I am in a program. I am in recovery from exercise bulimia. My
symptoms look like this: Binge eating, exercise and self starvation.
If I never binge eat, I don't purge. So I got on an OA regimen that
was working for me. It was low carb, only getting carbs from starchy
vegetables and fruits.

On a vacation I went of my program, it was just easier. Then when I
returned, I integrated two starches into my daily eating plan. Over a
period of 5 days I went from just being bugged to binging on oatmeal
and bananas. I had five bananas last night. Thank god there was no
peanut butter in the house. I don't know if I can stay in the
program if I don't cooperate with dietician and eat carbs. I really
don't like eating what I call 'troublesome' fooods. I also feel like
this dietician doesn't "Hear" me when I explain this to her. She just
looks at me like an insect and then does just what she wants. I'm
really torn up about this.

Will I ever be strong enough, regard my body highly enough to eat a
balanced diet and not go overboard?
