In What Way Can Bulimia Harm You?
People suffering from bulimia may suffer even more with long-term effects. Obsession on physical image, weight and self-esteem issues are some of the components that make up bulimia. If not recognized or treated immediately, it could lead to even more dangerous effects like physical and psychological damages or even death. Why do you think most sufferers seek out a counselor instead of a doctor for their bulimia recovery, it is because the emotional trauma is a lot more painful than the physical effects.
Bulimic patients often start by obsessing on their weight that later on urges them to take extreme measures in order to avoid weight-gain. Taking laxatives and diuretics as well as purging after binge eating is rampant in cases of bulimia.
Doing these regularly and purposely may cause some serious harm in the body. The person suffering from bulimia may experience any of the following: ulcers, heart problems, digestive problems, bad breath and sore knuckles.
Psychologically, the bulimic patient may eventually suffer from depression as well as extremely low self-esteem. There’s no saying what other effects the person is susceptible to if he or she does not surrender to a bulimia recovery program.

What Are The Optional Therapies For Bulimics?
Two of the most accepted treatments for bulimia nervosa include pharmacological treatments (the use of powerful drugs to curb the bulimic tendencies) and psychotherapeutic treatments (psychological evaluation, re-education and cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT.) But it is important to remember that different people are affected differently by this medical condition. There are many individual variations in the signs and symptoms of bulimia nervosa. This is likewise the case in terms of the severity and incidence rate of both binging and purging instances. The problem is further compounded by the fact that this condition takes hold at different ages. In some instances, serious cases of bulimia strike patients at the onset of adolescence, while at other times it occurs in a person's late 20's.
Following the majority rule for mind-related ailments, some bulimia treatment options are successful for a small percentage, while the rest with this condition are still looking for cures. It is accurate to state that a lot of folks suffering from bulimia have tried successive therapies, including combining some treatments in the hope of a faster cure. Both traditional and alternative treatments can be prescribed singly or together - with the strict and full cooperation of the patient to the treatments. Hypnotherapy, acupuncture, and activities for releasing stress are a few of the known remedies that are alternative which show positive, but limited success.
Acupuncture has been used for centuries as an accepted form of practice in alternative therapy. This type of treatment for bulimics has proven effective in relieving the continual urge to binge and purge. In some cases, the person with bulimia nervosa feels less inclined to practice unhealthy eating habits due to the general feeling of well-being after each acupuncture session. However, only a small number of people are naturally predisposed to sought this kind of treatment and the patient’s cooperation (and willingness to believe) in the remedy plays the most crucial role in the healing process.
Hypnotherapy is generally utilized in cases where patients are experiencing some type of depression. It is an accepted theory that people with bulimia nervosa also suffer from anticipated disorders like anxiety disorders and depression. Sometimes hypnotherapy is used as part of a psychotherapy course of treatment. Again, very few people can actually be placed under hypnosis or follow suggested actions to overcome both bulimia and depression.
Elderly patients, as well as mild sufferers of the disorder, may find stress relief through calming activities that reduce the effects of depression, which leads to a reduction in binging and purging. Calming exercise such as yoga, or tai chi, along with meditation and massage therapy, can be useful to a person in connecting with their body in a positive manner. Typically, MNT or dietary therapies will be added once the patient responds to this type of bulimia treatments. This involves re-educating the patient regarding a proper diet for optimal health.

Dangers in Bulimia
Many bulimia sufferers do not understand the dangers in bulimia and the consequences of binging and purging. They think it is something they can do which has no detrimental consequences to their body. It is not until after a while they start noticing that they are harming their body. Swollen glands are a major concern because it makes the bulimics face look fat and therefore is having the opposite desired effect. There are many dangers associated with bulimia; watch this video to learn about them or visit here to find a bulimia treatment.

