-- Posted by Anonymous at 6:43 pm on Dec. 19, 2008 I tend to purge, especially now, during the holidays, when there's christmas cookies and more food than there'd usually be when I'm on campus. Every time I do it feels like I still haven't completely gotten rid of the food I put into my body, and it makes me feel heavier than I was before I did it. I'm miserable. I hate this. I -hate- this. It happens all the time, almost every night, I want to stop, but I can't, and it's awful. I need help.  Please. Can you give me ways to stop purging, and stop overeating in general? -- Posted by aleiram51 at 6:44 pm on Dec. 19, 2008 see a doctor/therapist. -- Posted by studmuffn at 6:44 pm on Dec. 19, 2008 exercise to balance it out :S instead of being lazy and starving -- Posted by malignant melanoma at 6:44 pm on Dec. 19, 2008 Me too! I was so much better while at college. -- Posted by ArrestedAndCharged at 6:45 pm on Dec. 19, 2008 The only way you're gonna get through this is by seeing a doctor. I think it goes beyond just "tips" on how to stop this, you need medication. Good luck. -- Posted by makingxmexsmile at 6:47 pm on Dec. 19, 2008 Quote: from ArrestedAndCharged at 6:45 pm on Dec. 19, 2008 The only way you're gonna get through this is by seeing a doctor.

Agreed. -- Posted by Colleen35 at 6:47 pm on Dec. 19, 2008 I don't know any strategies to stop purging, but if you binge before hand, a good way to combat it is every time you want to binge, fill a cup with ice and eat that.  It should give you the satisfaction of chewing and swallowing from binging, and last you long enough for your binging urge to go away.  Voila.  No calories. -- Posted by cindy love at 6:48 pm on Dec. 19, 2008 try to limit the food you take in. Only eat at meals
