hi
it think i need some help. i think i have an eating disorder of some sort but i don't know where i fit.
i feel i can control it to a certain extent i.e. i am not underweight at all. however, it does feel quite out of control to be doing this kind of thing, i definitely know it is not a normal way to behave.
problem is binge eating and purging . thing is i am not 'bulimic' in the sense that i sick up everything, rather that i 'use' it as a way not to put weight on after binging. basically i skim off the excess iykwim.
i went to docs after last baby was born to voice my concerns, they gave me a book prescription for CBT but it just didn't fit in with my problems. the examples were proper anorexics and bulimics or people with anxiety issues. i tried an online course but, again, i couldn't make it work.
dh knows, to some extent, what goes on but i really hide it from him as, obviously, he finds it upsetting and cannot understand it. my dsis also knows and has same binging problem but not sicking.
i just don't know what to do.
i am healthy bmi but still have some baby weight to lose - about 7 lbs.
i want to feel in control of food, being on my own with food. i just don't feel like i have a full on ED, so to speak, but obviously something here is not right.
