  • Where to begin...?

    I've been missing for a while and I'm sorry for that. It's just that things started to get better... until they weren't ok anymore.
    Basically I was abusing my body and it was a living hell, I couldn't take it anymore. So I started changing things, eating healthy meals, not purging anymore. I felt so much better and actually lost all the weight I had gained from all the binge/purge episodes. And then that high came back, the one you get when you finally feel in control, I just knew I had to push myself further. I started cutting back on food to the point where I was barely functioning anymore even though I was thrilled with the numbers on the scale.
    People started to worry and I started to believe maybe it was ok if I ate a bit more since I was supposed to be so thin. You all know where this is going. Once I started to eat normally I couldn´t stop and next thing I knew I was back to b/p-ing. And of course there's the weight I've put on from being so stupid and I feel like I can´t stop...

    So basically I guess that staying away from here clearly did not help me be less obsessed or manage to work out this ed. I don't really know what I'm going to do next. All I know is that today for the first time in weeks I managed to stop myself before starting a binge and I have to count every small victory. Maybe tomorrow will also be a good day. And it`s always nice to have a place to sort my thoughts and share with others who understand.

  • Where do I go from here?

    Things have not gone better since my last post. I'm depressed, anxious, and overworked. When things in life don't go so great I turn to starving or to bingeing and purging and lately, as you might notice, things have not gone so great. I starved and people worried so I began to eat which of course lead to overeating and purging. And then, after 7 years struggling on and off with this eating disorder, all hell broke loose and I hit an all time new low. I starved for as long as I could, ingested massive amounts of foods every time I finally decided to eat in front of people and of course spent hours purging and taking laxatives to the point where my stomach is a mess and it burns constantly, I'm purging blood (and not because of small scratches) and I just feel like a total wreck...

    As usual, I was doing a great job at hiding it and being your perfect text book girl with an eating disorder. Of course people noticed the weight loss but I blamed it on stress. I should've known my mother was watching me more closely.

    Today she finally got the proof she needed. I don't even want to know what this happened but she knows about my purging last night (probably the bitchy maid told on me again). I seriously don't want to deal with her but she said that I have to do SOMETHING or else she'll send me to a clinic!! Whaaaaat? There is no way I'm doing that. The thing now is that if I don't want that to happen I have to tell her what I'm going to do about it. And I have no fucking idea. I've seen therapists and nutritionists a bunch of times and I usually follow their advice at first but every time it's only a matter of weeks or months before something triggers this whole thing again.

    So what to do? Don't get me wrong, I still hate the way I look and wish I could be just a bit thinner (I'm nearly at the weight I want to be) but I can't keep hurting and messing myself up like this. I wonder if I should see this as the opportunity to do something about it. But what?

    Needless to say that any comments and suggestions would be incredibly appreciated right now, I just feel so lost and I know many of you can relate so I really hope some of you can help me out.

    Take care!

  • Ups and downs

    Everything concerning feeding myself can be so unpredictable with this eating disorder.
    Yesterday I barely ate all day, then at night i binged, purged some of it and took laxatives to make up for the rest I couldn't bring up.
    Today I feet so gross. But without even planning it or thinking about it too much I ended up fasting the whole day, consuming nothing but water, coffee and tea. So by the time I eat something tomorrow I'll have fasted for 36 hours. Good, I needed that.
    People still seem to think that I've gotten too thin, that I need to eat more. And even though my clothes do fit looser, all I know is that I'm still too large. I  n e e d  to be thinner. But for now I just really need to sleep.

  • I should've known better

    It's always the same. After a little while of people telling you that you are looking too thin you start to believe it. And of course, that means that when you sit down to eat with them you actually believe that you can eat a normal meal and everything will be ok.
    But of course, after 7 years with an eating disorder, it never works out like that.

    I had dinner with my parents and this normal meal led to overeating and eventually to a gross binge. I was just going to go to sleep like that but I couldn't, I felt so full it was sickening and I just had to purge. It was just such a relief. However, after over a month without doing it I feel incredibly guilty, I can't be this weak.

    So I screwed up but I took care of it. After purging and taking laxies I'm desperate for a good night's sleep. Then tomorrow I can go back to being that girl who barely eats and everyone worries about so that I can keep losing this damn weight.

  • Concerns

    I really don't feel a lot thinner but I guess I must've lost some weight from the way people are reacting. After over a week off I went to work today. One of the bosses saw me and he just stared and asked if I had a lost a lot of weight because even thou I've always been skinny (yeah right) apparently my face looks sunken. I mumbled something about being the same weight as before but during lunch I had to make an effort to finish my plate (chinese veggies and a little rice) while both my bosses stared. Nice.
    Then my mom keeps begging me to let her know if any of my old "issues" are back and is constantly repeating how thin I look. It sucks because I have given in and actually had a few more things to eat in front of her just to stop her from worrying.
    If I keep listening to people and caring about what they think I'll never reach my goal. I'm so stressed and have so much on my mind, I have to focus on the only thing that is safe and that I can control. We all know how that goes. My bmi is 18.8 today, it just has to get lower.
