Nah man, I understand. Whenever I go on a little "purge everything that enters my mouth" diet for a few weeks straight, I also lose the ability to purge. It REALLLLLLLY sucks, and I also get pretty frustrated. Two things that I do to help me out are: 1. I take a break. (I've been following your posts so I know you already know this, but I just thought I'd let you know that it def always does the trick for me). Its always hard to transition from the freedom of binging and purging to starvation, so i try to ease myself into it. Yes, I do feel guilty having to eat things without purging them, but i always try ease my mind with comparison of situations that usually occur when going to starvation mode for a while. It's a HELL of a lot better to eat throughout the day and end with a 1000 day calorie consumption than to go the whole day without food and end on a 3000 calorie binge (which is usually what ends up happening for me hah). 2. This is a last resort, but if I'm really freaking out and can't take the heartbreak of gaining weight i turn to laxatives. I know they are bad, but I only use them in emergencies. Hope all goes well. You CAN do it :) !!!
