How I Finally Broke My Purge Cycle

A few years back, I felt trapped in that binge-purge loop after every meal. It was exhausting and honestly, I didn’t think I’d ever get out. But here’s what actually helped me turn things around: 💡 Planning my meals and snacks ahead of time (yep, even snacks!) made it way less tempting to spiral. Sticking to a schedule = less chaos. 📌 After eating, I’d hang out with friends or call someone—anything to keep me out of the bathroom and distracted until the urge passed. ✅ Keeping a journal was huge. I’d jot down triggers, wins, and reminders of why I wanted to stop. Super grounding. ⚠️ Don’t go it alone. Talking to a therapist who gets eating disorders was a total game-changer for me. It’s tough, but every small step counts. You’re stronger than you think. #EatingDisorderRecovery #MentalHealthMatters #SelfCareTips #Health #Diet
