Hi there

I'm also a recovering bulimic, I was anorexic in high school then "discovered" bulimia in my last year of high school then all throughout University and pretty much up until the 17th February 2003. What was so special about that date? thats the day I started Atkins, and I havn't binged/purged since then - so thats 10 weeks and counting.

Something clicked in my mind on that day and although I've felt the urges and voice in my mind saying "buy that cake you can throw it up and no-one will ever know" I've had the strength to overcome it for the first time in my life.....

When I said Atkins has saved my life, I think he truely did both from being obese and bound to die at an earlier age and from the trauma the bulima (binge/purge cycle of up to 3 times per week) was having on my body.....

I've never been more than 4 weeks without hitting the old habits (both of breaking a diet and the binge/purge cycle) so I'm breaking new ground in this WOL.... and I love it!
