Looking for excuses for bulimia?

by Sara
(USA)

I'm so mad right now because I've yet again, allowed my bulimia to take over. I vented my frustrations to my husband and his response was that I was looking for excuses to binge. You know what? I think he's right. Does anyone else ever feel like they use any issue, big or small as an excuse to engage in eating disorder behavior?

I'm trying so freaking hard to stop the cycle, but I'll make a little progress and then in one second, all of my hard work has gone to hell. I feel like such a huge disappointment and my bulimia is definitely interfering with my marriage. It's putting so much distance between me and my husband and I'm scared that I'll let my bulimia win.

Thanks for reading everyone...just needed to vent a little.

bulimia recovery progress
by: Shaye

Hi Sara,

I am sorry you had a rough day! I remember them all too well - and they can dash your spirits like water to a flame! But, the truth is that one rough day will not take away all the awesome progress that you have made... It's impossible... What's done is done - and that includes the good stuff, it's happened and there is no removing it, not even if you binge/purge :) Try to hop back on board the recovery wagon and build on your past achievements! I know you have the strength within you - not only to get up after you've slipped - but to beat this thing completely!

I am thinking of you and wishing you all the beautiful love and happiness that I know you deserve :)

love
Shaye

Excuses for Bulimia
by: R - (USA)

Hi Sara,

I have the same problem! If I am happy, I wanna b/p.
If I had an argument with my husband, I would go to the grocery store to b/p. Even if I go 2 days without b/p I think I deserve one day off!! It is horrible. I feel awful.

I also fear for my marriage. The bulimia is destroying my relationship.
I am crazy jealous and every time my husband looks to someone, I think she is skinnier than me, happier, that if I gain weight he will leave me, that I am not good enough.

Thank you for sharing your store.

We can beat this - and keep our husbands :)
