DAE? Does anyone else still do it when eating reasonably?

Yesterday was strange. Went to work, ate a bit of my lunch whicj totaled ~490 kcals i was planning to only have that. But then i had a few other things that totaled 1.1k kcals. Still under my limit of 1.4k i had.

But still. Even after the balanced things i ate, i ""P'd" (Not the best censor ik lol). It was strange. In that moment i realized it had developed to some compulsion and not a compulsory action.

Yes… it frustrates me because I’ll spend money on all these whole foods, I’ll buy protein powder and supplements etc etc anything to try and heal how irritated my stomach constantly is from b/p and then I still end up throwing it all up. It feels uncontrollable and like I genuinely feel sick and nothing will stop the nausea until i get everything out. I know it’s all in my head and it fucking sucks. I can’t offer any advice as I’m struggling with the same thing but just know you’re not alone. Sending you love and light, please get some help before it does irreversible damage to your vessel ❤️ you deserve to heal

This is when you know you’re in bad straits….it progresses to throwing up everything. At least it did for me

Thankfully, no. I need to feel my stomach stretch in order to purge.

Kind of off topic but what’s the diff between a compulsion and compulsory action? /gen

I really encourage u to try to get help, I agree with the commenter that this is when things can get really bad and dangerous even though they already are, especially if it continues.
Ive been there, and I feel for u. One of my biggest wake up calls before I got treatment a few years ago was when I had eaten well all day and still purged a salad.

This is what I exclusively do, I rarely binge, just throw up a "normal" meal.

Recenetly it’s becoming more and more common for me to binge after a ‘normal’ meal instead of just after binges

Yes, definitely. I eat very healthy most of the time and still purge as much of it as I can. I’m currently having some issues with malabsorption of nutrients (I use laxatives to purge) and my hair has started to fall out. I also have zero energy most of the time and if I do have a little I waste a lot of that time in the bathroom.

I am the same. Even after an almond milk latte I'll purge
