I don't know if this would work for you but it did for me sometimes. Put all the laxatives and dieuretics and that in a box. Tape it shut. The next part you can do or have someone else do for you if you think that'd work better. Have a note affixed to the box for that panicked moment when you go for it. Have reasons why this is not what you want. Have reasons why this is a temporary feeling and you can handle it. Have a list of good things in your life and reasons you are special. Have a list of things you can do that can calm you down and ways to deal with the feeling. Have a list of people/places you can go for support.
I'm not saying it'll always work or that it's a perfect solution....but it can help with the impulse. It makes you think first. You have to promise yourself you'll read the note before you open the box....but it can help. And it allows you to keep your "secuirty blanket" so to speak. Because it's hard to give that stuff up. But if you give yourself a way to stop and think and it's not just impulse...you give yourself a fighting chance of overcoming the impulse.
