Bulimic... Cant stop..

[Gage68]

I dont really know where else to go, its gone on for 2 years now and i cant stop and i've tried so hard on my own and i need someone or just people in general to talk to but i cant let anyone i know in person know that im weak enough to be suffering from this... i used to weight 240 lbs in high school and now im in college im down to 165 (did it the healthy and natural way of dieting) and than developed this binge eating and purging disorder and i just cant stop... im not trying to sound like a jerk or cocky person but i honestly think im an attractive young man but i constantly hate my body even though others say its nice, i dont know what to do can anyone please help me.

I am in a similar boat. I have binge/purge off and on for many years. Recently I have stopped the binge part and just purged anything I eat for fear of ganing any weight. I am currently pretty close to happy with my weight, but don't want to change my eating habits because I enjoy food.  (I feel so selfish, or self indulgent) so I purge which makes me feel cleansed.  And I still get the satisfaction of consuming food.   I wish I knew the answer to this problem for I fear its only going to get worse if I don't change. I hope you have the strenght and will power to change your ways too.

"Can You balance the eating with exercise in replacement'?

i dont think its that i dont like my body, its that i love my body but i also love food and i cant find a way to balance it, i feel like eating the things i enjoy is ruining my body but than making myself call it back up is also killing me.

It is going to be extremely hard for You to stop this habit without You seeing someone or seeking professional help.
"Bulimia" can take a toll on someones life for a lifetime if it is not sorted out and other ways are not found to cope.
It is common for people with Eating Disorders to dislike their bodies, hence getting further and further into the self destruction
