Hello again -
sorry about that big pause there - was busy trying to turn my life around as usual.
So I'm quite impressed with myself as it's been 3 weeks since I last binged and purged. The first few days were pretty crap, but I made it. Mind you, I have to admit I am following a high fat low carb eating plan right now. That means NO RESTRICTING which is good for me, and also I don't feel the need to b/p as I am satisfied.
Have to say though, the first week was really awful as I was so tired and peed off. However the second week things really started looking up and now I'm feeling loads better, which is a plus.
I know, I know....restricting carbs is still restriction, but I don't care as long as I'm eating, getting lots of veggies and more importantly NOT THROWING UP. Also this means I'm eating a lot of foods I wouldn't normally allow myself - lots of butter, cream, cheese. My zits have strangely disappeared as well. I'm eating lots of fish and broccoli and drinking lots of water. I couldn't have believed this could be so easy.
Sorry to rant and I know this might annoy a few people.
Oh, and it works - I have not gained a single pound. In fact I have lost 3. Not that I want a huge weight loss but I will take a little if I can get it.
I once tried this before, but got it all wrong. It did put me into 'remission' from bulimia, but I was eating too much meat and not enough fat, and eating crap like sausages etc. This ended up with me feeling tired.
I know I shouldn't post this obsessing about food, but I also think it's good to have a way out of the cycle and that for the time being I have found.
I think I might be allergic to wheat because I would always get that ol' urge to binge and purge after eating bread. I had this rash round my eyes which is clearing up as well.
I hope I don't crash and burn - I will let you all know of progress.
Hugs to you all and believe it is possible to get better - I do!
