Re: I want to stop

It's good that you want out this quickly.

I learned from my years of bulimia that I am a food addict. What has really helped me, and I have been free of the cycle for almost a year, was an anti-candida low-carb diet. The advantage of this is that it will rebalance your body and ensure that you maintain a healthy weight. Unfortunately if you continue to binge you will likely be heavier than you could be without the whole mess. Your stomach will stretch and you can't purge it all anyway. My diet now is restrictive to follow, but for me I got to the point where I couldn't eat "normally" anyway, so I am thrilled to have found this way of eating. It's basically like Atkins with tons of low-carb veggies and no dairy. I am now able to carefully eat some fruit like berries and melon. The best thing is that my weight is totally stable and as thin as when I was in high school. I think the vast majority of bulimia cases is caused by chemistry with the emotions following. Only after you get clean can you then work on the emotional aspects. I might wonder, for example, why are you hurting your body for a boyfriend? I just know when I was bulimic that my mind was messed up and it was a result of my unhealthy behaviors. I wish you the best!
