Hiya, thanks for replying. Don't think we have gatorade in the UK but we have a similar kinda thing (I think) called Lucazade. My Nan's been telling me to get some this past week. I don't seem to have the swelling thing, apart from arond my neck glands which I think has to do with the saliva glands being overworked due to the mia. Just so down at the minute, had a binge-free night tonight because my lovely doctor told me to "please try and not be sick over the weekend." Feel so pathetic and fat - even tho' I seem to not have gained too much from actually eating "dinner" tonight, which was two slices of toast and some hummous. I know I'll have gained in the morning because I've had about a bottle of wine to try and cheer myself up/ distract myself from food. I hope it's going to get better and I just need to be patient. I must say, I've found this forum so helpful - first time I've used it but peoples' reponses and posts are very reassuring and helpful ... Thanks again x
your welcome that drink seems similar to gatorade so i would get some:) yeah your glands are prob rather swollen from the purging. having an eating disorder is very hard all we wish for is to wake up and be normal but the truth is we have to work so much harder because our drug of choice is food and we need it to survive so its extremely difficult. and just so you know i doubt toast and hummous will make you gain any weight :) and any weight gain you do see is just water weight try not to be too hard on yourself and if you do fail then you can only try harder the next day. if you ever need somene to talk to just send me a msg xxxx
