Q: Hi im 15/f and I am what you can call it a "semi-bulimic"

i am "semi-bulimic" because i only purge when i feel i need to...

you know what i mean? like if i feel i ate a lot

which i feel that right now ...because i decided to go on like no bread or potato or cake and snack crap... only for a week like south beach diet... but nooo i hate to eat the fricken cup cake (not one but 5)
and i had to have potatoes and bread...

I knew i was full when i was eating cakes...but i shoved that in anyways because it tasted so good...ugh and now im feeling rly full and feel really guilty that i couldnt control my stupid
temtation i had... so yeah...

I mean i am even on this stupid pill that is suppose to control my hunger but it doesnt... i mean it doesnt make me hungry but i still eat it anyways cuz it taste good... how can i control my temtations??? i've been through this so many times that i am depressed all the time i think about me losing control over my self like that...

so anyone please help me stop over eating like that... please??? thank you so much in advance

I went through the same thing a couple of times. Just think to yourself what the outcome will be when you're eating. It helped me a lot to put a certain amount in a bowl and eat it in a room far away from the kitchen so I wouldn't go back and get more.
Also, do things to keep your mind off eating. I don't reccomened watching tv because it's harder to focus in front of it. Try reading a book or meditating. If none of this helps, then ask a friend or family member to try and help you stop eating once they feel like you've had enough. Once you get into good habits, it will be REALLY easy from then on.
It's hard at first but if I could do it then so can you.
