I am sure being there for her as a friend - and not enabling the behavior is a great start.<BR/><BR/>You are a good friend! <BR/>JessJessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642277411680774594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193835673842672254.post-33456457021363738262009-02-26T17:12:00.000-05:002009-02-26T17:12:00.000-05:00I used to have bulimia and the only thing that wou...I used to have bulimia and the only thing that would stop me is if I knew I'd get found out. If she thinks people are "on to her" - ie, suspect she's throwing up, she might stop (at least at work, and that's a start!). What made me stop, after 5 years of it, was my college roommate my freshman year(who I love and still do), found out and thought it was so gross. We shared a bathroom so I couldn't hide it too well. Presto - stopped! Also, I just got really freaking tired of doing that. So tired of it that I didn't care if I got fat, I just wanted to stop. Amazing how I actually then started losing weight! All th sugar goes into your bloodstream immediately - you just puke out the good fiber and fat that keeps you full, and you eat more. A terrible way to live and agood way to get fat. Anyhoo, that's my 2 cents.

I think you're right-the only way to help right now is to be there for her and show that you care.<BR/><BR/>How's everything going with your new program? Hope all is well :)<BR/>Thanks for the comment btwBritishladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03163236608255727983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193835673842672254.post-15773111483631150682009-02-26T09:39:00.000-05:002009-02-26T09:39:00.000-05:00Hey there Girl!I just am reading a book by Scott A...Hey there Girl!<BR/><BR/>I just am reading a book by Scott Abel which is a real eye opener to this kind of situation..it is called "The Other Side of the Mirror" Great read! <BR/><BR/>Its a book I know you would enjoy because it is scientific as well as very in depth into the cause of body image disorder...not that you have that but I know you like to educate yourself on many forms.<BR/><BR/>Anyways I say she will not want your help until she comes to terms with it herself.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01434906031057418016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193835673842672254.post-20414024467051243802009-02-26T08:51:00.000-05:002009-02-26T08:51:00.000-05:00WOW, that's a really hard one Hillary. I really ge...WOW, that's a really hard one Hillary. I really get the feeling you have the answer already. Just be there for her and support her - but as long as she doesn't drain you. Don't forget about yourself in your quest to maybe 'help' others. You said it already.. keep working on yourself and do what you can for her.<BR/><BR/>I am super impressed in your ability to take a step back and just observe. This is huge! You worry about you (cause no one else will) and everyone else, well you just have no control over them. All you can do is watch and learn.<BR/><BR/>You can always say "if I only had more money.. more time.. a less stressful job, things would be different" but when you see that people that do have more money and time STILL have the exact same problems... it's kinda an eye opener. <BR/><BR/>You are doing great! :DLorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00778541892536506055noreply@blogger.com
