Okay well I have noticed/tried some medications to keep me away from the binging and purging.

Is it true that when you start eating normally... small portions, healthy food that you will still blow up? I am scared to death to stop because I am afraid I will get huge?

I was/ am bulimic. I have been for 13 years. When I was younger, 18-24, I was VERY bulimic. I binged and purged about every night. I couldn't eat something past 7:00 PM without feeling like I needed to binge. It sucked. I got married and slowed down a bit- still had boughts of it.
