Hey Allison,
Sorry you're struggling with the binging right now. I am not sure I have any suggestions for you right now because I have been really struggling myself. Things have been so stressful, but more about me in another e-mail.
It sounds like you and the dietitian are not really "clicking." I'm sorry you don't feel like she hears you. It is so tough and frustrating to finally speak up and then to not be heard. Is there another dietitian you could see? Maybe someone that would be more suitable for you? It sounds like on the whole (from the other e-mail you wrote) you are doing really well at the program, don't give this up just because you have a few off days! YOU CAN DO THIS! I am rooting you on and you have my phone # now so if you want/need to call please don't hesitate!
The question about regarding your body highly enough is a tricky one! I struggle with this too. But we CAN do this, I have hope for all of us, yes even myself, or at least today I do, lol.

Subject: [MyEDHelpSupport] Having a hard time with Carbs.
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?
Allison
