college and my ED

So I started college this week :) I actually moved in last week though, but classes started today. It's been an interesting week.. a lot of changes and new people. I'm recovering from my ED and the last month of summer I was losing the last couple of pounds the healthy way because I just want to maintain. Maybe it's the stress of starting classes and being a way from home but this past week has been really crazy. I've eaten a lot of junk food and have been taking laxatives. I feel like I'm relapsing through bulimia. I'm trying to stop.. obviously this is something I don't want. It's just hard you know.. people are always asking you out to lunch and stuff.. I'm surprised I haven't gained like 20 pounds with all the stuff I've eaten lol. I'm actually still fluctuating around the same weight I was befpore I left home.. tomorrow I need to stop this binging and then restricting.. I did eat a lot of chocolate today and poptarts and took a laxative.. but it's my last laxative. Tomorrow is a new day and I'm getting back on track going to the gym and everything.

Has anyone had similar experiences? What did you do to overcome it? I really don't want that freshman 15.. but I want to get rid of my ED.

Please stop this pattern before it is too late. I am a college grad, but when I went to school I actually lost weight without even realizing it because I was studying and making healthy choices. Please stop with the laxatives. This is not recovery, this is not the way out. I am so glad that you have turned here for help, but remember that you are making a new change in your life and starting a new year, do you really want to be out with friends and have issues due to the laxatives? Do you really want to carry this demon all through school when you were doing so well?

I know that moving can be frustrating and cause anxiety, but you can use this for your benefit. Pour the bottle down the toilet and go have yourself a healthy snack. There are healthy options, don't allow yourself to hurt your body like this anymore.

You seem strong...prove it to yourself and your body!
