Hey blackbeltchica! I'm sorry to hear that you're not in a great place right now. I think we've all been there and can relate about not being happy with our bodies, even after losing "X" pounds. I know you know this, but I just want to stress the fact that drinking, binging and then taking laxatives is not a habit you want to adopt. Why hurt the body you've worked so hard to build? Also, I want to say congrats on the weight you've lost! That took hard work and dedication and you need to keep reminding yourself of how far you've come and how much healthier you are because of it!
From reading a lot of other posts on this forum lately, it seems that the best advice for you would be to take a step back and just breeeeaaathe. Try maintaining your current weight (not as a plateau but just as being happy with where you are). Keep exercising and improving your healthy habits and eating well, but take away some of the stress and pressure that goes along with wanting to drop those last pounds. I feel like you'll be less likely to cheat and binge and go through that vicious cycle.
Lastly, keep checking in with us! It's ok to be unhappy with parts of your body (who isn't??) but the important thing is to find healthy ways to deal with it, and there are some pros here who can definitely help you out with that!