Bulimia and Swollen Glands
Bulimia sufferers tend to notice that they get swollen glands after a binge and purge episode but don't really understand what it is happening and why they get it. Often they panic and think they are getting fatter when they see a chubby face in the mirror and will purge some more to try and reduce the puffiness. This obviously is not a solution as it only aggravates the situation and can increase the length of time the swollen glands persist. If you are unable to stop binging and purging by yourself then it is worth seeking some form of bulimia treatment.
What Is The Best Treatment for Bulimia?
The best approach in the treatment of bulimia is actually a balanced combination of all the treatments that will match closely a particular patient’s profile and circumstances. In this multidisciplinary approach, the patient’s doctor, psychiatrist, and dietitian are involved. In some cases where complications from the eating disorder have arisen, a surgeon or endocrinologist may have to render their services. Lastly, the help of a dentist can also contribute in the detection and ongoing treatment of bulimia.
This multidisciplinary bulimia treatment plan should have the following goals:- Treatment of physical complications
- Treatment of psychiatric conditions, including changing of the patient’s thoughts, attitudes, and feelings related to and causing bulimia
- Elimination of binge eating and purging
- Providing of education on nutrition
- Motivating the patient to practice healthy eating patterns and attitudes
- Getting the family to support the treatment as well as also providing the family with counseling, and
- Preventing the patient from going to relapse
- Cognitive behavioral therapy
- Interpersonal therapy
- Nutritional rehabilitation and counseling
- Family therapy
- Couple therapy
- Support groups and guided self-help
- Psychodynamic psychotherapy
- Bright light therapy
The medical aspect of the treatment includes all or a combination of inpatient care, surgical care, and medication.
Inpatient care is given in cases of medical complications and infections, incapacity of the patient to function in daily life, absence of a support structure, failure of outpatient bulimia treatment methods, or risk of suicide. Surgical care is required when patients develop gastric dilatation, which is severe and uncontrollable vomiting that happens right after food consumption. This condition is one major cause of bulimia-related deaths. Surgical treatment is also required if the patient develops esophageal tear.Medication for the treatment of bulimia is often in the form of antidepressants. These are helpful for patients who have symptoms of depression and anxiety. Medication is used to complement ongoing psychological treatment. Antidepressants that have proven effectiveness in most cases and have fewer negative side effects are SSRIs or Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors.
Other medications that have been tried in treating mood disorders associated with bulimia are tricyclic antidepressants, topiramate, lithium, valproic acid, ondansetron, baclofen, and methylphenidate. In prescribing medication, doctors must present and discuss the benefits and risks related to antidepressant treatment with the patients and their families. The importance of making this decision can hardly be overemphasized for young patients such as children and adolescents.

Simple Simile for your Bulimia Recovery!
Here is a wonderful poem by an unknown author, which I simply love!
It 's as if though it was written just for you..bulimia sufferer reading this blog post!
It 's as if though it was written just for you..bulimia sufferer reading this blog post!
1
I walk down the street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I fall in
I am lost..i am helpless
It isn’t my fault
It takes forever to find a way out
2
I walk down the same street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I pretend I don’t see it
I fall in again
I can’t believe I’m here in the same place
But it isn’t my fault
It still takes me forever to get out
3
I walk down the same street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I see it there
I still fall in..it’s a habit
My eyes are open
I know where I am
It is my fault
I get out immediately
4
I walk down the same street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I walk around it
5
I walk down another street
I walk down the street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I fall in
I am lost..i am helpless
It isn’t my fault
It takes forever to find a way out
2
I walk down the same street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I pretend I don’t see it
I fall in again
I can’t believe I’m here in the same place
But it isn’t my fault
It still takes me forever to get out
3
I walk down the same street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I see it there
I still fall in..it’s a habit
My eyes are open
I know where I am
It is my fault
I get out immediately
4
I walk down the same street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I walk around it
5
I walk down another street
The beauty of this poem is in the way, it could easily illustrate the journey of a Bulimic sufferer going through various stages of changes :
From a place of Helpless Victim, to that of Concious Ignorant state, through to becoming Aware of habits and taking ownership, then re-inforcing it with Avoidance of trigger situations by forming New Skills and right through to practicing Choices and preventions mindset that promotes MASTRY of your BULIMIA RECOVERY for life!
Feel free to print this out and read it every day to help you stay on your Right Path!

