I have also being doing this for a while and I quit this summer because I was doing a program in which I had to live in the same room as others so I simply couldn't do this. I was so skinny this summer and miss my old body but I cant stop. I didn't do it today but it really is all I can think about, Im trying hard not too and now after reading everyone's posts on this site I realize that it does make you gain weight. The weight gain makes me feel horrible and I have to be in a bathing suite soon :( Im going to try to stop on my own, and set goals for myself but Im afraid that, I can't do it alone. I need help. Does anyone know of any way I can get help without telling I know who is close to me, hence I can not afford professional help. Is there maybe a support group in NY that anyone knows about? I can't go on like this anymore I've gained 30lbs and a horrible self-esteem, and lost lots of money. So happy to have found this site, Im glad there are people out there that understand me.
