msaprilj » mmb How are you dong? I haven't been doing so well and I know it's because I have been under a tremendous amount of stress and not taking care of myself. I am going to get back on track though. As long as I stick to my structure and plan I do sooo much better. I hope you are still doing great! I'm wishing you all the very best ;-) 1 hour ago |

SarahTravels » trixie_25 Ooooh I've been to California before! A long time ago, but I absolutely loved it! Such a beautiful place :) SE is so hard to implement! I decided to try SE about a month ago, and I'm still working on it. A friend suggested the tupperware plan, and I think that might make it easier to start SE. I find that when I slip up and b/p, i feel like the whole day's ruined too, but I'm trying to take it one meal at a time. That way you don't have to wait until tomorrow to 'start again', you just have to wait til the next meal. How have you been... 3 hours ago |

SarahTravels » kelley23 I can imagine! Those dreams must really suck :( But a month purge free!!!! That is so amazing!!! What an inspiration for me! People like you show me that it's possible to try and end this cycle. I slipped up again today, but I'm going to take your advice and just take it one meal at a time... a friend of mine suggested I try the tupperware plan, so I think I'm going to give that a shot, at least to start me off! Do you have any ideas/plans to cut down on overeating? 3 hours ago |

so_done_with_this i. feel. disgusting. bad, bad b/p today. and i gave up halfway through my purge because it just wasn't coming up. and i know i shouldn't have, but i totally stopped eating the rest of the day because of it. i was looking forward to the weekend. gonna be hanging out w. my bestie the whole time. and constant people around WILL stop my b/p. but i have the lowest self-esteem right now and we are having a beach party. i'm worried i'm going to starve myself and then we know what's next...i just want to be strong for once! 6 hours ago |

greeneyes » RiseUp You have the ability within you to defeat ed. Inpatient will give you the tools and support you need. But it is you that will ultimately conquer and defeat ed, with their support. I hope this dosen't bring you down, just want you go in with realistic expectations and not be disappointed. <3 6 hours ago |

so_done_with_this » Goneforever yeah, it only works if you start something before that urge hits. ugh. i gave in. i just can't be alone right now. it's so hard. i'm going to be with a friend all weekend. and i mean constantly, every second. so i'm really hoping i can have a break. and man, i totally know what you mean about the muffin thing! i used to love baking so much! but now i either bake for other and don't eat any of it. or end up scarfing the whole things myself....it sucks. how did you do? 7 hours ago |

greeneyes » RiseUp so i wanted to say that its great that your so hopeful and willing to fight. But i don't want you to go in thinking that inpatient is going to completely fix you, or your life. Its a process. You will fail sometimes, recovery isn't perfect. It will be a good but painful process, and when you leave you'll be more equipped to fight ed. However, it will still be really tough. You can do it, absolutely, just be aware that it isn't like some magic pill. And they can't fix ed for you but your the primary force in your recovery. 7 hours ago |

kachina » Blackbarbie hi love, hope ur staying strong and not giving into that critical voice that tells you that you are not worthy or beautiful. i too have gained lbs. and find it to be quite a challenge, but still nourish myself tho because the anorexia leads to future bingeing, and the cycle is too destructive. i hate eating protein but find it helpful to feel satiated.i miss the thin look too but lets not give in to this monster. we are more than this disease and its delusions..we know bwtter than what society has fed us..keep strong doll 9 hours ago |

Goneforever » so_done_with_this Aahh I totally know how difficult being on your own is. I love it but hate it at the same time if you know what I mean. Just try your best to distract yourself maybe read a book ? Keep on the move. Take a shower. Tidy something? I know that these probably wont help an awful lot as the desire to binge is far stronger than anything else! Hope your doing okay :) Love & best wishes Sarah x 10 hours ago |

Without adequate calories and nutrition you remain susceptible to binge eating (Marcia Herrin 2003).

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.
