Eight days. Eight is my record since my bulimia resurfaced in March. Hoping to make it at least 10.

I'm up to 10 days with no bingeing and/or purging. A new record since March. I have the urge to do it, yet I really don't want to go through it. I am struggling with the thoughts : If I don't do it, will I regret missing my opportunity? (Silly, I know because if it comes down to it I can do it any day) but I make rules up like I can't do it within 5 days of having previously done it. And some days I think about in the future, like will I want to do it then? If I do then I have to do it by this day so I have the X number of days in between. If I don't do it, then if I feel I need it in the meantime before the specified day, what will I do?

I don't know if any of that made sense to anyone, but that is what I'm struggling most with right now.

Fear of absorbing calories and taking in more than I would have in a given day than if I just ate my meals is one thing that helps.

I also really despise all the cleaning that I need to do before and after a binge/purge episode. I have OCD so sticking my head in the toilet- that toilet Better be super clean, before and after.

And I hate that I have spent thousands and thousands of dollars over the years on food that is essentially just flushed down the toilet.

And I hate the lying -even if it is not blatant , there is dishonesty that runs through so much eating disordered behavior, especially since I live with my mom right now. She would not be able to handle t if she knew I was back into bulimia.

And let's not forget that swollen glands in the face and throat are never a pleasure.

If I thought more I could come up with oodles more reasons I'm sure.
Thanks for asking. It helps to remind myself. I appreciate it very much.
