Binge and Purge
Hi everyone, I'm so empowered by you all sharing your histories and habits and am looking for support as well
I'm a binge eater. I find myself self soothing when I'm lonely and my "routine" is changed. It's been about 10 years of consistent binges. Going out of the house, buying food, eating it in privacy. I live alone so it's not hard for me to hide. I also purge.
It started as being unsatisfied with my body, which I do feel good about. I exercise every morning and it is the one piece that has kept me moderately healthy and sane. The addiction however continue to hold me back in so many ways.
I had a few small wins recently, a few binge free days, and am hoping to find more. One piece I know I'm missing is community. I have done to therapy and I've looked into 12 step programs but thought I'd start here. Also it's nice to have 24/7 support. I'll be checking in when I feel the urges arise.
Know that I admire you all, and it's nice to not feel as alone.
Keep faithful and never give up on yourself!
