Look, I'm not proud to say that in front of everybody, but its true. I felt sooo in controll and sooo happy when I would. At first like you I said, once a day no more...haha yeah right. It doesn't work that way. It turned into every meal,..then even wanting to after I had something to drink! As you can see it is just a mind controll thing, thinking your helping yourself,...my throat started to hurt constantly, I broke little eye vessels all around my eyes (try explaining that to people) and after a while I just got sick and tired of sneaking around and doing this. Whith ALL of that throwing up, guess how much I lost??....Nothing. I don't know if you know this,..but bulimcs are generally over weight, for real! It does not make you skinny. I know it feels like an immediate fix, but its not. I know things feel hopeless and you HAVE to loose the weight now because you hate looking at your body, but this will not fix it. After a while yourbody knows what you are going to do and it holds on to the fats and calories...it just doesn't work trust me. I'm not trying to lecture you at all,..just giving you my personal history of what it did to me. The only thing I can suggest is to eat lots of veggies and fruit, lots of water to flush out fat...I promise it will work. I cut out dairy and refined flour etc. and I've already lost about 10 pounds so I know from experiece that this works...I still have my problems and insecurities,....but at least I know I'm on the right track and finally I am actually DOING something to loose the weight,..not running around in the dangerous web of bulimia. Please give this some serious thought,...all my love
