when you justify your anorexia. nothing justifies and eating disorder. you are so much better than that. |

yeah, i made it two months last thursday, then blew it last saturday. (pack of oreos, chips, peanut butter, granola bars, cereal...all after a regular 2000 cal. day) so i'm back to week one. hopefully week two will go as planned, and i can get past the 2 month mark next time. stay strong everyone. and remember, eat enough during the day and you won't binge at night! |

| Foods | Night Snacking | Sep 26 2008 13:05 (UTC) |

I used to snack/binge every single night and i've pretty much kicked the habit after about 2 miserable years. i eat every 3-4 hours, ALWAYS, I make it a priority. I have my last snack at 8:30, and I'm really satisfied after it. Make sure you eat enough during the day. I am rarely hungry, so I never feel the need to binge. I eat every 3 hours so there's no TIME to binge! After your last snack, stay OUT of the kitchen! A good snack that makes you feel like you're eating dessert is Edy's Pure Fruit Bars (Strawberry). |

When i was in treatment i ate oatmeal and a banana every morning, until the dietician told me they were very constipative! so be careful with the bulky sticky foods like oatmeal and white rice. i use a capfull of miralax in my water every morning and it saved my life! i really recommend it, and so did my GI specialist |

my lunch every day: -ezekiel grain sesame seed hamburger bun with 3 oz. cajun turkey & 1 slice soy cheese -chocolate milk -small plain salad with low fat italian dressing It's so easy! I buy enough buns/meat/milk for the week, and have a drawer in the fridge for my stuff. then i make a huge salad that will last all week and so i can just spoon it out into my tupperware in the morning. This meal gives you your grains, fats, proteins, veggies, and dairy! |
