This will only give you a negative view on your future and prospects. What happens with eating disorders is they turn into an (OCD) obsessive compulsive disorder based on food. This is because every time you binge and purge you release a feel good chemical in the brain. This does not last long so you start to repeat the cycle again and again. As you continue you start to build new neuronal pathways in your brain these start to fire in the same way every time you binge and purge, you simply become obsessed with the act. It then becomes a compulsion as you cannot consciously stop even if you want to and now you have a disorder. What you must now do is start to resist the urges, every time you want to start binging walk away and go do something else: anything you enjoy doing as long as food is not involved. Is it easy at first to do? Certainly not. It will take all your will power at first and you will give in a lot at the start. But as you resist you will find you will start to succeed and the more you do the stronger you will become. Just remember: It is my OCD it is not me. Keep telling yourself that and it will help. I have a new book soon to be released called: Cure Your Eating Disorder: 5 Step Program to Change your Brain. The Neuroplasticity Approach This book explains everything about why and how you have the problem and a total treatment program to follow to beat it. All the best Dr Irina Hi Chelsea

What happens with eating disorders is they turn into an (OCD) obsessive compulsive disorder based on food. This is because every time you binge and purge you release a feel good chemical in the brain. This does not last long so you start to repeat the cycle again and again.

As you continue you start to build new neuronal pathways in your brain these start to fire in the same way every time you binge and purge, you simply become obsessed with the act.

It then becomes a compulsion as you cannot consciously stop even if you want to and now you have a disorder.

What you must now do is start to resist the urges, every time you want to start binging walk away and go do something else: anything you enjoy doing as long as food is not involved.

Is it easy at first to do? Certainly not. It will take all your will power at first and you will give in a lot at the start. But as you resist you will find you will start to succeed and the more you do the stronger you will become.

I have a new book soon to be released called:
Cure Your Eating Disorder: 5 Step Program to Change your Brain.
The Neuroplasticity Approach

This book explains everything about why and how you have the problem and a total treatment program to follow to beat it.

I still feel worthless though.
