Overcoming eating disorders

geness, you are kickin' some ED butt girl! Your attitude is awesome :)

wlibbe, hey hon! I've seen your pics of you with your sisters and, for what it's worth, I think you put 'em to shame in the looks department :p! I know what it's like to constantly feel in the shadow of another member of your family though, no matter what people say about how you compare. I am the same way with my mother. She's a career woman at the top of her field, beautiful, charismatic, slim, intelligent, gutsy, motivated, persistant, goal-orientated blah blah blah. Although my ED could be interpreted by some as a way of trying to 'beat' her at something ('if I can't be ___ than you then I'll damn well be thinner than you!' :rolleyes: ), I think it's actually more of a way of saying, heck, I quit, I'm tired of trying to live up to your gold-standard. Maybe it's the same for you with your sisters too?
As for your day without purging (I hope you lasted the evening :)), that's great! Burning throats are a bitch, as is all the rest of the 'package deal'. You had any labs done to check all is doing ok still? I'm having one tomorrow and I'm a bit nervous. It's better to know than not though, right?

Don't you just wish you never got into this god forsaken mess sometimes? This is my 7th year now and, being 21, I feel like I've gambled away the best years of my life.

Wlibbe.. You got it baby!! The first step is to recognize that this is where SOME of these feelings are coming from. Once you see that cleary you can think rationally.

Hang in there tonight when you go home. I know you do a big ass purge at dinner so chillllll tonight. You seriously need to let your throat relax for a while!! Ugh..just think about how freakin sore your throat gets after... ewwww...and your tongue and top of your mouth doesnt feel any better IM SURE! :(

Ok... After you eat a nice clean healthy meal (which will ease the "OH MY GOD...I CANT BELIEVE I JUST ATE ALL THAT SHIT I NEED TO GET RID OF IT " thought) and start to get that usual anxious feeling from keeping food down....take a nice deep breath and think about what purging does to your body... your heart, stomach, throat, HEART etc. Come on here when you feel like purging to keep you in a positive state. Good God go to bikinmoms pictures and read all these posts for strength. Print them out and keep them next to the freakin toilet if you have to!! Just stay strong. Eat healthy and be healthy!!

As for "HATING" the fishy forum... ..Ok I'll let that one slide beause I CAN see what you are talking about. lol. It can be a lil ummm "odd" but I'm sure it's all for good reason. Don't think thats going to be a good enough reason not to go to a recovery site deary because I WILLLL be looking for another one now. Just for youuuuuuuuuu!! ;)

MM-- Hang in there chickie. You KNOOOOWWWWWW the deal.
 
Mini-

Thanks honey! You are so right about the whole competition thing. I hope that I can still beat them--but in a healthy way! I have been going to the doctor and everything is fine-thank goodness. I hope that your appointment goes okay! I did not purge last night! Woo hoo!

KBGrl-

I was really good last night. I ate a bowl of chicken and vegetable soup and a couple of saltines. No purging! I feel good about it and my husband can't believe it! Thanks again for all of your advice and support! I need it!! Thanks honey!!! :kiss:
 
I have put it out there-trust me. All they have to do is want it enough which is what I am just learning.
 
Firstly

STOP reading magazines like cosmo and other "female magazines' In my opinion I see those magazines as nothing but a trigger for people with eating dissorders and the begining of all low self esteem.

Rather read magazines (health mags like shape, muscle and fitness etc) I know they're full of girls with bodies that make us jelous but at least you can automatically tell that those girls have worked hard to look good (not starving themselves but eating health) whereas models, well 99% of them at least dont have good eating habbits.

Why do women suffer from Eating Dissorders?
Look at a male magazine, full of pics of the opposite sex, where as female mags full of pics of the same sex. Have you ever seen a guy with a eating dissorder (rarely) but female mags have turned healthy girls into bullemics, and male mags have turned males into horny devils :) which would you rather be

Good Luck overcomming your dissorder :) Were all behind you on getting better :)
