Nope. I knew about that a bit ago, and i’ve come up with all sorts of plans to ‘study abroad’ in Europe and return home with an illegal stomach pump. These things only purge like 1/3rd of the food, though. I’ve thought about bribing the doctors to put it at the base of my stomach so that anything eaten can be purged…
We have to pitch it to the doctors in some way that will ‘encourage our recovery’. Like we really have a problem with bingeing, so while we work to deal with our stress and emotions through healthier outlets we don’t harm our bodies further. Or getting one would help our fear of food gradually dissipate as we get used to the idea that eating food does not = automatic fat.
Or something like that, haha.
Haha, when I first found out that this existed, I told my my with great excitement about this new device. That was a mistake – she got more worried and thought I was insane. Oops!
Most doctors don’t know a tonne about eating disorders anyway, so we could totally make up a ‘treatment appraoch’ or a ‘recovery method’ that includes facing our fears head on, or interacting with exactly what we can’t control. 😉
I could get a masters in Social Work and become a Licensed Social Worker to put some extra letters behind my name. I mean, I’ll already have CPA (Certified Public Accountant), but that won’t help our case, haha. I could say I worked with the Rogers Memorial Partial Hospitalisation Programme (had treatment there… haha), which is a well-known centre on eating disorders in the nation. 😛
I wish I was as good at purging as I am at binging. I just had the revelation while writing my last post that when I use MyFitnessPal and accurately log my calories, I don’t fee the need to purge. Binges still happen but something about writing down what disgusting fat I put in my body makes me feel like I’m working on myself.I like your blog, btw.
See, I am the opposite. Seeing in black and white what I’ve put in my body FREAKS me out and I feel the need to not only purge but take ALL the laxatives and exercise and commit suicide and just generally self-destruct.
No. I have the people I was in treatment with recently, but they keep trying to convince me to continue with recovery, which just kind of annoys me, so it’s kind of strained at the moment.
Well while I think everyone should want to recover, I understand waiting until you’re ready. Feel free to email me if you ever want to talk. Maniccottoncandy@gmail.com 🙂

We could write an academic paper and include official sounding citations! I could probably even misconstrue some actual studies to back up our case!

I’d also be ok if someone just installed a door on my stomach so I could dump out the contents. I’m not picky.

I laughed and agreed to this! 🙂 Use MyFitnessPal. It helps me not binge as much which ultimately helps me not purge as much.

I have myfitnesspal and LoseIt, but I’m just as good at logging my stuff as I am at NOT binging and purging.
