I have been struggling for a couple of days now with bulimia. It's been hard to stop the pattern before someone notices. I failed there.

I always fiund it disconcerting...like alcohol or cugarettes or other addictions bulimia is a way of escape, compensation and an effect not a cause. You might think why you are bulimic, because of stress? Because of low self esteem? Other causes...they all lead to this effect, confort eating, eating to feel good and calm even if after that you get guilt.

Because of my metabolism I can get away with bulimia without vomiting. I can eat for confort without disturbing my body in any way and indeed i cannot go to sleep if i am hungry. A full stomach calmes me down even if when eating i get anxious and panicky...
