I didn't know that was common, I feel sorta better about myself now, sorry that it's at your mother's expense though Traci, and yeah, but I feel sorta alone seeing as the only other person in my family who had an eating disorder was my aunt.

I wouldn't say you're alone, I basically did what you do when I was diagnosed with an EDNOS, that was before I started purging, I would only binge eat and starve to counteract, and that's actually how mine started out and it stayed that way for I'd say around 5 years, but after that, I picked up purging via laxatives, then 2 years later, I began purging the other way, and became classified as Bulimic (purging type). So in other words, no you are not alone, mine just developed further because of times when I let my ED run over my sense of control and what I found gross and not, I still think it's disgusting honestly, I wish I had never started.
