I am new to this and would appreciate any input. I have been bulimic for over a year now. I take a multivitamin everyday, eat fruits and vegetables, yogurt, drink lots of fluids (including Propel which contains electrolytes) but tend to purge after dinner. I keep everything else down during the day. I exercise for 1 1/2 - 2 hrs. a day. Half cardio and half weight training. I have been progressively getting worse with counting calories (not just fat intake). I am obsessed with my food intake and check menus online before I go out to eat to see what is the lowest calorie/fat meal as well as calorie counting during the day (with fruits and veggies). I noticed my face is swollen (maybe due to all of the water I drink?) and I also have swollen glands under my chin. I had an okay day today - eating fruits & veggies but also eating some jellybeans (full of sugar but no fat) and eating too much for dinner (chinese - broccoli, a bit of chicken and white rice - to the point where I felt too full - but did not vomit). I am trying to work through this on my own. I had met with a psychotherapist for this and another issue (my divorce & my father passing) but he did not help. He did not really address this issue other than to tell me I should eat more during the day. Every session was the same as the last. I don't feel he took me very seriously. He told me I didn't look as bad as he thought I would because I had muscle tone. I am 5'4 and weigh anywhere between 103 and 105. Do I really have a problem?
