hey guys!
it's friday - that's five days without bingeing!!
I might not have gone about it in the best possible way - i've spent a week's wages on diet pills and stuff, i've taken laxatives, i've taken sleeping pills to knock me out and stop me eating! - but the point is 5 f*****g days - thats BLOOMING MARVELLOUS!

I woke up this morning and for the first time EVER I thought to myself 'it might just be possible to beat this thing somehow'.

I'm sending happy and positive vibes to you all.
((((((((((((my friends))))))))))))))) xx

Hey there, 9Volt! I’m so happy that you’re feeling so optimistic right now... that’s really what it takes to beat these disorders! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif

Congratulations on making it five days! That’s wonderful news! Or ‘marvelous’ as you call it! (Hmmm... a new favourite word! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/tongue.gif)

Just work on one problem at a time, 9Volt. You’re getting the binging sorted out, and now it’s time to start working on the other problems. In other words, no more diet pills and laxatives! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/nono.gif You can do this, 9Volt... it’s the eating disorder that’s making you believe that you can’t do without all that stuff, when in actual fact you can.

Keep it up; you’re going well now. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif Just slowly cut down on the diet pills and laxatives (which, I may remind you, have no lasting effects on your weight anyhow. So even though you THINK you need to take them, you don’t because they don’t really do a thing anyway!

Take care of yourself, and sorry I haven’t been around much lately to give any support. I apologise for that.

GO 9VOLT!! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/bouncing.gif

5 days is incredible!!!!!!! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Ashlee's right, focus on one thing at a time, first purging, then taking yourself off those pills...you don't need them, and soon you'll be off those too!! YAY YOU! I'm so glad you're optimistic, you put me in a really good mood!!!! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/dance.gif

NEVER GIVE UP
