Vomiting up all the contents in your stomach is not getting rid of all the calories, research shows that you can actually retain around 1,200 per binge session.

	bluestickienotes99 » shotgunxsinner7 I had a major breakdown for one day. I just went home and cried. I had to tell myself over and over that I was fine the way I was.Try to take a nap or a hot shower. Relax and just keep telling yourself that their opinions don't matter and are completely wrong. Because they are completely wrong. 58 min ago
	shotgunxsinner7 » bluestickienotes99 How did you handle it over the summer??? I cant stop thinking about it. It plays like a clip video over and over again. 1 hour ago
	Peanersss Day two, harder then day one....now i remember why i always relapse...Emotional wreck 1 hour ago
	bluestickienotes99 » shotgunxsinner7 OMG! Never go back to that doctor again! I would have walked out! That is completely uncalled for! 1 hour ago
	shotgunxsinner7 » bluestickienotes99 I told the nurse not to let me know the number. She freaking tells me. Then the doctor saw I was crying, I told him I had an eating disorder, and tells me "Well you're not that thin, so it shouldn't be a problem" and started giving me diet advice. 1 hour ago
	bluestickienotes99 » shotgunxsinner7 you should have told him to go screw himself! A doctor told me that over the summer and my mom jumped all over her! 1 hour ago

What I learned during recovery

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.
