you are sick and need to seek help.

Maybe if you stop tormenting yourself it will help just a little,
you cant keep telling yourself that you messed up, because that would just
make the problem worse, just try to forget about it and STOP tormenting yourself
about it

please get help.

I was bulimic for 12 years. It nearly killed me. I threw up so much blood for about two years in the end, every day. One day I threw up two pints of blood. I was terrified- my throat and stomach had worn thin with the acid.

Please try to stop.

You need to actually take Control over your mind body and spirit*
You say you can stop at anytime, but it sounds like you can't*
Yes it will take 21days and then some to be able to continue on the right path of heatlhy eating without purging* , to lose weight by exercising and feeding your body the right nutrients*
If you continue down this path you're on, you can die...or cause harmful damage to your organs that can't be reversed!*
You seriously need to speak to your family doctor and get the help you need to find out WHY you feel you need to purge and that you THINK you have control and can stop anytime, but honestly you can't*

You will need to find out WHY you feel the need to do this to yourself? Dig down deep to come to terms with whatever it is, forgive yourself and move forward in life* be able to Live Life to the Fullest and in a Healthy way~* Goodluck*

You CAN get on the right Path, it will be alot of hard work, you'll need the SUPPORT* from friends and family* Goodluck*

I used to binge eat but I never purged and I can't imagine the distress you are going through. I love you very much and I can't wait for the day that you know this will never happen again. You have the power to be in a healthy relationship with food; you can do it.

I hope you will check out this Web page: http://sweetjuicyfreelee.com/2010/06/21/i-cured-my-anorexia-bulimia-through-a-lfrv-lifestyle-part-1/. I have been in outstanding health since I switched to a low-fat raw vegan diet where I basically each as much fruit as my body desires (which is a lot), while being at my ideal weight and experiencing high energy every day. Freelee, the author of the article, has used this way of eating to overcome anorexia an bulimia.

Is losing ten pounds really worth all of this? Seriously, ask yourself that question.

This is a type of mental disease, and it can't be stopped easily. There isn't a medicine, or simple way to get yourself to stop. It takes a lot of therapy and a lot of self exploration to get through this.

Remember, this isn't a habit anymore, this has turned into your life. If you want to change your life, then I would reccomend some professional help. The sooner, the better. I must admit, that your parents are being very insensitive and should be helping you, not threatening you.

I know that professional help may seem stupid, but I urge you to try it. This kind of thing is really unhealthy, and it may end up causing you to get very sick or even die.

I know that what I've just written is not what you want to hear, but it is the truth. Please take this advice seriously.

I hope you don't take offense to this, but you really should get professional help. You do have a disease, and it is unreasonable of you and your parents to think that you can just "snap out of it" if you want to badly enough. If you read your own post back to yourself, you either can't stop by yourself or don't truly want to. You need to be highly motivated to get over an addiction of any kind, even with professional help.

Part of the problem is that you are letting yourself down. You promise yourself that you won't binge or purge, then you do. As you say, you keep on focusing on the fact that you messed up and for some reason think it means that you should keep on doing it. That isn't a rational way of thinking. Seeing a counselor doesn't mean that there is something wrong with you, but it is a good way to learn how to recognize irrational thoughts and then replace them with rational ones before you wind up doing something unhealthy. For example, instead of thinking, "I already messed up, so there's no point in trying again," you should think, "I messed up before, but I'm human and I have the power to make a change." Instead of thinking, "There's no point in trying again," think, "I really want to do this for myself. I know that it is going to be a challenge, but I can't change without making an effort."

Does that make sense? Sometimes outside help can really make it easier to see flawed thinking and figure out how to stop it. While you are at it, go see your doctor to check and make sure that you aren't doing too much damage to your body. Your dentist will probably notice the throat/tooth damage, but the doctor will be able to check for nutrient deficiencies and make sure that you aren't underweight. He or she will also be able to give you some advice on whether you need to lose weight (and how). You might consider asking for a referral to a nutritionist who specializes in helping people recover from eating disorders. If the doctor gives you the a-okay, you can also start exercising on a regular basis. Eating sensibly and getting exercise will be a great way to lose any weight that you need to, and it will make you healthier and happier rather than unhealthy and miserable.

Even strong, beautiful, and motivated women sometimes need help. There is absolutely no shame in asking for it.
