What you might not realize is that now, it's not only the food that's controlling you, but the constant threat of becoming bulimic again is, too.
I know that no one wants to be controlled by something like food or a past problem.
What you should do is, before taking a bite of anything, ask yourself why you're eating that and think of all the benefits in the food...if it isn't good for you & will make you gain weight, nothing will come to mind other than, "It tastes good."
That's not a reason to take the bite because you're trading hours that would be sane for a few seconds of joy before you swallow.
Weigh your options:
-You could continue to eat bad food, then be tormented by your own mind.
-You could eat right, then feel good about it.
Your options seem to be limited right now.
But if you consider the fact that you have control over what goes into your mouth, you will experience a feeling of peace...that everything can turn out fine.
Every morning, you should compliment something about yourself when you look into the mirror.
This will help you to feel better about yourself & convince yourself that you deserve more than unhealthy food & hours of self-torment.

Trauma answered Thursday March 26 2009, 11:41 am: I'm so sorry you're going through this. Bulimia is not the way to do it, though. It may seem like a quick fix, but it is definitely not healthy. Not to mention the long term effects bulimia has which could make you look terrible.
Try eating healthier, & smaller portions, too. Plus exercise. Talk to your doctor for some other ideas. If you keep coming back to bulimia, it might be best to talk to a therapist or your doctor. [ Trauma's advice column | Ask Trauma A Question ]

I would say talk to your family or something like that, but really, they're not experienced and they don't know much. Like I said go see a therapist, and they will work with you and find a therapy for you.
