AM I BULIMIC??
I do print modeling part time and I needed to update my heashots. I needed to get 10 lbs off I was exercising and eating clean. But the weight was not coming off fast enough so I started purging. The weight finally started coming off. Then I did my photos , I was goign to stop after that but enjoyed being able to eat whatever and still lose. SO I have not been working out anymore or eating clean. I was purging about 5 times a day then stopped for a month, now I do it about 2 times a week. Whenever I feel I am getting heavy. This has been going on for about 3 mths. Is this a phase? or is something wrong? I went to a counselor and she freaked me out because she told me not to think of bad foods and or good foods, and as someone who has been going to personal trainers and nutritionist' all my life, I know that to be untrue. There is a good way to eat and a bad way. I do not believe crap food should be consumed on a daily basis, even in moderation. Maybe once a week , but no more. So I keep telling myself I am goign to start eating right again and hitting the gym, I am losing my muscle tone. SHoudl I be concerned? Any advice?

Well you seem pretty conscious of what you are doing and I'm sure you know the dangers of this risky path you're heading down. Listen to your gut. You KNOW what your doing is un healthy for you. You KNOW your body is hurting every time you purge. Is it possible to get and maintain the body you want by clean eating and exercise? Absolutely. It is by far the best way to keep your body healthy and happy. You know this! Good news is you're catching this before it gets out of hand. Stop now. Start fresh. Be kind to your body. It's yours for life!
My advice is this like 4 years ago here my quick story growing up I was always a bigger kid then around 6th grade I matured and got taller and obviously a lot thinner but I was always a little self conscious about my weight and my sophmore year of highschool the 4 years ago I started purging only when I ate unhealthy kinda like you right now only when I felt true guilt then I tore my ankle during a basketball game and I got really scared Id gain so I started puking more and more and started having goals and then I go from 200 pounds to 140 in about a 3 month span and like now im back to 190 but I still puke 6 times a week and like dont let it get worse then it is now Im a guy haha and Im and if you told me Id get hooked on bulimia 4 years ago id be like wtf are you talking about it seriously can take over if you let it I dont know if you nessacarly need therapy yet just be careful and try to stop completly slowing down only enables you to keep doing it you need to stop completly would be my best advice for dealing with this sorry for the spelling mistakes and I wish you luck
