My question is this. When I first started I literally gorged myself and threw up. Then I reached a point in my life where I dieted dieted dieted dieted and always saw (still see) myself as fat. However as time passed I went the other way where I would eat and throw up and ended up at the point I couldn't even keep down crackers or water. I went literally down to skin and bone.

My question in all seriousness is this. Which one do I have. I CAN'T diet in case I lose control again and I have gained 65 lbs over the past 6 years and I hate it!

It sounds like you're bulimic, but you might also have experienced anorexia, binge type. Lots of people with eating disorders get more then one (aren't we lucky??!) Go see a therapist for a professional diagnosis though.

If you want to lose weight, and are really overweight, get into either an in-house program or work out a deal with your therapist and nutritionist where they take over your eating for a while and it's out of your hands. That way, they control what you eat and you can't fall into bingeing again. Better to go inpatient if you have the time and money though.

Hey, I'm doing okay. My weight is on the low normal range right now, about 103, which isn't bad at all. I'm at school now, so I eat one meal a day when I have classes, which spares me having to worry about it or cook at home. So, not horrible. Thinking of getting into a group program offered through my college, but I haven't decided on that yet.

Feral,

I just read through the posts and i'm very proud of you for increasing you weight and realising that you have a problem. I have had a couple of friends with eating disorders and through them i know it isnt easy. you had the support of many people in this forum, and although i only found your post today I will keep you in my prayers that you continue to get better

I think the group program is a great idea, to get as much support as you can. God bless.

Love Kateena.

Father I just ask that You be with this child as she is struggling with an eating disorder... Lord, I know what it's like to suffer because of this ugly monster. I lift her up to you, Lord, in hopes that You will place Your healing hand upon her... Lord, having an eating disorder stinks and it's not fun to have to struggle. People don't understand what it's about and sometimes, those with an ED lose control. So Lord, I ask you to take control of her life, to help her, and to heal her. Be with her, Lord.

Amen.

I will be praying for you. If I could, I would give you a hug right now.
