> Honestly, I'm confused. If *I* spefically asked others to volunteer their own personal opinion, then I'd expect others to offer me what I asked for.
I'm sorry. I did expect people to answer me honestly. At first I was OK with it, but then after letting things sink in some more it started to hurt. That's my problem to deal with though. I don't know what I want. I'm so confused I don't know up from down.
> I was just thinking, I don't think that "ignoring" has to be taken as a form of punishment or condemnation. It can also be a form of self-protecting. I think everyone has the right to NOT respond to whatever thread or poster they need to.
I agree. It's difficult to be ignored though, no matter what the reason. I tend to think the absolute worse about myself when it happens. I mean, wouldn't you if you asked the person if it was because you did something bad and you didn't get a response?
> Personally, when I babblemail someone to ask them for a response, then I would be wanting their attention -- eating disorder aside. She answered when you asked. I don't know.
Huh? Not sure what you mean here.
> I don't know how kosher it is to refer to off board things but, What did you think of the questions that I asked you in reply to the babblemail you sent me? I think it's relevant. I have a few others if you wanted. Though, maybe I haven't given you enough time to respond - it was only last night afterall.
You asked me if I'm trying to NOT recover and my answer is mostly no. For the most part I am trying to recover, but you know how complicated these things can get...resistance and all...I still want to be thin sort of thing and yet I just ate 500 kcal worth of ice cream, now what do I do sort of thing...

> Changing subjects :) In terms of that, What about my post above D? Do you think any of those would be things you could do to try to stop purging? Wanna talk about the things you are trying already? Maybe some feedback about methods that are failing will help you improve upon them. Are you up for it? I'll be crumpled over in my chair here, all by my lonesome, all day tomorrow if you want to post about stuff like that.Right now my pdoc wants me to stop skipping lunch. I should eat 3 healthy meals and snacks. I shouldn't worry about the calories in fruit. I should avoid getting too hungry.
I'm more worried about my purging than binging right now. My binging is not that severe. I've never eaten a whole gallon of ice cream before. Sometimes I purge just to get rid of the being full feeling. I suppose I should learn to deal with being full.
