Wow - that would do it for me too. I hate stress and it always send
me into food or vomiting. It is not like now I don't think hm vomit
but as you know the more days you stack away form the last one the
easier it gets to say know to the toielt and yes to just keeping
down todays food even it was a mistake.

Bulima is something I feel like it is true one never gets over since
it took so long for me to get absitent form purgining and binging
and I had all kind of treatment, therapy, books etc. But it is nice
to know it is never too late. For me I got it for the moment anyway
it can go anytime due to the baby 39 years old I started looking for
help at 16 years old. Kind of sucks to spend a life like that. I
mean it had some good learning points. Well the lil one is here.
Keep in touch.

wish I could get to the point where you are. Maybe someday. The
sad thing for me is I once was "mostly" recovered. I guess
bulimia/anorexia is something you never fully recover from. It is
always living within you. Anyway.... I am 41 years old. I suffered
as a teenager and got married, had babies, etc. I was really doing
well with very few symptoms from about 24 to 38. Then my husband
had and affair and my marriage fell apart. THAT threw me into a
major tailspin! The bulimia has been back ever since and is worse
than ever. I know I need help, but am too embarrased to admit it.
