Thread: Bulimia

Good reminder Laura and wtg!!
Clean P3 eating again today. Managed to get to club fitness and do the upper body machines, it'll be a while before I can do the leg machines for my swollen knee. Day two of TOM and in an emotional reprieve from the harsh emotions of the past two weeks. Being mindful and thankful for the calm mind and body....

Sitting here in the stink. I went to whole foods to get fish oil (lemon flavored Carlson's yum) and tried on various oil scented perfumes. P U! LOL

Hi ladies, was just under 150 this morn. Not doing the snacking I normally do. Playing words with friends on facebook instead. lol
Went out and indulged for my aunt's birthday party tonight. Will go back to P3 eating and the water weight should be off in a couple of days. In the near past, this would have sent me in a downward spiral. It's good to feel in control! Hormones are on my side this week! LOL

P.S. Had to deal with an extremely stressful situation (person) for a few hours this weekend...it was really bad... Normally I would have run to the food and drink. But I didn't. And I really wanted to drink!
So proud!

...hormones are with me...amen

Way to go, Izzy! I cheated with a glass of red wine yesterday. So wanted to drink more...was feeling lonely. But I didn't. Felt good to nip things in the bud. Down a total of 4.2 in first five days. Also changed the scale battery in the middle of that, so not sure if my old battery was making readings "off." Be well all!

I'm going to be honest here. If you have a history of an eating disorder, you need to be very cautious. I would not recommend that anyone who hasn't been in recovery from an eating disorder for at least 5 years try this diet. It is too similar to anorexia at times. I have a history of anorexia and have been in remission for 7+ years now. I feel confident that I can control this diet. If you don't feel like you can control yourself, you need to stop now.

Shalhevet, I agree. I don't know if there's an absolute number of recovery years needed (you mentioned 5), but I do believe solid recovery is necessary first. Food no longer controls a person and unhealthy addictions to trigger foods are broken (sugar, refined flour, for examples out of my life). I think it's counterproductive to do HCG before solid recovery; that's setting oneself up for likely failure and more self-flagellation because of it. As I've stated before, I have many years of recovery and I can't imagine having done HCG while still wanting to binge or purge. I've never been anorexic, but I can imagine the VLCD is much like behaviors used to starve oneself.

I'm down nearly 6 lbs in first 6 days of VLCD. Very happy with those results, as I'm close to goal weight. I know a stall is looming somewhere soon, but that's OK. Clothes are fitting nicely and I feel good. Going to walk some hills today to work on toning my backside more. But only for 1/2 hour... no massive exercise! :-)

Hi everyone, been dealing with some physical and emotional stress (as usual) I'm an apartment manager for 2 buildings. The owner fired the maintenance man (my friend who got me this job - free rent in exchange for duties) right before I had to get 3 apartments ready to rent. On one errand run to the hardware store I wrecked my car. $4100.00 damage, 1500 deductible. Can't afford this at all. I was going 10 mph toward an intersection, a truck was leaving (I thought) I looked down for a second and rammed right into his big trailer hitch. My hood was crunched, bumper damaged and some internal things. Nothing happened to his truck or him. I was exhausted going on 3 hours of sleep trying to get these apartments ready. I have knee/feet problems, live on the third floor - going up and down for 3 days straight has taken it's toll on my body. I had one day of overeating P3 food, but it could have been much worse. Finally down to 149 this morn (again after only 3 hours of sleep. lol)
