1) Keeping good health (e.g.(JD)'s post has freaked me out quite a bit!), 2) I value my happiness - however much it felt right in the moment... binging and purging always left me feeling down afterwards... whether it was hours after or days, feeling down always seemed to follow, 3) it's so hard to hide it and always left me feeling like I was lying to people - it left me feeling separate and low

Main rule: If I wouldn't recommend how I eat to a friend, I try not to eat like that myself... this always rules out purging xx
