Dealing with xmas

Postby firefaerie » Mon Dec 11, 2006 4:35 pm

I'm a university student, who's just come home for xmas. The problem is, that I've had to suddenly go from being able to control exactly what I have in my cupboards, to stop bingeing... to being in a house full of food - and you know how it is at christmas... there's literally food everywhere! I've only been back 3 days, and already I'm fighting the urge to make myself sick... even though I haven't really over eaten. I don't know why i find it so hard to cope when i get home. Maybe it's the lack of control over my food. Does anyone else have the same problem? :?

for the past two years i have been anorexic and around christmas time the bulimia sets in cause of all the food. i think that you have to find out why you are doing this to ureself? why are you wanting to be so thin amoungst other things?

For me personally i was with a guy for about three years and all the time have had a problem with ed's. i have broken up with him about a month ago and havent had a problem since. he was really upsetting me and the life we were living was really bad... you have to find out the reason why you are doing this to yourself... i know that around christmas theres heaps of food and after you have been starving yourself you just wanna eat and eat and eat. you have to find out whats the healthiest option and go for it. find out what is making you unhappy.

I've not been full blown anorexic in a very long time, but I know I've been struggling with ED-NOS for about 3 years now. There are many, many stupid rules I have in my head about eating that just rules my life. How much fiber, how many calories (never more than 1100), and when and how much I can eat at each meal. I freak out each morning when I weigh, and sometimes I fast on wknds. So basically, I'm screwed up. Christmas really threw me though, I was around all that "bad" food you're describing, and I just went crazy. I usually only keep bran cereal, fruit, stuff like that at my own place, so it's really difficult to be surrounded by that kind of food. So I've started throwing up. I used to just fast for like a week after a binge, but now I'm just throwing up all the time. I hope I can stop. This is a new hell for me.
