i'm new to the site, i'm female, 5'5" 150 bf 14% prepping for first comp, cardio 2x day weights 5x wk, 9 wks out from comp, my problem is i am bulimic and struggling badly. the dieting down is triggering me bad. i feel alone in this and am hoping there is someone who competes in bb and is in recovery. i am in recovery from other addictions but this is the worst one yet and it is getting in the way of my dreams/love for bb. can anyone relate?

I'll bump this up for you in case anyone else has something to say. AN and bulimia are serious disorders that should be talked about professionally. The damage to your overall health as a result is not something to take lightly. If it helps, there's message boards where more people can possibly offer some assistance on the subject.

Best of luck and keep us posted on how you are doing.

thank you for your help, i'm checking out that message board. i've gotten a lot of support here. i haven't fully accepted it but i'm going to have to put off competing for a while until i get this under control. it's hard bc the date of the show(s) i wanted to do are approaching and there's this sense of loss and let down, but i know my disorder is making me crazy and going all the way through the contest process i would be even crazier if i don't address this stuff. when i am able to get up there i'll be much stronger on all levels bc i'll know what i had to overcome to do it, but right now it's a struggle, but i'll keep going. thanks again, trapqueen

Good to here you're getting some positive feedback on here. You're health and safety are far more important than any bodybuilding show.
