What our members say...
"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!"

i cant really do this because we dont really buy groceries. its nobodys fault. i buy my own groceries, fruits, cereal, veggies but i cant plan what im going to eat most of the time, i like the idea n im gonna try it but its kinda hard when most of the time we go to restaurants. i am eating, i have my healthy snacks n everytime i go out i ask for a salad or a soup. so thats how i plan things. i do some research on whats healthy n i ask for it.
its working for me, i think its a different kinda of meal plan.

ok I know its a positive thing but i cant help but feel its too much like a diet. i think im at the stage now where i've been able to get my mind away from a dieting mentality. i dont think half about food exept for when im hungry or its time to start making dinner.i have become more aware of when my body feels hungry or when its full.i do still binge at night time though.i feel i may be going backwards if i start living day to day on a food schedule.I think im most scared of not sticking to it aswell then i will feel hopeless.it would be good if i still wasnt consciously aware of how much i was eating and how irratically i was eating.i dont know.

yea i tried this..it lasted one day and then i was just like pfft im still hungry and then i ended up over eating...but the time management element is def helpful liek with the timed 3 meals and snackage?
all the times that i have planned and shopped for my meals then i become rigid and set myself up for failure. I believe in one day at a time or one meal at a time.
I cant do it! I cant plan a full meal without feeling guilty or overeating. If i want to do this i have someone who checks if i stick to it but im too afraid to show anyone. I cant believe im so scared..!
Hey Azula.. I understand how you feel. I wuld literally like someone to control my body and brain for me becase, even when its a salad, the moment i feel full I regret it and try to puke.. its really stupid but I wish we could help each other somehow.
Be Strong

Yrs of pain... I love life too much to give up on myself!
i feel the exact same way ... i wish i had a partner in fighting this!
I feel good after making a meal plan for next week. Although I don't 100% trust myself to follow it as I am good at making excuses. I don't know whether it would be a good idea to share my meal plan with a friend or not. Whatever happens I will try my hardest not to beat myself up if I don't fully stick to it.
