I don't do a regular binge as described (hundreds of dollars of food, eating at multiple restaurants in a row).

I overeat. Near daily.

So I post in the overeating/binging area.

But I thought I should say hi here too.

I am overweight. I occasionally eat enough to feel the need to puke, I can puke without fingers. I don't use laxatives or over-exercise. I have tried but am trying to keep my internal gut and intestine bacteria healthy. I am not sure I do because I do drink a lot of bouillon sometimes to go to the bathroom. But I am 51 and overweight so I think my constipation is just normal and I need to give my body help.

I have noticed some of the symptoms of Bulimia - dry skin after vomiting. Obsess about size. I tried to choose to vomit for a couple years, but made my throat bleed. I think it was my esophagus. So I stopped. Then about 7 years passed and over-eating has become really obsessively bad, so I am back to seeking unhealthy solutions for controlling my weight.

Sometimes like 2 days ago I do the eat/puke/eat/puke thing. I think I am sick today as a leftover from that. Too much spicy and overeating, then all the puking, then eating - then yesterday overeating with only 2 puking, now today my stomach is empty but feels like a knife is cutting into me. The pain and saliva made me need to puke. I actually am happy that I feel too sick to eat right now. I fear it will end.

I just wanted to share, and say hi. I know I am 'not that bad' and hope that you will still want to interact, and hopefully find something I say beneficial to you. As I am sure I will benefit from reading other peoples experiences.
