I did something I don't do often. I haven't in a long time. But today I binged on cookies and ice-cream. I figure as long as I am gaining weight I might as well eat. Now I feel horrible and my stomach is not too happy with me. On the plus side I may actually have a poop which would be novel since I haven't had one in 2 weeks. My stomach really hurts but I deserve the pain for being such a pig.
Squealllll!

Followed by xx of laxatives. Why????? Why did I take all those laxatives? I know they are bad. I know they help you lose weight. I know how dangerous they are. I am returning to so many of my old habits that I am scaring myself.
I am so sad.

((((Maxime))))!!
as I read your post I felt so much sadness.
I used to abuse laxatives in the past too, thinking this would help me lose weight and "cleanse" me from my badness whenever I binged or overate.
I think you know yourself this does not work (the weight loss is mostly water weight and we absorb most of the calories before the laxatives kick in anyways). Not to mention how dangerous it is in the first place!! Also, your body gets so accustomed to using laxatives that it doesn't know how to have a regular bowel movement anymore without them (I don't mean to turn this into a lecture but I'm just telling you the facts and past experience).I hope you can talk about this with your psychiatrist and if you feel that he isn't really listening to you or taking your ED seriously, then maybe you can find a therapist who will be able to help you through this.
I'm thinking of you...let me know how you are doing.
