I'm sorry Shani you're struggling so much. I know when I was purging regularly that just before and during my period it was very hard for me to purge. That's the only time and of course with bloating and water weight gain I felt like a whale for at least a week out of the month. It was miserable but I also finally realized it was hard to purge because my body desperately needed the food I put in it and was holding onto it.

Perhaps your body needs a desperate break from the cycles and especially purging, too. My only suggestion would be to try to concentrate on the types of food choices you're making; healthier versus high carb/sugar/fattening foods and that might help to start alleviate some of the feelings you have. Eating more raw fruits and vegetables also help curb cravings thus curbing binging. Eating a few ounces of fruits/veggies every couple of hours really helps curb cravings, keeps your metabolism going and fills you up without making you feel like a leaded balloon.

I wish I could be there to hold your hand ~ keep writing/venting as that's better for you than holding it in, too. Maybe somewhere along the line you can figure out what's causing you so much anxiety and stress.

You are not worthless nor are you a gluttonous pig!

hugs sweetie,
Deb
