I was able to heal myself from bulimia, but i have to admit my bulimia wasnt about trying to loose weight, i actually wanted to gain weight. Mine was more from uncontrollable cravings, and loneliness. But once i got my cravings under control i was able to deal with the loneliness. I went to a eating disorder clinic and it didnt help at all. It probably helps people with people who are dealing with low self image and people who are trying to loose weight.
