20 years Bulimic. This therapist has done a better job than the others. I no longer binge I will just purge any meal that causes me to feel "full". If I am careful and eat small meals where I am satisfied and not full it will not trigger me to purge.

Ok well that is not totally true. Sometimes I will purge because I hate myself and think if I am skinner I will be loved.

Ok well that is also not all the facts. Sometimes when triggered and in an emotional flashback I will emotionally eat and then purge it.

I still purge once a week. We have worked on not feeling shame when it happens or beating myself up over it.

Hate hate hate

B/p is better than just binging, but i hate it anyways. I used to be anorexic too and if i could choose i'd definitely go back to ana, as awful as it sounds.

I do not care anymore and I am done fighting it. I am 53 and 7 years of therapy. The longest I have ever gone without purging is 3 weeks. When I go to therapy twice a week and stay in contact with the therapist, between sessions, then I am able to last a lot longer but therapist kick you out the door. So down to once a week and no contact between session and I am purging more frequently. I try to make a promise to God I wont do it but it overcomes me so hard and I can not always control it.
