I have finally accepted that I have bulimia. Though I don't binge and purge through vomiting, I take an excessive amount of laxatives, to the point of diarrhea most days. I have not lost any weight by this method. I guess I have a fairly poor body image. I am 5'8", and 150 lbs, and I want to get down to ballerina, or marathon runner size. That would be 100 lbs... I am on day 12 of my 45 day, and 45 night water fast. I am doing it for spiritual reasons, detoxification, and weight loss, or am I just deluding myself? Is there anyone else like me?
