I am currently struggling with this myself... I was able to stop over the summer, but my methods would probably not be condoned by health professionals... However, after starting college this fall my bulimic habits started recurring after gaining 20 lbs. I didn't find professional help very helpful, so in order to curb my bulimia I have to be very careful with what I eat... I try keeping very close count on my calories, and I eat every 3 hours to avoid extreme hunger, which would lead to a binge. And definitely don't eat to the point of being overly full - this is more likely to encourage purging. Make a conscious effort and you should be able to curb this... Accept when you make mistakes, and don't let a one-day binge turn into a week-long binge. Pick yourself up, and continue to focus on becoming healthy.
Best of luck

I used to suffer from bulimia. I wouldn't recommend my way out, which was getting cancer. Once you're going through chemo, you have no urge to binge anymore.
I used to buy hard candy. I could avoid eating that excessive amount of food, if I had suckers or some sort of hard candy to keep me from eating. I would also brush my teeth numerous times, so that food wouldn't taste good (and because I had candy all the time...I didn't want that hurting my teeth)
I would also keep cereal around and eat it dry, so that I would have something fairly light to snack on. It didn't make me feel "bloated" to a point that I wanted to make myself sick, but it took care of that urge to eat.
I had to wean myself back into "meals". I got to the point that I would only eat once I had someone at home. It would force me to eat small portions and not throw up afterwards.
It's still hard for me sometimes. You have to take it one day at a time. Try not to think ahead to your next meal, it only leads to stress. Good luck to you.

Bulimia is usually related to low self esteem, feelings of helplessness and fear of becoming fat. It's a mental disorder which requires psychological help.

Ok, you have to stop this never ending cycle of over eating and regurgitating. Try to figure out why you are doing that. That is the point - try to figure out WHY you are doing this. Get some help - from your friends, co-workers, professionals. You can not get over this on your own; but just do it.

Go to a self help group or admit yourself into a rehab.

Get up off your lazy *** and progress onward and upward. Stiffing yourself with excuses only serves to stifle your assnine attitude. Make it a priority-PRONTO-to get the hell out of your head and pursue the dreams,that define happiness,with a moral lucidity, that gives direction and purpose of the best kind to rejoin the human race.

Contact my friend Spice, she suffered from it. Her web site is http://www.spice-of-life.com and you click on "articles" and look for her article on bulemia. E mail her with your question. She will answer you in about a couple of weeks.
