Hi
I've been trying to recover from bulimia for a little over a year now and I think it's hard to say stop cold turkey especially because the nature of our ED is to be perfectionists so if one day we DO have a slip up then we will be even more angry with ourselves.
Something that I found helpful before binging or purging was to ask myself "what am I trying to communicate through my ED right now" and if I was able to pin point it (for example I want my Mom to know that I'm angry at her) then I would make that call instead. And I knew that I could always binge or purge after if I still wanted to but I usually didn't because I was taking care of the core issue.
