What do you do when you are caught binging and purging after a meal in the swankiest restaurant in town?

Question

By the way, it was in the rest room of the same restaurant!!!!

Answer 1

Loan your gag tool to the person beside you. Congrats your dining with the in crowd and now your purging with them as well. True bonding.

Answer 2

You think about it for two seconds and realize that your concern for having this act witnessed is a tiny little recognition that there is something in it that makes you feel ashamed or embarrassed.

You then think about that for two seconds and relize that this is your brain telling you that there is something unhealthy in what you are doing.

After two more seconds of thought you consider the possibility that there might be reasons you do this beyond weight loss.

A tenth of a second later you understand that it is actually about self-image, control, and, maybe, just maybe, a way to hurt or punish some part of yourself you don't like.

You actually spend a good 5 seconds thinking about that.

Then you feel all icky inside. You don't like that feeling so you go back out to the restaurant, order dessert, suck it down, then go back to the bathroom to start the whole process again.

It would seem to me there are far more pleasant ways to live.

Someday you might consider sticking with those icky feelings and finding a way to actually work through them. Psychotherapy actually does work, takes way less effort than vomiting, and tastes a heck of a lot better, too. Yeah, it's hard and takes time but not anywhere near as much time as it has taken you to learn to think the way you do now.

Learn to actually care about yourself and do what's best for your body and mind. No good will come out of hurting yourself over and over this way. You actually already know that.

Answer 3

Does it really matter where you were caught doing the binging and purging? I once did the same thing over and over until I was really sick. You obviously have some eating disorders and you need to sick professional help about it. Before it is too late for you. You are causing serious problems to your health. Including throat damage, stomach damage, and even on your hands.

Please go talk to your doctor. They can help you. Before you cause irreversible damage. This is really serious and nothing to play around with. Being caught is a good thing. Admitting is a bigger step.
