I agree whole-heartedly, we have so much more in common than that small dimension called race and I think this forum is so wonderful. It feels good to discuss my situation and feelings open and honestly with people who can relate and/or empathize. Thanks so much for making me feel at home.

I still can't believe that bulimia does not make you lose weight. I am totally shocked. What have I been doing to myself? There's no point in doing it then. I decided that today would be the day that I quit but mid-day I got a hunger that would not stop and I binged on fruit snacks. I can't believe I did that. At least it wasn't a full fledged binge. I give myself major credit for that. I am addicted to binging and purging is just a side effect (a necessary evil). I really believed that I could stop cold turkey but now that I think about it, I can see that I'll just find some other way to get rid of the calories, like over excercising. It sucks being out of control when the solution is staring you right in the face and it's as "simple" as eating healthy.
