Digestive Disorders Guide

I know exactly how …
I know exactly how you feel. I have stuggled with addictions and obsessions from food, exercise, alchol, ect. since I was 12. From being obese to anorexic and deeply depressed to scared I would lose my happiness (being skinny). I wished for the longest time that I could find someone to share my struggles with. But I am finally OK now and I wish you the best of luck! It is possible to overcome this!!

I binge a lot. Im …
I binge a lot. Im trying to be healthier though. If its any consolation your face looks better, maybe its the layers in the haircut, but still. Anyway I think you should try concentrating on your studies more that this, I know its hards, but try at least. Its also nice to know there are other out there like me.

Hey

you should …
Hey

you should try to read Geneen Roth’s books, she has really helped me. I swear, our stories are identical. Swings into binges are a normal post-anorexia phase, you are normal, beautiful, eating more and more will not help you. This is something that is hard to realize. You just gotta try to feel whatever you’re feeling, don’t stuff it down. Just feel it.

Im in a similair …
Im in a similair boat, since going away to school all I eat is fast food. Im atleast 10 pounds heavier then when I moved, my acne is worse& I dont have the desire to do much else. My daily schedule is normally go to school, eat, nap, eat, work, eat& then bed again. But after watching these videos I want to go run on the tred mill. It’s nice to see someone I can relate to& I admire your open-ness& wish I wouldve been there to push u thru ur struggle, make u run with me

I recently ordered …
I recently ordered this book among many others. Binge eating is nothing I’d wish on anyone. There are so many people who tell you to stop if you know how badly you’re hurting yourself, but if you truly have a BED it’s not that simple. I’ve lost track of the days I’ve told myself “today will be a new day, a good day, I’m in control”. I’m depressed, emotional, stressed out, and I’ve finally entered myself into an eating disorder clinic. This isn’t something I can do to myself anymore.

that’s soo sad. …
that’s soo sad. thanks for being so honest! I didnt know people went thru things like this. you’re so beautiful and I hope you don’t feel bad about your looks. Just go out with your friends more and try to connect with ur body. dont listen to what ur brain says. I hope you get better and have a great college life!

You look healthy to …
You look healthy to me. How about go back to your healthy whole grains and veggies ritual? That would compensate both “thinking about food all the time” and lose weight. Eating veggies all day doesn’t give you too much calories.

my sister had …
my sister had anorexia for about 2 years before she ended it. then she became a binger… Today, she’s healthy although she’s a bit chubby. but she’s started to exercise and you cant imagine how fast she gets in shape!
well, what i wanted to say is that your body is trying to compensate the energy you’ve “lost” before. Also it can be lack of vitamines and minerals… im not saying that binging isn’t a problem so don’t get me wrong. i have the same problem

drugs can solve …
drugs can solve everything and im not jus saying that to be an idiot

im a 18 year old …
im a 18 year old male and i am caught up in this throwing up crap

but it ing works!

so i can’t stop but im only doing this until i’m at 115 pounds…

I ing love you! …
I ing love you!! Haha Thanks for being honest about everything - you have no idea how much it helps someone like me.

OMG!! You just …
OMG!! You just described my life!!! I do everything you mentioned! I have that sister(not twin thou), I have that obsession, I feel the same depressing thoughts… I’m asian, and I think we’re about the same age too! Just keep trying! Sounds like you’ve already gone to a doctor, so you’re heading in the right direction. I wish I could offer some advice you’re not alone!

Thank you so much for sharing!!
