im 35 wks pregnant and am a severe bulimic...binging and purging daily along w/ laxative abuse. i've gained about 13 lbs so far. im plagued with anxiety and guilt over my behavior but cant seem to abstain. i've struggled w/ this for more than half of my life. my heart breaks as i contemplate what im putting my unborn daughter thru, i hate myself for this. does anyone have any experience, strength or hope to offer on the subject??

I don't know if you've had your baby yet, but regardless I'll answer. First off, you are admitting you have a problem, and that's a good thing. A lot of people would not do that. My sister was bulimic for years, and I myself had an eating disorder for years. You could do several things...talk to your OB about it; visit a nutritionist; see a counselor. Please know it is possible to work through this. It does happen. I know for me it was mentally all consuming, and after working through it I felt "free", in a sense. For your sake and your daughter's sake I hope you find the strength to seek help.
