This is what therapy is about -- helping you find out why you eat when you're not hungry, which is very common, and finding ways not to do it. And certainly not to throw up.
But there's more -- with all your ranting about being fat and not wanting to be fat, you haven't said anything about the whys. What does fat mean to you, that makes it such a bad thing? What does it mean to you not to weigh 95#? And why is that number special to you?
Deneb, I hope you will get adequate treatment. Every few weeks in not nearly enough, and if you're finding new symptoms to be bothered by, then you're just showing again how inadequate it is for you. You NEED more intensive therapy, so that you can stop these things.
And the therapy for this will be more about how to stop this from affecting you so much, and less with how to lose the weight.
By the way, your post did trigger my own "I can't stand being this fat" issues. I'm not writing to you about something I don't know from the inside. I did weigh 95# until about a year ago, and I am not adjusting at all well to my current weight. What's more, no matter how little I eat these days, I can't lose weight. I'm suffering, I'm sure all the people here on this board are suffering, too. Please don't feel that you have to develop a full blown eating disorder to get attention. You've got enough going on without it, and you'd be surprised how rapidly it becomes a real problem.
