how long can i go without binging and purging? why don't we all support each other?

Today was the first day i've gone in a while without b&p. So 1 day for me. it was conscious and not just happen stance. i went to purge and i decided no. granted it was b/c the food had been in my stomach for a while already :/

I am with you.... would like to have the support... it would be so good.... so yesterday... was day 1 for me....Yea.. for both of us..

Yes, I would like to get and give support. I hope everybody out there knows I care...I hope everybody has a binge/purge free day. To those who don't eat--I hope you eat today. Let's all have a good, healthy day--we can do it!

i just started a post like this in self injury, so im in

except i did it yesterday so im a day behind

so my past 2 days (including this one) have been bad, but tomorrow hopefully will be better. I have my meals planned. The unexpected that keeps coming up is pain. I always give in to temotional pain. I need a game plan.

[DePressMe]

Hi esthersvirtue...what is your game plan? having planned meals is a great idea. Maybe we could all brainstorm about how to deal with the emotional pain in a better way...

when in pain I:
call/write a friend
journal
take a hot shower
chew nicorette gum like crazy
post here on PC
When it gets real bad, I call my T or pdoc

I need a game plan. I messed up this morning, but im still going to try to not mess up tonight.

I dont have many friends, but I could write in a journal. I dont like calling my therapist. i'm not ever sure what she means by emergency; so I figure she means like.. im 2 seconds away from offing myself.. not like im in pain.
Posting makes me crazy when im in pain b/c Im waiting for someone to comfort me and i end up staying attached to the computer.

I'm thinking about finding a 5 minute meditation. Something quick easy and I can do anywhere..

I'm in. Today I haven't binged so far...I feel great today. :-)

[alyssa_angel]

i stil havnt binge purged but i came real close today, im doing well so far i hope every one else is doing well

FINALLY.. Yesterday I had another day without my ED. I am pleased. I ate semi-well. and exercised a small bit. It was a quiet day and not a stressful one. I'm hoping to replicate it today. If I go 2 in a row. well every day offers its own rewards. I'll be happy with each that I choose health in its own way.

im struggeling but getting there

Maybe I could get in on this? I would have to try for tomorrow without purging. The scale ruled my life today. So, maybe tomorrow.

Thats great Monty. Every moment we have room for change and improvment.

Go Alyssa!!!!!!!!!

[alyssa_angel]

im stilll going im not sure how long its been but yey any way

i had a disasterous few days after my therapy session
I'm going to try again though.

you can do it..... I know you can...

So... I had a really bad run of it too...

Yesterday... was day one... Yea....

[Monty_girl]

Don't get down on yourself. It's a day to day thing. I messed up this week as well. But I can say I had 3 days. Now I start again and I have one day now. But this time I'll try to make it to 4 or maybe 5 days without B&P. All we can do is keep trying.

Good Luck !

well I have gone a half a day without restricting.

Good for all of you for doing this...

Amie

am fighting my way thru day 3..... the anixety.. is horrific... and the sugar w/d difficult..

I am doing brothing... and no processed foods...

Day 4...

The lack of sugar... is causing.. an "inbalance" right now.. and I am struggling to 'just do things"... on the edge of tears most of the time..

The very hard work has now started... trying to get enough calories in me... that is so very hard... I am making myself eat every few hours.. healthy... non-processed food....

so far so good....

((((((((Freewill))))))))

keep it up

thank you so much... day5... and going strong...

((((hugs))))

I am still going strong..... it is becoming easier... the sugar is getting out of my system...

I am concentraing very hard on eating... every 3-4 hours... it would be so easy to just not eat for a few days.. but I gots to keep going..

love to all
