| I have been struggling with bulimia for two years now and have not been able to stop. I am 21 wks and still induce about 4 times a week, which is a HUGE accomplishment for me, but I no it's not good enough. It's been really hard on me because now that I only thow up a few times a week, I hate myself when I eat, so I just don't eat. I know I need help but I tried a therapist and it just wasn't working. ↑ |

| I had an eating disorder for YEARS and I am only 23. I have been able to stray away from it during pregnancy, but I feel myself wanting to go back after I give birth. The good feelings you get from purging are a sickness, and you should try to get as much help as possible. Because I know that its not only effecting your body, your mind is going through hell too because you know its wrong and feel guilty, but you cant help yourself. I can totally relate. But its never hopeless. Start each day new. ↑ |

| Hi, I am two months pregnant and I have been struggling with bulimia for years now. I have gone through many medical facilities and I have been hospitalized many times. I did not think anything could ever change my ways. Now that I am pregnant, I have convinced myself food is not the enemy. Food will help our babies grow into something healthy and beautiful. I dread trying on clothes now, but I know it is for the right reasons. Now is not the time to be selfish, we have a baby growing in us that needs food and nourishment! Dont worry ladies, there is hope! ↑ |

| Get help NOW. I have been bulimic for6 yrs and it is destroying everything. im not pregnant but I know you are killing your baby. Iknow the bulimia was controlling you but u are being selfish. Its lik drinking and drugging it will hurt your baby. Try smaller portions of nutrtious food and get a close friend to help you. Be strong ↑ |

| I'm 2 months pregnant and i'm having a really hard time trying to accept the fact that i have to eat to keep my baby and me alive. When i'm not eating, i'm starving, but when i want i feel like a failure and throw up. i want this baby but i'm so upset about being 5ft 7in, 18 years old and 185 pounds. I've struggled from anorexia, bulimia, cocaine abuse, and anti-depressents. I'm scared but i don't know how to stop. ↑ |

| I totally relate Sarah. I am 8 weeks pregnant and have struggled with bulimia for 15 years. I had a couple slips recently but I am determined now to eat healthy and take care of this baby growing inside me. It is really scary though, the feelings are still there and it is torture sometimes for me not to binge. I wouldn't worry about the times you made yourself sick, I would just focus on the rest of your pregancy and being healthy. ↑ |

| yes- it was so hard to stop - as i saw my everything getting bigger. Don't even think of yourself as a human being right now. You are just an incubater (sorry on spelling). Be the best home you can possibly be. I had to stop smoking and puking- I thought i was going to die. I felt like one of those huge hot air balloons. I just kept exercising like crazy. I did step aerobics in a gym until my due date. That was a sight! I couldn't even see the step at the end!! And congradulations on your pregnancy!!! You will soon see how amazing babies are - and the things you use to worry about become so insignifacant the first time they cry or get a fever or sound like they hurt. Good luck momma! ↑ |

Hi:
I am 32 and suffered from Builimia through my late teens until my mid 20s. Since then, I have been an occasional binge and purger (once a month or less) but I am STILL filled with guilt and remorse each time I do it.
I am currently 21 weeks pregnant and have purged twice during that time. I have managed to go the last 3 weeks without doing it by reminding myself how terrible I felt about myself post-vomit...I was beside myself with worry about what I had done to my unborn child. I did cognitive behavioral therapy last year, which was helpful and I am thinking that it may be time to go back.........it is very helpful if you can get it where you are.
I have been struggling with whether or not I should tell my partner about these slips. He knows my history and has been very supportive, although over the last year, I have not been telling him when I have a 'slip' up as it is hard to feel like someone is always watching you. Any thoughts/advice? Also, does anyone know of a good source of info. on the effects of purging on teh fetus? ↑ |

| This is not so much a direct reply, more of a query.... I am 30 years old and have been trying of a baby for over two years with no success. I was anorexic from 17 to 23 and although I got over that through counselling, I somehow managed to become bulimic. At my worst I was vomiting about 4-5 time a days, as well as taking laxatives. I have been a lot better since getting married four years ago, but since we have had trouble getting pregnant, I have started to lapse - i.e. inducing about 2-4 times a week. My question is this... did any of you ladies actually fall pregnant whilst actively bulimic (e.g. inducing at least once a day)? The reason I ask is because I have been torturing myself that I am not getting pregnant because of my eating disorder history and that in turn is making me feel more guilt. ↑ |

I read this was a thing people could see and tell that you have bulimia ?
The rubbing of their own teeth against their knuckles is one sign that many friends and family members can easily recognize.
why is this true, and why do bulimic do it? ↑ |

| Hey us i can relate to this, because it is so hard for someone who has had a disorder like this to quiet. Go get some help that's what i need but i'm scared to because everytime i eat i have to throw up also. i been bulimic since i was 14-15 years old because of my gymnastics coach and my demanding mother who wanted me to be perfect all the time. but got to go, but take my advice go get help from a professal. PLEASE! ↑ |

| I'm not saying i can relate, because obviously i'm a guy, but the feeling of guilt...that i'm familiar with. It's awful that i know. That food can have this detremental affect upon, and the feeling of guilt you fell is like no other. But ultimatley what you have to remeber is that it's your babies well being that comes first, this food that you may feel guilty for is not for you...it's for the baby, and their future, your eating for them, not for you. Think of them, and look after yourself, because you life and the life of your child is too precious too jepordise for Bulimia. ↑ |

| I am 18 and I am with bulimia and nobody knows it. In 2 days, I'm going to the doctor to take analysis of blood and I'm afraid of the results because I don't know if the doctor can see that I am with bulimia with this. PLEASE ANSWER ME ↑ |

| I relate! Who here hates the feeling in your throat after doinn it? Soreness! OW! Well anyway, if I was pregnant i would tottaly eat and not puke, even though i do it now. And if i couldnt help myself ide ask for help for my baby's sake. Its NOT your fault, your a wonderful mother. You just have something wrong and you do want the best for your baby. Im only 16 years old, and when i was only 14 some of my friend got pregnant. I don't know for myself what its like but I belive i know atleast a bit of what your feeling. ↑ |

| Well i was just wondering how you actually do puke..it just takes me so long to actually puke myself...and when i do finally puke myself i barly puke..i don't want to make it obvous and for people to worry about me...so any advise? ↑ |
| Name: amanda | Date: Jan 16th, 2006 7:54 PM |
(to maddie)
i suggest that you seek help instead of trying to get better at your disorder. learning how to vomit will only worsen the cycle of bulimia. bulimia sucks, hun. it will destroy you. your freinds and family need you and you need them, they SHOULD worry about you if you are doing something that WILL kill you if you continue . as soon as you start to look for help, it only gets better . maybe harder, but better. ↑ |

| if i were you i would try some smoothies or something to feel like im getting the energy that is neccesary an desirable, I do occasionally feel sick after eating but this is not something you need to do, you wont throw up unless you make yourself. trust me, eat healthy foods that will be refreashing, you wont even want to puke. ↑ |

| I don't know what I am. I think a compulsive over eater. I can only starve for so long. then I try to eat right, but i can't stop. I lost 13 pounds and now I'm eating too much again. i need to lose about 20-30 more. I finally tried to vomit, but i mostly gagged - it all just wouldn't come up which makes me feel even worse for eating too much. is it bulimia? I'm going to get on the treadmill for now. - thanks for listening! ↑ |

| For about 4 yrs now purging has been a way for me to control stress and how I feel about myself. It's something most people don't understand because they think it's disgusting. I know what I do is gross but I don't know what else to do. I need help. ↑ |
