It has been 6 days since I B/P. I will be drinking homemade Mojitos later. Bulimia and alcohol do not mix but cold minty Mojitos in the hot sun are so good

I give up. One of these days I will make it to 7 days. I suppose once a week is better than everyday.

Today is not going to be a good day. I can feel it. I am down on myself...how I look, my weight, my lack of confidence and faith. It is the same F'n story over and over. I just can not break the chains that bind me. I am back to wishing I die in my sleep.

I can see myself in your words... I will tell you just what I should tell myself but never do:

Please, don't give up.
I know it sucks, I know your life's hell, I know you feel trapped and frustrated, but there IS life beyond this.
You are not a different person when you put on a kilo or 5. Your beauty, inner and outer, is still there. And it still shines, despite all the tortures you put yourself into. You're still the same woman, you still carry all your good qualities with you, even on the days you spend binging and purging and feel like a complete loser.
Well, the thing is that: You are NOT a loser. You are a strong person dealing with extremely tough emotions most people would have never managed to cope with sanely. B/p cycles are your way out. A root of escape...
You can find another root! Your body already found one. It's your brain's turn now. You can do it.
Just...please, please don't give up...

But don't sell yourself short, you are trying. Yeah, ok sometimes you fail and you find you need a release but give yourself some credit for what you have achieved.

Same cycle. Made it 6 days. Just lost my cookies....literally. I suppose the 3 Mojitos prior with 2 shots of rum each had something to do with it. Plus I ave not Ben feeling well emotionally and did not go to a cook out I was invited to.

Oh Dear I just desperate dialed T#1 after I purged because I am feeling horrible about myself. Thank goodness he did not answer. I can't over step my boundaries with T#2 so I knew I could not call him.

Thanks for asking. I am slightly hungover(I did take an ambien last night so I could sleep) feeling fat, ugly, worthless. You know...the usual suspects. Now I am restricting and I exercised for an hour. I am trying to get the committee in my head to shut up so perhaps I can have a peaceful day.

This is the worst 3 days ever. My husband went away for a few days. My therapist invited attachment and then slammed the door in my face( I think he realized he went over board with being to involved in my care). So now every feeling of being abandoned, intrinsically broken, wanting to not be human, has flooded me. I have had 4 episodes of binging/purging. It helps for a few hours and then I feel worse about myself. I am already preparing for the next episode. I even bought food that will keep things in control and simple. If only T would just send a message asking how I am doing like he use to.

I failed him some how and he put me on the back burner. He had high hopes and I did not. He overwhelmed me with his hopes for me and it made me feel worse about myself.

Saw my T today, my husband is home and I do not feel so alone. It was disturbing when my T, after 5 months, could not remember if I purge. He just thought I was a binge eater. That disturbed me.

It has been 3 days!

It might not seem like a big deal, but for me it's HUGE, given that lately I have been binging and purging multiple times a day.

Congrats!! Now try and see how long you can make it. I remember when I finally made it to 6days. Still trying to make it to 7days.

Thank you, but... I messed up today. Zero days... I'm dealing with a lot of **** right now.
I'm starting over...

Wow, 6 days! You're doing good. Good luck with your efforts.

It's been about 140 days since I've purged. Feels much longer than that, and at the same time I am so grateful. Just keep going, everyone. Just keep going.
