So about 3 years ago I struggled with on-again, off again bulimia. Lately, especially as I'm typing this, I've been struggling with the urge to binge/purge again because, despite the fact that I no longer do it, my body image issues are still raging. And I don't want to jeopardize my recovery- 1 year of no cutting, 2-3 of no bulimia- but I feel so disgusting, to the point where I'm starting to think that I need to do it again.
Don't do it!!! I did some binge/purging when I was young and permanently ruined my teeth, just had to have even the fronts capped recently and the backs have been crowned for years. And it could have been worse! Can you find a healthier outlet? Exercise? Is there new stress in your life that's making you think about it?
