Ok so i promised myself today i wouldnt eat much....but i ate three FULL meals!! I didnt wanna puke, cause i am trying SUPER hard to give it up. So i went to play football and ran and took the dog out and played with him....THIS SUCKS!! I really have no point, i just needed to talk about my day with someone who might understand.

I totally know what you are going through...the more you eat the more you want to purge. Just try not to...trust me it is better to not...purging just makes you gain weight. The best way to lose it is to workout and eat less. I had mia for a year and now that i have finally stopped it it is so much easier to become ana. I just want to be ana again so badly so that i can lose weight fast.

Hi homecomingqueen!!

CONGRATS ON TRYING TO STOP PURGING!!!

THAT REALLY IS SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF!!! GO YOU!!!

As for working out because you ate, that's another part of an ED. You think that you must burn off ALL the calories you eat in a day. It's part of the irrational thoughts that we have (hehe, aren't they the best?)

dying to be thin-- what does "mia" and "ana" mean? Maybe I'm just dumb....??

NEVER GIVE UP

Thanx guys for replying, just knowing someone is listening helps....and the thought that purging makes you GAIN weight makes it all that much easier!!

youneak00----ana means anorexia, and mia is for bulimia
