I know that many of you on this forum have experience with binging, do any of you have experiences with purging? Successes with stopping, ideas to use...I don't know....
When I was in college I was bulimic and anorexic (largely bulimic). I was in therapy for it and was "discharged", the therapy was helpful with self-image issues and helping me understand that my self image shouldn't be tied to my weight...BUT I was still an emotional eater (using food for all the wrong reasons), so during a particularly bad time in my life I gained about 40 lbs over a few months
Pregnancies added more and brought me to my highest weight.
Throughout all this time I would purge occasionally after a bad binge.
I started exercising and eating healthier (controlling binges, less comfort eating, etc.) and have lost 30 lbs.
BUT I still do occasionally purge when I go off plan or binge. (It goes in spurts - I won't for months, then will a couple of times in one week) I know it is super-unhealthy and I want to stop completely. Does anybody out there have success with or advice for this sort of thing?
