I want to recover from bulimia but I need to lose weight.....?

Question

I am bulimic and binge nearly every day. I know I am not overweight but I feel so fat. 122 lb at 5'5 is huge......... I guess I'm just looking for some words of encouragement

Answer 1

YOU ARE NOT OVERWIGHT!

122 lbs at 5'5 is NOTHING!

Feel great about yourself, because I bet you are.

Good luck, Hun. And get the hlp you need. Bulimia is a very bad thing! And you don't even need to lose an inch!

Answer 2

I have an ED as well, and although I'm not in recovery yet, I can offer some words of advice.

Katherine McPhee from American Idol was bulimic and she's now thinner than she was when she was bulimic due to her getting what's necessary for her body.  

Get on a specific diet plan and remember -- eat to live, don't live to eat. It's so much easier for me to dole out advice but not follow my own.

E! just showed a show and featured Katherine on there for her bulimia.

Good luck with everything, stay strong.

Answer 4

I know how you feel. You need to stop weighing yourself so much, and start eating like a normal human. Meaning, eat regular meals, and don't make food into a big deal. If you eat a muffin, or pizza, or whatever, it's ok. Just don't lose control- don't binge, don't puke, just eat it and move on with your day. If you don't make it a big deal, then it's not a big deal. And so long as you exercise you will maintain, or lose, weight if you want to. You can do it, just takes time and determination.

Answer 5

Why don't you remind yourself that throwing up eats away at your teeth and you will lose them.

Answer 10

Answer 11

you are fine at that weight but if you still feel like you need to lose weight, dont look at what you eat as food, look at it as nutrition...

you have to set your mind in a way of eating healthy all the time not as a diet.

Answer 12

Workout and eat sensibly tapering the carbs as the day goes by. No shortcuts to success.

It's up to you. Choose healthy living or regurgitate your life away.

You need to gain weight if anything.