To Diet Or Not To Diet!
To Diet Or Not To Diet!
Ok it has been a while since Mark or I (Vathani Navasothy) wrote something here!
Research shows most of you suffering from Bulimia, find the autumn months of October.. leading in to the winter right through to few months in to the New Year, the hardest part of the whole year..You may be already wondering about jumping straight in the ocean of yet another diet..I thought NOW is the time to jump in with you and guide you to the safer shore away from bulimia and in to the paradise life you want to live in .
Festivities like Halloween, Thanks Giving, Rememberence day, Christmas, New Year are just a few that fall on our fall calender filling us with temptations around food and feasting !
In addition the ending of warm, sunny, summer leaves behind craving for more of the same, whilst our mood tends to hit that all time low with SAD kicking in for good measure.
So how do you muster up the strength to work on a life free of bingeing and purging, in the abscence of laxatives or diuretics or even the crazy increase of exercise activities..?
Your first step is to resist the temptation to sign up for another quick fix diet club, or embark on any calorie controling activity or purchasing lotions or potions that claims to have you walking around light as a feather in no time at all! If that mean locking away your credit card or tightly tieing your purse strings..then let the time of this credit crunch actually help you make matters better for your recovery from Bulimia!
Second step, stay tunned for my weekly top tips and exporation work that will guide you to recovery inch by inch till you have fully beaten bulimia!
Sounds like a plan? Well it is ..Let your 1st day of your rest of your life starts here today!
If you don't want to wait for weekly help, support or helpful intervention on your self, but want the same outcome at the pace you can control..then visit Bulimiahope.com and discover how you can fast track your bulimia recovery .
Take care for now!

WHY BULIMIA IS A STRUGGLE Part 2
BULIMIA AND SELF-ESTEEM
Self-esteem can not be put in a backpack or purse and be carried with us. It is a sense of worth that we have about ourselves. It is present in our minds and souls and can serve us well if it is healthy or cause significant pain if it needs maintenance or repair.
Self-esteem is created through hard work and effort. It is a function of dedication, motivation and education. The more we learn about it, the better prepared we are to make the modifications necessary to insure that it is operating at peak efficiency.
A strong image of oneself is vital to insure that each of us achieves our potential and are able to beat bulimia. If your self-esteem is not satisfactory, it needs to be changed. The fact is that it can be changed and people that have adopted changes in their lifestyle have also noted that they feel more comfortable with themselves and their self-esteem has been improved substantially. They also find it much easier to beat bulimia.

WHY BULIMIA IS A STRUGGLE Part 1
BULIMIA AND BODY IMAGE
Do you want to make changes to your body?
Do you want to make changes to your eating habits to insure you are getting the proper nutrition?
Do you need to exercise more?
Almost everyone will answer yes to these questions. People who suffer with bulimia are no different than most other people in possessing a desire to improve themselves.
The problem is that bulimics just need to adopt the right habits, which will enable them to feel happy about their body image. They need to learn where to go to find help that is right for them.
Our body is our home. It requires maintenance, repair and renewal to insure that it is fine-tuned and working properly to serve our physical, emotional and intellectual needs. It is impossible to move out of our bodies, so we need to maintain it properly.
No one's body is perfect. Even the most beautiful and physically attractive people have areas that they want to improve.
The first lesson a bulimic must learn is that no one is perfect.
The second lesson is to recognize that changes can be made to improve ourselves.
Making changes to bulimia habits that are a cause of discontent is often difficult. It is not an overnight process. It requires commitment, motivation, hard work and a recognition that it takes time to complete the change.
The good news is that you can beat bulimia. Many have beaten bulimia. Large dramatic changes are possible and likely for someone that recognizes and celebrates each small change.

