Came home from therapy session, made dinner, threw it up. The end.

#1 A lapse does not equal relapse
#2 The path to recovery is filled with these ups and downs. Keep your eyes on recover and it wont matter if the course is a bit bumpy Congrats on success to date. I remember not too long ago you couldn't make a week w/o bingeing and purging. |

Had the worst episode last night and T caused it. I even went to the store and bought the food. I can not even believe what I ate. Spent 20 minutes purging. I think I strained something in my chest.
I think instead of fighting this disorder I am going to just schedule a time to binge/purge like every 9 days or so. Fighting it and feeling shame when I can not control it just makes things worse. Most people make a spa day or a me day to ease stress. I am going to make a binge and purge day to releive stress.

That might not be a bad idea if it gives you more control long term.. Slow improvement is better than going backwards

. Hi MoxieDoxie. I wouldn't normally agree with what you have said, and yes I honestly DO UNDERSTAND what it's like to have severe eating disorders (have them now still), but it may be that you're not quite ready to be fully recovered. Maybe what's termed by the so called "professionals" as recovery is just not the way for us, your own design of recovery, if it still within the safe scale, is the better way. My binges are becoming less and less and therefore the purging is less and less, if this is the only way to do it then so be it. I know many people who I consider "normal", don't have any eating issues, who do not have regular meals, some very spasmodic, but that's right for them. Anything that reduces the damage of purging on the body is worth considering. Do let us know how you get on. Xxxx

Did it again last night. It is starting to escalate. Of course I have that ED voice that goes with it. Looking in the mirror constantly, telling myself I am a hyporcrite, I am not a role models, I have to restrict.
I do not consider my eating disorder severe. That is reserved for those that do it several times a day.
