New, eating disordered & in need of help

karicandy

Hello! :) I'm kari, 25 and have been trying to go raw vegan for countless attempts. Now, finally I've come to the conclusion that I can't do this on my own. Suffering from severe anorexia at age 23/24, after a failed recovery attempt I fell into binge eating and later also bulimia and quite accurately doubled in weight. I am now overweight, ashamed and unhappy and most of all - I want to stop binge eating and I want to stop purging, and get back to the ideal weight for my body (aka pre-ed). It goes like this: I eat raw, clean, fresh, enjoy it and feel good. A few days later I binge and throw any concerns and ethics out of the window. I become depressed, vow to really change something, it goes great for a few days again and before I know it the cycle begins again. I really want to refrain from asking "why me, what I am doing wrong, why can't I do it" and rather wish I could start on this journey and stay 100% committed with someone else. So my question for you, I guess ;) - would anyone be interested in teaming up and starting some sort of 21-30 day challenge?

wow Kari! I hear you. I have the same issue...   when I begin the cleanese things go amazing but after several days I break and binge for a few days and its VERY frustrating. Does anyone have a suggestion??

Anyone have any tips for newbies and people who suffered  from binge eating?  - That would really really help out....

You should check out 'The Miracle of Fasting' by Paul Bragg. It should help a lot. He talks about How to have your mind become aware of when you are really hungry and when it is just your body craving food. There's heaps of good info in there. I must admit although I can still tend to binge eat sometimes, it's only ever healthy food and I'm defiantly aware when it occurs. So it's becoming more easily controlled. Goodluck :D
