Day 66!
Wow! I can't believe I have made it to day 66!
I am starting to be able to reason my way out of the b/p urges, and it's getting easier to deal with my triggers.
I still have days, like yesterday, where I am fighting as hard as ever to stop myself doing something bad; but I am focused on being free of this and I can see the progress I am making.
I have just discovered that day 100 for me, is the day that I will board a cruise ship in Auckland(NZ) for a one month holiday with my bf, sailing through the south pacific, then Hawaii, and finally stopping in LA for a week! What a way to celebrate day 100!
I am stunned that this holiday will start on day 100, what are the chances of that!
So, now I have a huge goal to keep me on track.
In 11 years I don't think I have made it past day 4 b/p free, and now I'm at day 66 and aiming for 100. I would have never believed I could do this. This site has been a true life-saver for me. I am recovering, and it's thanks to you guys for supporting and inspiring me to make this change.
Thank you! Thak you! Thank you!
It is possible! Believe you can do it! We can recover!
I'm here for anyone who needs help with this!

"Thanks for everything you are doing. I really appreciate the help you provide and without it I wouldn't be able to continue."
Rose, Scotland"I could never fathom the fact that 1 in 7 college-aged females were bulimic, yet I'd never met anyone who talked about their experience and the internet had an array of depersonalised information. Nothing useful. Nothing that made you feel you weren't alone or that there was hope. Finding the forum and advice at BulimiaHelp.org was the first time I could connect with other people who were experiencing life just as I was. I logged on everyday and started to learn about the illness, but most importantly to learn that there was hope. I can credit a lot of my improvements to the community and information at this site."
Krystyn, Melbourne"I am truly happy to have found this site & to find so much useful information and support."
Isabel Pasadena, CA"I found it at a very difficult time in my life and it was the light at the end of a very dark tunnel. I wish it had existed years ago and I really credit it with turning my relapse into recovery"
Meryl Wellington, NZ"With the help of BulimiaHelp.org I feel 100% comfortable about accepting the fact that I have a disorder. Everything is confidential and what makes it better is you can relate to others going through the same problem. THANK YOU BULIMIAHELP.ORG FOR HELPING ME GET BACKON THE RIGHT TRACK TO A HEALTHY LIFE!"
Amanda San Diego, United States"I'd like to thank the BulimiaHelp website for everything it has done for me. Bulimia is truly a devastating sickness, but it has so little support. This website has really helped me understand that I'm not alone with my illness and that it IS possible to become healthy again. Thank you so much!"
Aleksa Hollen Los Angeles, CA"Bulimia help.org has been tremendous help for me in my fight to overcome bulimia."
Anonymous Pittsburgh, PA"I used to binge at night, every night. I was so ashamed I would hide it from my husband. To this day he still does not know. Bulimia Help has been a huge success with me. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I feel like I have finally gotten my life back."
Daniel, Galway Ireland"I really found myself here by accident, but am I ever SOOO happy that I found the support here that I need."

66 days!!!! you rock sister! My new hero! I've had a crappy week with b/p and you are my inspiration for the days to come. I wish you all the happiness in the world, and there is no doubt that you can go 100 days!
It's wonderful to hear that number. It really gives me hope.
There's Hope,
Piper
That's awesome! I'm picturing your amazing cruise and am so jealous...you deserve it! Thanks for posting this, I needed a bit of a pick me up.
(P.S. I made my 3rd trip to Hawaii with my boyfriend in August and had a blast. It's the best place to forget about what troubles you. :) )
don't waste a day
thanks so much for sharing your recovery with us... you truly are a gift of hope to us all
If you aren't good at loving yourself, you will have a difficult time loving anyone, since you'll resent the time and energy you give another person that you aren't even giving to yourself. -- Barbara DeAngelis
I'm so happy for you! I hope that day will come for me. Keep going. You are soo loved!
I am measured by value, not by success!
This is proof we all can get better- Thanks for posting :)
Keep it up & enjoy your well deserved cruise!

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.
We started out kind of close together didn't we!! You have continued to inspire me, and help me, and keep me focused when I think it's just too hard!
I'll be celebrating my 100th in about two weeks, trying to think of something special to do! But that is AMAZING, you so deserve this so much :), to see people start to find such happiness out of the shadows is all the inspiration i will ever need to never give up this fight x x

"..Take some time learn to breathe and remember what it means to feel alive and to believe something more than what you see.."
Just letting you all know that for me making it to day 68 (now) has been possible because of all the support from all of my amazing friends on here, I feel so connected to all of you. Every message and comment truly makes us stronger in this fight, and many of you have saved me from a near slip, or picked me up out of a slump with your kindness and inspirational words. You are like little angels scattered all over the world, making a global web of support. Thank you all so much.
There is one friend on here that has been my Guiding Light through these 68 empowering days ... She is about 18 days ahead of me in recovery, fighting all the urges, sharing her insight, and showing me (and all of us!) the way from the complete opposite side of the world ... and she is right above this message!
Catherine, you are amazing! You know I wouldn't have made it this far without you. One day I'm going to come to the UK and celebrate our recovery at your place! :)
Thankyou all for your comments. It really gives me the strength to keep fighting ... and winning!
We can do this!
