how are u dealing with .....

[ELEcKTRA]

Just in case some of u girls had an eating disorder in the past i would like to know how are u dealing with it right now ????
in my case i still have those little rules of how to eat certain things or how not to eat some other ones... sometimes i eat a lot of a certain thing like nuts or yogurt as a snack ... lets say for a few weaks until i get so sick of it that i can't even see it anymore or smell it so i have to star eating something else instead . sounds weird ... but there is a bunch of rituals that u develop whenever u have an eating disorder and they dont always go away.

I'm a binge eater. To avoid falling into the trap, I keep stuff out of my kitchen. My fridge and panty is stored with nothing but clean food and things I won't binge on (like bread, cereal, jelly, anything full of sugar and full of carbs).

I'm 39 years old now and I was bulimic up until February when I decided to change my life forever and eat healthy and sensibly and start working out. Thank God I am in good health still after doing all of that myself but still regret doing it but now I am going to keep moving forward. I now follow the Eating For Life program(By Bill Phillips). Thier website that explains all about it:
www.eatingforlife.com

Since february, I went from a size 12 to almost(soon) a size 3/4 and I am 4'11. I am very proud of what I am doing with my life. And working out is and always will be a big part of it from now on

Hope this helps.

I have backslides sometimes. I generally am able to feed a lot of those compulsions into being on really healthy clean diets. But sometimes I'll be dieting well for a while and eat a bunch of junk and that can get hard.

It's a fine line to walk sometimes but I feel like I know myself and what triggers me enough to know when I'm getting too caught up in the diet/training thing and it's getting unhealthy. But overall I think it's saved me.

well , in my case i took me like 3 years to actually be able to say that i'm ok now ..... i haven't had any relapses since i moved to miami .....i used to live in california , it kind of helped me the fact that i changed my life completely...and it was really hard at the begining cause pretty much all i would eat was cereal , fruit and yogurt . little by little i started eating more normal and trying to think that there was no need for me to be that strict to myself and keep punishing myself with no reason ... so i went from 86 lbs to around a 100 , i'm 5'2 so i feel a lot healthier now and eat pretty much everything i see.

It's a whole new way to think about food. It's a whole different way to treat your body. It's really a great way to live and take care of yourself instead of slowly killing yourself.

I have had issues with food since I can remember. When I was in high school I didn't eat until I had no choice to and then I would binge and purge and one day finally purged blood. Scared the shit out of me. I still have issues like I feel like I don't deserve to eat blah blah blah. I also have to steer clear of laxatives I started using them to get rid of my food again going back to the thinking that I don't deserve to eat. It's crazy how I let food rule my life like that but it goes much deeper than the food and I believe it's the same way with all of us on here that have food issues. It's something I deal with on a daily basis and probably will always.
