Hi everyone. I have been lurking for a few weeks, scared to post even though everyone seems so encouraging. I fight bulimia, and have been for over 15 years. I am seeking therapy, but I guess I just haven't found the right help or something. I noticed there were many here who have bulimia and/or binge eating disorders. I am overweight, and being bulimic does not help me lose weight, contrary to what people think of those with the disorder. I stay "thin" when I am in control of the disorder, and follow correct weightloss guidelines. However, I always gain weight. Unfortunately, those binge (and purge) calories are not minimal just because they exit the body early

I know all the things in my head, and can recite them to you, but I still battle it. So, I am finally posting, hoping to glean from others who battle it, and are succeeding in the fight.
