Bulemia and gallstones...

Today was a big day for me, admitting to myself and my husband that I do have a problem with bulemia. It has been an on/off thing for years now. The past few years I've done really really well. I was up to 250 lbs. I lost 30 lbs on my own (not by throwing up) through excercise and lowfat diet. This caused me to have Gallstones and I lost another 25 because I HAD to eat well or I'd have gallstone attacks. After a while it's like I just had this thought, "Hey I can still eat whatever I want, I'll just throw it up afterward. Then I won't have gallstone attacks." This has been going on daily for a month now. The past few days I've felt really guilty about it. I told my husband tonight and it was very shaming for me. He didn't know how to respond really and I guess I can't be mad at him for that, but he doesn't really understand bulemia as a disease. He thinks I should just make throwing up not an option and I told him it's not that easy. I really don't think I'm doing that bad, not like I need to go to a special hospital or anything, but I think it could be bad if I don't stop. So anyways, I believe I've made a big step and I am turning to God for help but also needed my husbands support and needed to reveal my dirty secret to him. Support is a big thing for me. If you guys could be praying for me I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

This is a reply to # 526,270You have made the first step...admitting that you have a problem...that is wonderful. I know that it was not easy for you to do and I commend you for doing it.
Bulimea is not some thing that will just go away, as I am sure you already know. It will be there waiting for you, unfortunately. I highyly recommend that you contact your local chapter of Overeater's Anonymous and attend meetings. The people there have been through what you are going through now and will be able to offer you not only support, but also very useful suggestions. If there is not a seperate listing in your phone book, call Alcoholics Anonymous and they will have a meeting schedule.
Family members and friends really do not know what to do when you tell them that you have been practicing bulemia. The people at OA will know what to tell you because they have been there and done it them selves.
Congratulation on your thirty pound weight loss !! Low fat diets are not good for you. They will cause gall stones to form.
Please do not think of this as your "dirty secret"...it really is not that...it is some thing that has happened which I choose to call a "dis-ease".
There is a prayer forum and if you ask in there for people to prayer for you I think you will have better results.
Welcome to curezone !! Hope to see you posting more.

MoreThis is a reply to # 526,270You've definitely started the road to recovery and in the best two places.....here at curezone and with God. I know it's hard when you don't have the support you need from your spouse. I'll keep him in my prayers too. Immerse yourself in the Word and when you feel like binging go to God about it immediately. Remember we walk by the Spirit and not by the flesh. You can control your fleshly desires, it won't necessarily be easy and you may have setbacks but you will come out on top. Greater is He that is in you than he who is in the world. I'll be praying for you.

This is a reply to # 526,276Hi!
You will be in my thoughts and prayers.....
I was bulemic on and off for 4 years, getting really bad around stressful times. What has helped me is knowing that bulemia is not only triggered by emotional stress, but often it can be from having another problem like candida, or parasites, where you crave and crave carbs, and sugars..and binge on them..then the cycle starts with the guilt and shame etc....
Althought you still have to deal with the spiritual and emotional aspects of bulemia, you could give your self a greater chance by starting to balance your body. Donna Gates has a book called The Body Ecology Diet which is really good,cleansing and healing...she speaks often about bulemia in it. Check out some of the cleansing forms around here..and start flushing your liver/gall bladder so you wont have the added worrry of having an attack when you eat.
I also agree that you should check out O.A, there you can find some support from people who understand.....
Be kind and gentle with yourself.... and breathe deeply.. You have taken a wonderful step coming here!!- Re: Bulemia and gallstones... hanna

I agree with all the above writings.
To find support you have to find a group that has gone through the same problems.
I understand that you want your husband's support, but he has not had the same problem.
It is the same on these forums, my family can't help me, but the people here can better relate to what I have, because they might have been there.
It is the same with friends, I have three and only with one I discuss the emotional part of my life.
So try to get in contact with the right organisations, forums or chats.
Best wishes,
Johanna- Thank you for your support! #5015

This is a reply to # 526,270Hi Anonymous,
I am with you, I feel your embarasment and shame. I too have problems with bulemia that I cannot figure out. I try to come to the spiritual or emotional root, but I guess its just everything. Its addicting to think I can eat whatever I want and not have to "really" eat it. Going to the supermarket and buying crap that I would never really let myself eat. I had been on very strict diets most of my life.
The thing that has helped me the most was killing candida and liver flushing. I am not hungry that often anymore and my cravings are for string beans and chicken not oreos! Those critters really mess with your mind and your blood sugar.
Exercise kills them too, with oxygen, so keep going. Do you have a rebounder? You can get a cheap one on Ebay. That helps to move the bowel and lymph. The cleaner you are, the cleaner you'll eat!!
I have changed a lot since I found curezone, I hope that we can both put this chapter of our lives behind us.
I am here for you,
gracey