LIFE & STRESS - HOW DO YOU COPE?
LIFE, STRESS and BULIMIA - HOW DO YOU COPE?
Life's little ups and downs can be testing for the toughest amongst us!
Stress is not all bad. It prepares your mind and body for what ever it is you are about to encounter. Adrenalin produced in the right amounts can help you perform better in an interview, exam, public speaking, being creative, finishing a project or dealing with a difficult person.
It helps to push you beyond your comfort zone and enables you to achieve greater success.
But what if that stressor is crippling or paralysing you, does your life grind to a holt or do you feel you are stuck in-limbo?
Is Bulimia stressful for you, if so, how do you cope?
ASSESS YOUR COPING STYLE
Think about a recent stressful situation that triggered a binge and purge.
This could be a situation that was difficult to handle or perhaps something that was troubling you. You may have felt distressed about something that happened to you or had to deal with something that required a considerable amount of effort.
It could be a situation that has pushed you to binging and purging on numerous occasions in the past.
Once you have an event in mind, assess your coping style by completeing the exercise below:
WHILE KEEPING YOUR STRESSFUL EVENT IN MIND, READ THE LIST OF STRATEGIES BELOWAND SCORE them 0 - 3 RANKING THEM IN TERMS OF HOW MUCH YOU USED THEM IN THAT SITUATION:
0= NOT USED 1= USED SOMEWHAT 2= USED QUITE A BIT 3= USED A GREAT DEAL
1. I did something that I didn't think would work, but at least I was doing something.
2. I tried to get the person responsible to change his or her mind.
3. I slept more than usual. Drank or smoked more.
4. I expressed anger to the person(s), who caused the problem.
5. I tried to make myself feel better by bingeing and later vomiting.
6. I took a big chance or did something very risky to solve the problem.
7. I stood my ground and fought for what I wanted.
8. I took it out on other people (partner, parent, friend etc).
9. I refused to believe that it had happened.
10. I had fantasies or wishes about how things might turn out.
Scoring:
Now add up your scores for questions: 1, 2, 4, 6, 7
Add up your scores for questions 3, 5, 8, 9 & 10
If your score is higher for the 1st group of questions, then you tend to favour "CONFRONTIVE COPING".
If you scored higher on the 2nd group, then you are more likely to employ "ESCAPE-AVOIDANCE" as a coping mechanism.
Most bulimia sufferers tend to adopt an escape-avoidance coping style through food abuse. This hides a lack of ability in dealing with matters assertively.
Escape-avoidance is based on wishful thinking and efforts to escape or avoid a problem altogether.
Confrontive coping is typified by positive efforts to alter the situation and can involve some degree of aggression and risk-taking.
Now that you know which style of Coper you are, in our next blog, we will show you the key steps you can learn to help you take more control of your life through being Assertive!

CAN’T AFFORD BULIMIA TREATMENT IN THE BAHAMA’S?
Clear blue skies, warm turquoise sea and white sandy beaches… A luxurious trip to the Bahamas may be the answer for the rich and famous that suffers from bulimia – like in the case of Lindsey Lohan! But what about the rest of us, where do we go for bulimia treatment?
Skipping through glossy magazines; many of us sit back with a heavy sigh, and a hint of admiration or even envy for the A list Celebrities; we wish that we too could do something to cure our Bulimic ailment and have a treatment that we can all afford!
Well, the recent launch of a bulimia self-help e-book, could not have arrived at a more opportune time! Solving the worries of affordability at a fraction of the price of a Bahamas treatment centre. This much-valued book is now available to you, with a click of a mouse, in the comfort of your own home. The “Conquer Bulimia Success Program” is the music to our ears, which many of us have been waiting to hear. Comprehensively written by specialists in the field of Eating Disorders, this self-help guide offers strategies, techniques and tips that will change your Bulimic life in 8 weeks, inside-out!
Mark Dobryniewski, founder of Bulimiahope.com says, “ Provided our customers are serious about their recovery, and commit to working through the whole book, I would seriously doubt if they weren’t very excited about their new, transformed Bulimia free life”. He added: “There is no other book quite like this one!” As more and more sufferers find themselves demoralized and down hearted after the recent festivities – this promises to give them with new hope and lasting success!
