Another Newbee!

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone, my name is Amie. I am 26 yo with 3 children, a hubby and

a dog. I am currently at home with my children and in Nursing school.

I have been suffering from bulimia and binge eating since I can

remember. I don't ever remember eating and food NOT being an issue! I

would like to set a good example for my 3 little girls and so desire to

be healthy and FREE!!!! The key here for me is FREE! Sometimes I feel

so trapped in my body vs. mind war with food and eating. It is so time

consuming and takes a lot out of me. I hope that I can get some help

on this site and that I can also help others! Look forward to talking

to you all in the future!

Hi, Amie

Nice to *meet* you, and glad to have you with us! )

You may also like the Diet Survivors (yahoo) group ... there are a lot of people

there, too, that are recovering from bulimia (and/or anorexia). The address is:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DietSurvivors

There's a great database of information through that group, too...

HI AMIE, MY NAME IS MELISSA. I AM NEW TO THIS GROUP , BUT NOT NEW TO THIS PROGRAM. I AM 32 WITH 2 KIDS, AND I TOTALLY DO NOT WANT THEM GROWING UP WITH THE VICIOUS CYCLE OF DIET - BINGE THAT I LIVED IN. I REALLY KNOW( FOR ME ) DIETS DO NOT WORK AND MAYBE FOR SOME THEY DO, BUT FOR ME- THEY RESULT IN AN INSTANT BINGE. WHEN I AM ON ONE I AM SO IMPATIENT , NASTY AND CRANKY TO MY FAMILY AND THEN WHEN I AM BINGING AFTERWARDS , I AM THE SAME IF NOT WORSE FROM ALL THE GUILT , SELF HATRED AND PITY. I HAVE ONLY BEEN HAPPY TWICE IN MY LIFE - IN THE BODY -DIET- BINGE- AREA.... AND THAT IS WHEN I WAS REALLY WORKING ON NOT DIETING. WAS I EVER AS SKINNY AS I WAS WITH EXTREME DIETS,EXERCISE, ETC.? NO, BUT NOT FAR FROM - A FEW POUNDS OR SO , AND THAT WAS WITH NO DIETING.. IT WAS GREAT! AFTER MY SECOND CHILD, I GOT SUCKED IN TO THAT CRAZY LAND OF DIETS AGAIN. I DON'T KNOW HOW IT HAPPENED, I SWORE I WOULD NEVER LIVE THERE AGAIN, BUT I GUESS

I WAS JUST VISITING "AN OLD FRIEND= ENEMY)". NOW I AM BACK HOME AND LET ME TELL YOU , THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME. NOT ALL OF MY WORRIES ON THIS ISSUE ARE GONE, BUT I AM IN SUCH A BETTER PLACE SINCE I ADMITTED I HAVE NO POWER OVER FOOD WHEN I AM DIETING. WHEN I GOT RID OF THE "ABUSIVE BOYFRIEND", WHICH I CALL MY DIETING, I GET AWAY AND I AM FREE TO LIVE IN A MORE PEACEFUL PLACE. WILL THAT PLACE TRY TO TRAP ME AGAIN, PROBABLY, BUT REALIZING THE TRUTH AND STICKING TO IT IS SO MUCH BETTER FOR MY FAMILY, ESPECIALLY MY LITTLE GIRL. I KNOW THAT I AM A ROLE MODEL FOR HER AND I WOULD HATE TO INFLUENCE HER IN ANY WAY THAT IS BAD. GOOD LUCK TO YOU, MELISSAjzoldlady wrote: Hi everyone, my name is Amie.
