there is hope

self help books rele help, i had gettin better bit(E) by bit(E) and a self help guide to bulimia and binge eating disorders...i take that 1 everywhere and refer 2it whenever i feel fat or guilty.... it is like my bible.. i would recommend them to anyone...

take care all xxx

aw thanx 4 ur post. its rele inspiring. do u mind me asking.. and i no its different 4 every1, but how long after u started to turn things around did it take till u got to where u are now?

ive been in the cycle of ed's for bout 4 1/2 years now. atm i probably hav ednos, or mayb binge eating disorder. the last half year has been one of my worst times, but in the last month i feel as tho things r beginning to get there. altho its very up and down. but i just wondered how long it took u?

i have the getin better bit by bite book, tho i havnt used it much, but maybe i will, its really encouraging to hear that it helped u! i have a workbook from my therapist, wich is based on sum of their ideas, but only just started this. but hopefully thats the start of sumthin new and better.

thankx again

:-)

good luck!

erm well, the first time i admitted i hada problem was 2my boyfrend n i promised him id get betta so i thought i was but my heart wasnt in it n it got worse n worse... but the day i kinda just clicked n knew i had ppl who cared about me n a life 2get on with n i jus tried really hard 2ignore the voices, its only been about a month n a half since i clicked but i havent looked back, i do look in the mirror n dislike wot i see n feel guilty wen i eat but then i just live for the times when ppl i care about say "we can c ur personality again" and "you look so much betta now" ive realised it is the ppl around u that make alot of difference and tbh i pushed all my frenz away n da nly ppl who rele stick by u r family n i was lucky 2ava gud boyfrend whos stuck by me 2..

work thru the books, its certain lines that stick in ur head, i highlighted them, and if i feel rubbish n fat i read them n just keep finkin, lifes 2short... i know i aint fully recovered because i still have 2battle the voices alot but i kno im stronger than it and so r u...u will get there,we all will...

i ope i elped a lil bit thats y i joined this site... im ere 2 talk :)

hey

how are you doing?hope you are getting on ok

im not doing too well. its still so up and down, i cant really tell if the up times are gettin more or not. im supposed to be keeping an eating diary, but im really struggling with it. im not even sure its quite hard to be precise or write it all down. and im not sure i can face up to it really.

have you had to do food diaries? do you have any advice?

hope your ok, let me know how ur doin

heya chick...

im doin pretty gud fanx..avin a few down days but stil troopin along with da eatin even if i do feel lik a chubba :( lol

im sorry to hear your not doing well, im sure the uptimes r more than the down, the down ones just stick with u i gess..

yer i kept a fwd diary, was bit difficult at first u jus gta be completly honest with it, even if ur brain wont let u... wot i did was write down wat i ate...how i felt about wat i ate and then wetha i purged or not.... that elped 2realise wot type of food triggered my binges and stuff. it is difficult but as i wrote the truth more n more as i looked back i noticed that i purged and binged less, even if it wasnt that noticeable to me, a little difference made me think alot more positively...

give it a go...u can talk 2me weneva it gets hard :D

hows evryfing else...life....like non ED wise?

chin up suga..

lemme knw how ur doin
