Dear Readers,
I was aksed by a reader on how to deal with shame and relapses in Bulimia Recovery. I found this brilliant youtube video by Lauren Marsh: In Bulimia Recovery, how do I deal with the B/P cycle + feeling guilty, anxious + ashamed?. her tips are very handy. Please take out 15 minutes to watch the video. I hope it will answer many of your questions.
In this Video Lauren answers one of the questions from one of the members of her community:
“Hi Lauren, I’m hoping you can help. I am struggling emotionally with feeling hungry. I have horrible guilt when I’m hungry. Because I’m overweight, I’m ashamed to eat as much as my meal plan requires. It seems like I’m always eating! So then I get anxious and the B/P cycle starts. I’m also finding I don’t understand the difference between full and satisfied. Both make me feel anxious and eat more because then I know I’ll purge. I’m not really sure what to do with this. Do you have any advice to share? Thanks. Amy”
