ABSTRACT

You may resort to methods other than restricting food intake in an attempt to control your weight. The usual methods are making yourself vomit or taking laxatives or diuretics. Often these methods of “weight-control” start when you feel that dieting alone is not enough to counteract the binge effect. Part of you may 52feel, “I can have my cake and eat it” – however, this is far from the truth. Part of you is probably feeling deeply ashamed and worried about purging. You are right to be worried.
