Anorexic diet book Videos

"It's very confusing to be diagnosed with an acronym"--couldn't agree more. I'm so looking forward to reading this book and sharing it with my loved ones, too. So many people struggle with eating-related issues and they exist on a spectrum-- most of us don't fit squarely into the couple of categories listed in the DSM-IV. I look forward to hearing a range of voices on this topic rather than just the usual stereotypical "faces" of anorexia.

I'm trying to eat once a day. but still sometimes I feel that I can't control my self to eat more and more. mabve I try should try a real clean vegan life style

wow you are vegan :!! Do you follow a vegan diet for the animals too?

meat doesnt make u fat its all those carbs.

Glenn help! I asked my dad to help me go vegan and he laughed in my face and he won't buy me stuff to go vegan. What do I do?

So there's another definition of bulimia? Cause he said he was then said he couldn't make himself throw up?

I've always felt some confusion (for myself) about the ED definition and being termed a bulimic. I am not trying to excuse EDs or bulimia or say it's not dangerous and bad, but personally I haven't felt like it controls me or distresses me or impacts my health. I know that sounds crazy, and you could say I'm wrong, but personally I noticed that it doesn't feel the way as others seem to feel. I first started to purge my sophomore year in Highschool, maybe freshman,and my friend actually came up with the idea after we had both binged on a ton of junk food. After that, we both just kept doing it whenever we ate a whole bunch. I think I reached a point where I did it everyday, then we both started losing weight and I just backed off of it once I started getting worried about her and us because we were doing it everyday and even during school. I think we both realized it was going to far so we sorta just stopped. Then I would do it maybe once every few months and would go a long while.

Thanks for sharing this Brye it's going to help a lot of people.

This was such a powerful video. Thank you for sharing your story. I feel so bad about the identity issues you've faced in your life. I can't imagine how you felt. Now I feel guilty for saying you should be a model. I meant it as a total compliment because I think you are stunning. I have struggled with bulimia since I was about 12. It is so disgusting and shameful, and unless you have struggled with it, you have no idea how consuming it is. I still struggle with it intermittently. The last time was about a year ago. I admire your strength so so much to overcome the challenges you have faced. You truly are one of the most inspirational people I know, and I find so much strength in you. I love you, Brye, and I'm glad to be part of your life.

I always look for certain qualities in the friendships that I have. One of them is strength and the more I find out about you the more I love you. After hearing your story it made me so proud to be your friend, your strength and vulnerability allows everyone (including myself) to realize that its ok to not be perfect. I love you girl!!!!

Thank you for this Brye. I struggled with anorexia for a solid year about 5 or so years ago and was only able to overcome it because of my parents being on my ass about it 24/7. lol. However, lately i've been heading back down that road because i'm on my own and i have no one to hold me accountable anymore. I've been gaining weight because of my stressful college schedule and i've never hated what I see in the mirror as much as I do now and frankly, it scares me. I've started skipping meals again and really this video couldn't have come at a better time for me. This was a much needed wake up call. I hope I can pick myself up and get on the right track. Thank you so much. ILY, and i'm proud to be a Bee! :)

I am currently in my 5th month of Recovery from my 13 year battle with bulimia, its been one hell of a journey and I am not even close to recovered but I am not going to let ED get me back EVER, I actually got the eating disorder national sign tattooed on my collar bone with heart pulses coming out from the sides to represent that im living again :) I was in very bad deep depression back in May before I entered my hospital treatment for the 2nd time, I am so grateful for hospital groups and being able to share my story with so many around as I am very active socially about my journey along this road to recovery.

Its funny when you see someone just like yourself. At the time you feel like you're the only one.

Your channel is so triggering.

Honey all you have done is traded one unhealthy obsession for another. Get help It's clear to see that there is still ED behavior. That explains your irrational fear of any food that's not fruit. Fruit is your "safe food" (that deep down you think won't make you fat) and you've become obsessed with it in the same way an anorexic is obsessed with counting calories. You've constructed these false beliefs in your mind that any food outside of fruit is dangerous. Now that you've figured out a way to appear/feel cured (by eating lots of fruit) you're happy to consider yourself healed. Not that simple unfortunately. Just because you now binge on 50 bananas a day without throwing up doesn't mean you no longer have an eating disorder. Just take it from someone with a psych degree and I hope you eventually get help.
