welcome....

yes, it is an eating disorder... and I also did this for a long period of time...

It... started to happen again today... because of stressors... and.. there was no associated binge....

And.. I do not have to force myself... I have just trained my body to do this...

I don't feel "sick" to my tummy... it isn't a reaction to a tummy upset..

You might become very dehydrated... with this type of purge... because.. you aren't taking or rather retaining the calories...so please be careful....

Might I ask... if you force.. the purge...

and... what "feeling"... do you get after the purge?

for me.. I get an imense sence of such "relief"... peace... like all of the "bad" terrible feelings... have gone with the food....

or.. do you do.. it because you wish to maintain your weight?

for me.. and I can only speak for me...when I was doing this regularly... the T... asked me to identify... what I was "getting out of it"...

For me.. it is different... than when I binge/purge... which I also do...

so... have you talked to someone about this.....
