I have had zero desire to purge or to binge in 5 days. Why did it all of a sudden disapear? I ate until I was full last night including cake batter ice cream and I did not feel any need to purge. I mean just last week I would have been running to the bathroom.

Yeah I know "Congradulations!" and "Good for you!" but seriously. What happened? So confused

Well..............since the eating disorder chat last night I really feel worse because the truth is if you really want to get rid of the ED then you should just stop. It all comes down to my chose to do it or not to do it. So I feel even more like a loser because it comes down to willpower that I just do not have. The truth is I am disgusting and gross. If I make it through today then it will be day 2 that I did not partake in my negative coping behavior.

I missed that chat last night. I don't know what to say except that you are not alone. It is so hard & is so much more than willpower alone. There are so many negative emotions/feelings/learnt behaviours going on at the time we B/P. Congratulate yourself for being at day 2 without "partaking in your negative coping behaviour" - that's a real achievement. I wish I could make it through 2 days. I know the negative feelings and it is so hard to get out of that thought process - you are not those things - you are doing great. Keep strong. All best wishes.
