Finally getting it

This is finally starting to feel like a disorder. It gets in my head, and I can't stop. I can physically feel this drive, to binge so I can purge. It's not even about the food anymore, it's like, I HAVE to eat today, and then I HAVE to throw it up. The more weight I lose the more driven I am to be bulimic. I'm worried my roommmates are going to notice, and ask me about it, and I'm just going to yell out "I HAVE AN EATING DISORDER, AND I CAN'T STOP IT, SO JUST ACCEPT IT." I feel like I'm high or something. It's going to start taking over again...

And yet, it's working. So why should I stop? I've seen the gross pictures, read the articles, heard about the deaths. And yet. That isn't me.

It's not you yet Astra, but you know it will be if you don't stop.

I relate to your need to eat just to throw up.

I am "there" now myself. I very much relate to your feelings on that.

But I'll caution you again that just because your health has not yet been compromised to the level you have seen portrayed on websites and informationals...doesn't mean you are not on your way to becoming that. You will become that...not maybe...you WILL...if you can't get past this choice.

sidestepping here for a quick question:
I understand how to highlight something and "quote" it. How do you get it to say "Astra said", for example, when you select text to quote?

Thanks!

When you are reading a thread, and want to quote the person, click the quote button in the top right corner of that person's post. It will bring you to the post a reply page, and it will already say (quote="Angel") *text* (/quote).

now I get it....it quotes the whole post....so then you must just take the portion of text you want from there huh??!! Whereas I had been highliting the portion of text I wanted and then click post so it wouldn't pick up any name....now I get it! Thanks Astra!

You're the moderator and you didn't know how to 'quote'!?




Hehe! Only joking with ya! *hug*


Astra, my diet has really improved lately. i accept that I can have a binge at night anymore and it's actually getting less stressful thinking like that.

You have to try really hard to get over bulimia. If you don't give up the fighting of it then it will become easier. Results won't be instant though. I would strongly suggest doing things differently in your life.

hey now!....I could quote....I just couldn't quote w/ the names!! I was half way there...that must count for something!!!
