Hi Monty

I used to binge and starve - was never brave enough to make myself sick though. You must think of your teeth as well as your body, and when the urge comes on, think of something else. Do something else. Do something that gives you a high. There are more things in life that give you a high or do something that simply interests you. Sit down and start writing lists of things to do - occupy your hands and your mind.

Do not allow a basic instinct to take over your life - like eating (which we must do to survive). Eating should just be a background to your life not your complete reason for living. Don't be a slave to it, we only pass this way once. Don't waste your life on it.

Get on with living and let food be something in the background, like taking a shower or cleaning your teeth. Do not be beaten by this! Only you can do it!

All good wishes, JuneB
