My daughter was a US class competitive swimmer when she started binging--during college it got worse including full blown bulimia. I do not want to scare you, but I do want to raise your sensitivity to the fact that this can be a serious problem and you should seek absolutely the best help you can. Please be completely candid with your DR (your mom does not need to be with you) but they will no doubt need to be involved in helping you secure treatment if it is indicated. The earlier you intervene with experienced professional help the better. I am sure your condition is quite manageable but you will probably need some help. There are a variety of theories and treatments for binging/purging. The important thing now is to see some one skilled with eating disorders and stick to the program. You can always try other strategies is the first does not work, If anyone (parents or Dr.)just says "well, don't do it or stop" they do not understand and need some education. Let us know what develops fca
