Hey I just joined this site to pledge that I will never binge and purge again.

I am 5'6" and about 140lbs at this point... I used to be very happy with my body, but ever since I moved to Washington DC i started in a destructive cycle of binge eating and purging. It has only made me gain weight, about 15 lbs (I haven't dared step on a scale).

I am disgusted with my body and want nothing more than to be healthy and functional. I think about food way too much.

I don't want to go on too long here, but all I want to say is that I want my life back and I swear on this thread that I will never binge and purge again. If I do I swear to post here and let everyone know.

Any support or encouragement is much appreciated.
