Welcome to 'Bulimia Overview' section of this website.
At Bulimia Help we discuss bulimia and its origins, along with many dreaded health complications that can associate with it.
Learn about the dangers of food restriction; we take a peek into food restriction and how it can lead to both mental and physical health complications, not forgetting how it can lead to binge eating.
Learning about bulimia is important to help get a clear understanding of what is happening to you. I understand how difficult it is living with bulimia; however, I also understand that you can make a full recovery from it!
I hope you find this information useful and a helpful starting point for your recovery.
Best wishes,

By replacing binging with normal eating you will eat less food overall. In turn you are less likely to gain weight.

PLAN, PLAN, PLAN IN ADVANCE. Plan what you are going to eat during your day. What are you going to do if you are in a situation that triggers b/p. Thinking all the time about recovery is part of the eating disorder. I need to focus on the real life instead. Don’t trust yourself. If I know I always binge during an X situation (like being alone at home around 5pm), I need to go out at that time or find another activity. I am not strong enough to just be at home by myself and act normally. If I eat those cookies because I am feeling lonely they won’t make my friends appear. Trust yourself, and your body. Tell yourself you are able to do it. Tell yourself that you are not going to gain one pound because you ate a piece of cheesecake. God is an important part of my recovery If I eat tons of food, all the time, I will gain weight. I can’t have cheesecake and hamburger and fries everyday, in every meal, but I can have them once in a while. I purge not only because of my emotions, but it is an easy way to control my weight. I love food.

If you do think you might suffer from an eating disorder, it is important that you talk to your General Practitioner, as there are many physical complications that can arise from being at an unhealthily low weight or from losing weight very quickly, or from purging. We advise you to seek professional help with working on an eating disorder.
