BULIMIA-How do you stop?!


Question:

BULIMIA-How do you stop?

For maybe over a month now, I think I may have been suffering from bulimia. During almost every meal, I lose control of myself and tend to overeat. A lot. Then I go to the bathroom and throw maybe 3/4 of it up. I've been doing a lot of research lately and I've seen that bulimia can be very fatal and can ruin your body. I really want to stop and I've been trying hard to, but for some reason I cannot seem to stop. A problem I have, though, is that I am currently in a foreign country and will not go home until the 12th of August. Is there any way I can help myself stop so I won't keep this up until I can go home and get help?


Answers:

Look at a full portion of what you think you should eat. Eat only that amount, and do it slowly. Don't eat fast, or you'll end up eating more. It's kind of like the big straws at many fast food places. They get you a big straw, so you'll drink faster and order more. Eat slow, and see how you feel. See how fast you feel full. You should be eating several small meals a day as opposed to just 1 or 2 big ones. Not over-eating will help you not-puke. Eat slow, hang out with whoever you can, so they can be around you. If you have someone you can be completely honest around, use that person to gage how you're doing. Don't purposely throw up. Stomach acids can also ruin your teeth. And make yourself a promise as well. Before heading back, if you talk to your family, make sure you tell them about this. This will help them understand the level you're at, and it will become more likely that you get the help you need. Finally.. promise yourself that you're going to get the help you need. People die from this. Young teenage girls develop habits like this, they never tell anyone, and then they destroy their bodies. Just like the matrix, without the body, the mind cannot survive. Take care of yourself!!!!!!!!!
