I used to start a binge then be like fuck it, im already ahead of myself so I may as well just go off the deep end with it and purge, but recently my binges have been smaller, like 2000 cals total on a bad day, and I've been working on simply sitting with it and getting through the uncomfortable feelings like I did back when I was refeeding in treatment. It's not the end of the world and is wayy better than purging. Sometimes I'll take laxatives (do not recommend) but just going to sleep since they happen at night for me just lets me get over it, feel full the next morning, and use that full feeling to restrict again. Besides that I find organizing and cleaning really calming

 

Honestly? The only thing that helps me feel better is to purge after. Doesn't help much, but enough that I allow myself to do it against my better judgement.

That's such a temporary fix, the shame and the need to b/p again will come soon. Definitely not recommended.

...

Forgive yourself, keep it down, and move on. I'm not saying it's easy but not only did that help me actually feel better after a binge (vs a temporary unhealthy "feeling better") it also lead to less bingeing.

 

Press a hot water bottle to my stomach and sleep

I also purged daily till a few days ago . Of course i someday realized that it doesn't help me at all other than feeling emptier and because of that better. But i am so so scared of getting any organ damage so i stopped...or at least am trying to stop.

Yeah, it's so damaging it's scary. I'm glad you're trying to stop. You can do it! <3

It sounds like a really good advice ...even tho it is really hard to forgive yourself in such an situation . I always think about how i will loose weight faster if i am not depressed (i don't know if this is true). But i always fear that if i forgive myself i will eat more ,thinking: " oh, it's okay. I forgive myself.

Same goes to you. I hope you will get away from it. Good luck, i believe in you and also thank you.~♡

If you're restricting your intake then yes, forgiving yourself for "overeating" might lead to eating more. Learning forgiveness and self-love was (and still is, and will probably always be) part of my recovery process... it's more about being healthy physically and emotionally than losing weight.

Also not being depressed might not lead to quicker weight loss but it's more likely to lead to sustainable weight loss... weight lost quickly comes back quickly too. How many people (including on here) turn to unhealthy habits to lose weight, and then gain it all back and more? Even for those anorexics who lose a lot over the course of a few months or even years, how many gain the weight back when they recover? And how many become binge eaters instead and go from underweight to obese?

Sorry for the rant, I'm not trying to preach but to share what works for me. Good luck op <3

Your words inspired me...
I am actually trying to become healthier , eating more so i can exercise more and feel better so i get less depressed and have fun . But the more i eat the sadder i get. Also self-love is soooo difficult for me i try to love myself , thinking "You are strong you can get to your goal" but instead i think: "Get up your fucking lazy ass and do some workout , cow"

 

I almost always purge or take lax if I don't have the energy to purge. Right now I'm trying to avoid both even though I binged yesterday and have a 8.5 lbs of hospital weight to get rid of. The guilt is killing me and the scales isn't making it any better.

I'm really glad to hear you're fighting for your health, even if it's hard <3 Haha and yeah, that inner voice can be so incredibly mean! Therapy helped me with that (and still does, I started up again recently to fight off an oncoming relapse). Good luck with everything!!

 

I usually work out a few hours after I’ve binged and try to restrict harder the next day.

 

only a long long sleep

 

purge during shower
Then smoke till feel dizzy af
And tell myself I will restrict again tomorrow
And sleep

 

Nothing helps, honestly. Its just part of it, hey?

I mean yeah, distracting yourself, sleeping etc all good, but it just sucks. Writing about it in a journal 'helps' me, I guess, but then I love my journal.

 

I would just cry myself to sleep, lol.

Good luck to you too! ~♡

 

Smoke weed, go swimming, run until my legs give out.

 

Go for a short walk. Even just 10-15 minutes can help aid in digestion. It always helps me if I'm feeling overly full.

 

I double my cardio to make up for the extra calories, guilt will only bring u down and purging hurts my throat and stomach, so allow the binge and hit the gym! Lol

 

Situps....many many Sit ups. But honestly I'm still upset over binges I had years ago so do I ever really feel better? No, no I dont

Hope the laxatives I took,. works since it makes me feel better, and then get a lot of walking done, and then try again the next day.
