In my case, purging showed me how ingrained my femininity is in me and that I was doing myself a major injustice by denying it. I probably purged about three times over the years and disposed of some clothes that I really loved. Denial and guilt were big parts of it. I did start seeing a psychologist and she helped me get over these feelings and I have now accepted the fact that I am Lauren and I will always be. After the last purge about 6 years ago, I swore to myself that I would never do it again and I have stuck to it!
