im making myself vomit ....

[rainbowroad]

after i feel ive ate too much, its not all the time maybe once a week, i dont think its a problem at the moment but feel it may become one

ive lost almost a stone up to now but have another to go

i like what i see in the mirror now - apart from the stretch marks and am happy but still overeat sometimes than have no choice but to be sick

just realised that doesnt make much sense, i want to not do that, how do i make myselfnot overeat?

don't starve yourself, don't let yourself go too long between meals - if your blood sugar is nice and steady you won't get tempted to eat crap. and avoid buying lots of junk food, so that way you won't have the food immediately to hand when you get the chocolate/crisps etc craving. and try to see what triggers the overeating, and try and change the pattern a bit.

Well done for realising that this could become a problem and wanting to do something about it.

Try and get some help before this becomes a bigger issue than it already is. The Eating Disorders Association (now called beat) can help with bulimia.

Meanwhile try to eat little and often so that you don't overload yourself, and try to limit the sugary stuff - that can often make you feel hungrier as the sugar levels raise and then lower very quickly.

I've tried making myself vomit before, and d'ya know what, I just can't do it. What I mean is, even putting my fingers down my throat (gross, I know) doesn't make it happen for me. When I've been feeling really sick, and know that I'd feel better if I could just vomit - I can't. Weird, huh?
