From a fellow middle-aged bulimic - it's good to hear from you. Maybe we one day will find our golden ticket out of this flabby mess!
Maybe Suprex could help me, too. I will ask about it when I see my doctor. I do have a problem with overeating, and yes, mine is usually anxiety-related, too (and sometimes from boredom). But I still feel that if I am binging, and throw it up, shouldn't it be like I never ate it? I probably am still absorbing too much food. And I confess that I often don't throw up soon enough.
There are days that go by when I feel fulfilled and don't want to binge. My most difficult time is after 4:00 p.m. through 8:00 or 9:00 p.m.
