I think 120 pounds is very thin for 5' 6". I'm sure you are not fat. If you eat healthy and exercise when you are feeling bad, it will help. Exercising releases endorphins that make you feel good. If you are not very athletic, try yoga, it is a good workout and it's also relaxing. If you eat less, your metabolism will slow down and you will be more apt to gain weight. It's best to eat often throughout the day. I think you need something else to take your mind off of the food. I hope you can find a new hobby to help you!View Thread

I'm not sure if I am bulimic or not. I only purge sometimes. I was getting to the point where I was doing it about 4-5 times/week. I am also trying to conceive right now, but I plan to stop purging when I get pregnant. I only purge at night. I eat really healthy during the day and keep all food down. Some nights I eat a healthy dinner and don't purge. But if I do not eat healthy, I end up purging. Is this still considered being bulimic? I haven't had a period in almost 4 months. I want to know if this could be related to my purging or not? Since I eat healthy MOST of the time and do not purge, I don't think this has anything to do with the loss of my periods. I want to have a baby, so now I'm starting to wonder if this is affecting it?View Thread
