Bulimia really messes with your metabolism, it might take a while for your body to get back to normal. When I first stopped purging I put on weight as well, even though I technically shouldn't have considering the amount of calories I was eating. The best thing you can do is probably to exercise regularly, if you're not doing that already, and just give it some time. As long as you don't start purging again, it's not a solution (as I'm sure you know). I've been free of mia for over six years, and I feel so much better, it's really worth it. Also, try to spread your calories out evenly during the day, in small meals, it will make it easier for your body to digest the food and will be better for your metabolism. 1000 cals sounds very reasonable.

Sorry, don't know if that helped much. I know it's really difficult to stop purging, I hope you can keep it up. Good luck, hun.

i've never been mia...i've tried to make myself sick but i just can't seem to go through with it. But very well done...it must be a battle that you have have to fight day by day, and you've done really really well. but yes, stick to under 1000 and stick to low carbs and low sugar and add some cardio to you daily routine

well done!! xxx

Great job! Keep it up! I know it's hard, but once your body gets used to no longer purging you'll start losing weight again!
I wish I could do that. The longest I've gone without purging in a long time is 2 days.

I've got the swollen glands and chipmunk cheeks so that's making me want to stop even more. Does anyone know how to get rid of this? How long does it take to go away? I was b/p during the day too, until my face started to get bigger. My problem is especially at night where I'll do it like 3x. I have a hard time going more than 1 day without b/p. I don't want to get fatter, but I want to be able to eat "normal" and stay the same weight. When we b/p it holds on to all the food we eat. Like if I eat just popcorn and ricecakes I swell up everywhere from the sodium. What are you eating to stay around 1,000 calories a day? My problem with that is if I start eating I can't stop then i feel guilty. I'm trying a new diet. Who knows if I can make it without b/p but here it is:

Day 1:fruits
Day 2:veggies
Day 3:meat
REPEAT

I'm only on day 1 now. I'll let you know if i make it!
