Pretty hard to be a straight restrictive anorexic because sooner or later your body will force you to binge.

 

Hey love. I am. Hope you're okay, we can talk if you want too xox

 

I was a purely restrictive anorexic as a teenager, as I got older and had children, I found that it got harder and harder. I binge about once a month at this point, and by binge, I mean have 1000-1200 calories (I understand thats not really a binge, but it is to me). On any other day, I am under 500 calories.

 

I'm a restricter with binge tendencies. I don't go on a full out binge but it feels like one when really it was the amount I'm allowed to have. I tried to purge a couple times through out the years but can't get a grasp on it plus I didn't like the feeling of throwing up when it happens on it's own--alcohol, flu--with that said. I'm a restricted anorexic, but all anorexics once in a while will have a good size meal. Whether you keep it or get rid of it.

 

I would say I am. I don't really do much else.

 

Im a restrictive anorexic. I sometimes say that i binged, but by that i mean that i ate more calories than i should and not that i actually ate a lot. I should probably stop saying it, lol.

But yeah, I dont purge unless i was forced to eat, i prefer to just not eat in the first place!

 

I'm restrictive.
I don't remember the last time I binged.
I know what you mean - it feels like this page has become a binge or b/p page the last few weeks :-/

 

That was my original diagnosis. After many years of restricting only, for a while, I started purging after eating small to normal amounts of food. I have never "binged" in the sense of eating an objectively large amount of food at a time. I don't really count things like sub-200-calorie unplanned eating occasions as "binges." I haven't purged for several years now. It made me feel awful (physically and mentally).

 

I'm restrictive. I'm too self conscious to even buy "binge" foods. For some reason I manage okay, I rarely ever purge anything.

Can't explain it.

 

Restrictive with binge tendencies as well. You can't expect to restrict <300 calories a day without Binging.

 

I don't binge and purge. I only restrict, fast, eat normally then repeat.

 

But I do take laxatives once in a blue moon. So I guess that counts as purging.

 

I'm also pretty much just restrictive. There are times when I do have "binges" which just means I've eaten about 1700-1800 cals that day. I've had urges to purge, but luckily I've never acted on them much.

Completely relate to this.

 

Me. I only restrict to under 900 a day and exercise like mad...

 

I'm just restrictive. I've never binged, nor purged (though I tried when i was younger). Always here to talk if you need someone. <3

 

I am relieved to have all your responses. Thank you.

 

I fall into that category. I've never once binged and so obviously I don't purge either. I'm too afraid of food to binge. Plus I just don't like eating.

 

yes

 

If I am not going to eat it, I won't touch it. Especially, if it is in my power.
lol. Power, what a joke

 

I fall under this. Binges for me are eating over what i allow myself. I feel like you should make this a poll!

I don't know how to do that.

How are you? You have been quiet.

Ok ill do it :3

Im..... Okay.

 

I cannot binge/purge. I simply cannot. I'm afraid of the higher numbers in calories and the higher numbers on the scale. I would rather either fast or stick to my 150-200 calorie daily intake. But that's just me.

Im..... Okay.

Thanks girl! Keep strong and smile today, genuinely.
