[quote=Anonymous]My story is linger but behavioral techiniques that worked for me on my own was really small steps.  Afer hitting a point when I thought driving into a tree was easier than continuing to live, I started to cut back on the purging in manageable steps.  For me, that meant I looked honestly at what a typical day looked like in terms of the binging/purging and if it was say 3x/day I would commit to something that felt like progress in terms of reducing the behavior, even if it meant 3x/day but eliminating one trigger food at a time.  After maintaining, then I would figure out what I could do next, even if it meant 3x/day with one more trigger food eliminated, etc. Until it gradually stopped.  I also gradually eliminated triggering environments (at home alone mostly) when I was eating.

Everything was very gradual for me but I am about 10 years out of destructive behaviors, at 41.  I also wouldn't call myself recovered because I have moments when I feel like turning to bad behaviors, but so far I have managed through them and I would consider myself recovering.[/quote]
