Does anyone else here freak out if someone eats your food? I just flipped out on my boyfriend b/c he ate my food. (He totally deserved it though, he knows how I am with food). Is this weird, or do any of yall do it?
What our members say...
"Thanks for everything you are doing. I really appreciate the help you provide and without it I wouldn't be able to continue."
Rose, Scotland"I could never fathom the fact that 1 in 7 college-aged females were bulimic, yet I'd never met anyone who talked about their experience and the internet had an array of depersonalised information. Nothing useful. Nothing that made you feel you weren't alone or that there was hope. Finding the forum and advice at BulimiaHelp.org was the first time I could connect with other people who were experiencing life just as I was. I logged on everyday and started to learn about the illness, but most importantly to learn that there was hope. I can credit a lot of my improvements to the community and information at this site."
Krystyn, Melbourne"I am truly happy to have found this site & to find so much useful information and support."
Isabel Pasadena, CA"I found it at a very difficult time in my life and it was the light at the end of a very dark tunnel. I wish it had existed years ago and I really credit it with turning my relapse into recovery"
Meryl Wellington, NZ"With the help of BulimiaHelp.org I feel 100% comfortable about accepting the fact that I have a disorder. Everything is confidential and what makes it better is you can relate to others going through the same problem. THANK YOU BULIMIAHELP.ORG FOR HELPING ME GET BACKON THE RIGHT TRACK TO A HEALTHY LIFE!"
Amanda San Diego, United States"I'd like to thank the BulimiaHelp website for everything it has done for me. Bulimia is truly a devastating sickness, but it has so little support. This website has really helped me understand that I'm not alone with my illness and that it IS possible to become healthy again. Thank you so much!"

At X-mas time my sister drank my chocolate soymilk and I screamed at her about it. I apologized but she still has barely talked to me since then. It makes me sad to think how selfish ED makes me :(....
I obsess over what other people eat to. A few days ago i snapped at my mom when she didn't finish her sandwhich. we were out to eat lunch. I told her she HAD to finish eating it because she was restricting herself. But the stupid thing--she was not restricting, she just was not hungry!.... ahh i frustrate myself sometimes!
This happened to me today!
I ordered chinese food from across the street to binge on and my mom asked me how long ago I ordered it. She asked me if I would be able to eat it WITHOUT binging and purging and I cried and begged her NOT to throw out my food or take it away and I told her I don't know but I'm going to try not to binge purge on it.
The second episode was when my moms friend came over here and started eating my potato chips and I pulled my mom into the room and yelled at my mom for letting her friend eat my chips! I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO mad I was cursing!
So don't feel bad hunnie bunches =]..You're not alone.
It sucks though =[.
Stay strong! Love lovesssss xoxoxox
i used to get sooo mad!!! damn! i dont know if its because i dont like my brother in law or because of bulimia but everytime i found out he ate my food id go crazy!! now days i try to let it go, i also found out no one in the house likes fish so i buy fish, they dont like high fiber cereal so i get that too lol i buy healthy snacks they dont like :D
so dont worry just let it go, its better than bingeing dont u think?
take care

taking away an addicts' drugs, hehe. Same kind of concept eh? But... it doesn't justify our actions though. Yes we struggle, but that doesn't mean that others should pussyfoot around us because of it. It may sound harsh, but once I got my head around that I had a big change in attitude and heart and began to really take an honest approach to my recovery. You'll learn to respect yourself much more and become a stronger person as a result :)
The biggest thing, is to remember to disassociate yourself with the behavior and to not beat yourself up for getting angry with people. When you step out of the E.D. and think about it objectively, you probably see is as acting ridiculous right? That whole thing that happens right there and then, is the REAL you! You know that deep down, you're a better person than how you just treated someone in regards to taking your food. Recovery is all about recognizing and working out those kinks.
Yes, yesterday my bf just joked about stealing my plate of food I had just made, we were in a totally foolish mood so if I was normal it would have been ok, and it was only a joke, but I got really annoyed, and more inside, then I let show.. My god food makes us go nuts!
