Hi! this is is my first time postin in this forum, I am a bit nervous, so please be gentle!
Anywho... here it goes!
I am 30 years old. I currently weigh 218lbs... High weight:323lbs, Low weight 205lbs (As an Adult)... I struggle with an eating disorder, more specifically, Bulimia Nervosa. I have been battling with an eating disorder since I was the age of 8 (Eating Disorder Otherwise Not Specified) and have been going to both pediatric (when I was a child) and an adult (who specializes in eating disorders) nutritionists on and off through out my life. Currently I see an amazing one through an outpatient nutrition clinic that only specializes and deals with individuals, male and female, children/adolescents/adults who are diagnosed and struggle with eating disorders. though they are helpful, I still cant seem to take off the pounds, despite having daily steps average about and over 13,000 a day... I also work out alot, and for the past week have been eating more food and not purging (though I still abuse laxatives)... for the past three weeks I have gained 12lbs, according to the scales at work and my discharge weight from inpatient hospitalization three weeks ago. I want to lose weight, but cant seem to do it. my nutritionist wants me to be patient, but i just keep gaining... last week I reached 224lbs and that scared me... i am now down to 218lbs...
Is there anyone here who have lost weight successfully while having a current or recovered eating disorder healthily...
oh, and i eat really healthy meals (except when I had to eat at the mall 3 days in a row, because my job, at the mall kept me longer and I had no food on me and didnt want to miss a meal or faint and get dizzy at work because i missed one)...

Welcome to the forums @hopeforthelost! I know that each story is different and I admire your determination to remain healthy despite this disorder.
From personal experience, I would recommend the following:
Keep in mind that gaining the weight took time, so losing it will take time and perseverance. Don't give up!
