im sure u know all of this already though. obviously what u are doing isn't working like u want it to.
also throwing up ur food is soooooo bad for u. trust me. i suffer from the consequences of doing that still. and they wont go away. i have permanent symptoms from purging.

Ugh, same here. I have permanently damaged my body because of having an eating disorder in the past. I've been recovered for years now, but the damage is still there.
