"Stop eating chinese food it's the oyser sauce is bad makes you throw up"... No really you need to accept yourself as you are and eat only smaller meals ever 4 hours... If you love yourself you can stop your bad habit, by eating the right foods in moderation... You are in control and need to re condition your thoughts and change them to being normal.

If you really can't do it on your own see a doctor and get help with the problem before you end up choaking on it or dead.... This is a serious problem do someting now!!!

I have found from experience that over-exercising is just as bad as purging. I used to be accused of purging, but I later confessed that I exercise every free minute of my day.

however, I think that over-exercising would be better than purging..... I just didn't have the guts to purge, so I got up and starting jumping rope or doing jumping jacks when I felt fat, or after I ate something I felt guilty for eating.....

Stay positive though! Tell yourself that you need that food in your body and you need to be healthy!

says: My main thing is to surround myself with others that love and care about you and know about your struggles with bulimia.  My family is my best support.  But even if you dont have family around, any type of environment where  you arent alone could help.  Also try focusing your attention on something other than what you just ate.  Distracting yourself could become your lifesaver in these cases.

I am certainly no expert on purging, but perhaps understand a little of the psychology behind it. Long ago I was fairly attractive and worked to cultivate that image. I was a “sportaholoic” and felt compelled to work out and play sports every day. If I didn’t, I couldn’t look in the mirror and feel satisfied. I instead berated myself and thought how would anyone find this attractive? Then the incessant cycle of self degradation and needless wallowing would commence. I physically wore my body out and just couldn’t do it anymore and as you can imagine, my self image really took a hit. In fact, still working on that a little, okay a lot… but everyone likes a challenge.  I think a simple analogy may be in order…. A new restaurant opens up and it has this amazing façade. It exudes opulence and so enticing that you just have to make reservations and dine. The big day, you walk in, the restaurant is gorgeous… awesome… Then you get the food… ughh…. Absolutely awful…. You leave and say the ambiance was great but the food sucked….then the restaurant is relegated to a passing fancy or perhaps never frequented again. Moral of the story…. Aesthetics are great but the food is what keeps people coming back… Our self images are much the same. It can attract people, no disputing that, but what lies within is what fosters long term satisfaction and relationships.  So what is it with your own self image that makes you feel the need to purge? How you think people see you? Or how they actually see you? Trust me, how they actually see us is usually much more favorable then how we actually see ourselves. Be kind to yourself and don’t rob your body of nutrients or your own self confidence. Purging may feel like a necessity but I don’t think it really is. I had a body honed by years and years of neurotic self-induced exercise, but now I have aches and pains that wake up me every morning and go to bed with me as well. I may not be the best looking or most chiseled, but I am me… and that is something that no one else can be. Good, bad, or indifferent, we are who we are and ultimately have to live with and love ourselves…
