Hi Alexandra,
You're in good company. I hate myself for bingeing. I hate myself for purging.
Is there anything that really makes you start to binge? Something that triggers it more often?

hey
> Is there anything that really makes you start to binge? Something that triggers it more often?
i don't think so... but then i'm not that good at finding patterns like that.
i guess i need opportunity...
but thats not to hard to get.
and sometimes i think about it a lot
and isolate myself to do that.i dunno.
i've never talked about it before...but i feel really awful about it
lack of self control :-(
and i really am not happy with my body
and my weight in particular
but...
it continues...

I'm right there with you girlfriend. I sometimes wish I could 'purge', but I just can't seem to do it. One thing I know that would help me is to get a life outside my apartment and work. I binge out of boredom and self pity that I'm so alone. But how do you stop being alone?
I know its not logical, but I feel like life would be so much easier if I was skinny.

yeah.

yeah. when i'm at work i manage to go quite a while without even thinking about food. i know this is supposed to be bad for you but... breakfast is simply too early. it unsettles my stomach. i'm usually too busy to even think about lunch. and so i get home and i feel like i'm absolutely starving... sometimes. othertimes i can go a whole day with loads of coffee and energy drinks and cigarettes and i pretty much forget to eat.
if i eat breakfast then i feel starving round lunch time...
if i eat lunch then i'm starving round tea time...the less i eat the less i seem to want to eat (which i'm pretty much fine with)
but the trouble is the binging...
have tried the eating fruit thing...
take fruit with me to eat before i feel starving...
but even that doesn't seem to help much.> I know its not logical, but I feel like life would be so much easier if I was skinny.
yeah. or at least... i think i'd detest myself a bit less.
