I know you all love stories that inspire and Amanda's story does just that. Amanda's bulimia began when she was just 12 years old and she suffered for over 10 years and now I am pleased to say she is fully recovered.
Amanda used a combination of therapy and structured eating for her bulimia recovery. In this audio she shares some great tips and advice with us, such as
• How to deal with relapses.
• How to deal with bloating.
• How to love yourself.
Her story is definitely worth listening to, she is an amazing inspiration for us and more proof that recovery is possible. She is also a member of bulimiahelp.org and you can view her profile here.
Download the audio and listen to the full story of how Amanda made a full recovery from bulimia.
P.S. Its a bit long so I decided it divide it into two parts. I'll post the second part shortly. Also if you like what you hear please leave a comment below.
A particularly low weight serves to maintain eating disorders. A preoccupation with food, depression and a physiological pressure to eat is related to low weight.

PLAN, PLAN, PLAN IN ADVANCE. Plan what you are going to eat during your day. What are you going to do if you are in a situation that triggers b/p. Thinking all the time about recovery is part of the eating disorder. I need to focus on the real life instead. Don’t trust yourself. If I know I always binge during an X situation (like being alone at home around 5pm), I need to go out at that time or find another activity. I am not strong enough to just be at home by myself and act normally. If I eat those cookies because I am feeling lonely they won’t make my friends appear. Trust yourself, and your body. Tell yourself you are able to do it. Tell yourself that you are not going to gain one pound because you ate a piece of cheesecake. God is an important part of my recovery If I eat tons of food, all the time, I will gain weight. I can’t have cheesecake and hamburger and fries everyday, in every meal, but I can have them once in a while. I purge not only because of my emotions, but it is an easy way to control my weight. I love food.
