Another? What are you considering the first? There’s not really a “cure” for anorexia/bulimia. It’s a psychological condition (many times caused by or in conjunction with another one) that needs therapy to help the patient get through. Like alcoholism, they may always battle with this but can stop the behavior with good help and support.
Unfortunately, there is no cure. I am currently in recovery from Anorexia, but it has taken a lot of hard work, tears, and support. I currently see a therapist to work on the root of why I have starved myself sick… and the support of my husband has been crucial.
If you haven’t sought treatment, see if you can get into any eating disorder recovery groups in your area. Also, try reading the books ” A Very Hungry Girl” and “Life doesn’t Begin 5 Pounds from Now”. They give you some great insight and tools in your fight.
Good Luck
