I've been suffering from bulimia for almost 2 years now. I go home, I eat, then I go throw it up. I just don't want it all to turn into fat! :cry:
In return, I lose weight real fast, but I also get massive headaches, period pains (in which i never had before), sore throat and puffy cheeks for a while. My best friend says I'm killing myself, and I know it too. Problem is I can't stop. If I don't do it at least once a day, it makes me feel really really bad and I hate myself more.
I don't know what to do. :cry:

I had a friend that was bulimic once, and my girlfriend wanted to...well im gonna lay down the facts so...

sure throwing up will allow you to lose eight, but when you do your daily activities you use energy, and this energy is normally burned fromt eh fat that you store from eating...not eating fat results in your body durning away your muscles to be able to operate.

you dont need to be bulimic, just dont worry about it, you shouldnt hate yourself for eaeting, or feeling selfish cause someone else could be eating, just eat away and dont waste that food, if your worried, now i dont know if you are, but thats what my gf said when she mentioned being bulimic/anerexic(sp?)

i dont know if this will actaully help you at all, but just know taht if you really want to lose eight and stay healthy, just eat three regular meals a day, and stay active. Sure if you start eating now and not throwing up, it will probbably hurt for a little while, namly because you made your body used to it now. So all you gotta do is start this pattern and get your body used to this.

Big breakfeast, its important, the most important meal of the day ya know, so dont skip out, get up early and chow down!!!!

Lunch time is just as important as breakfeast time, eat plenty doesnt matter waht, just wat something delicious, but dont skip out get a big lunch!!!!!

Dinner time! its the same as any other time, chow time! Get a huge dinner, corn, potatoes, gravy, ham, some soda, or maybe a pizza, who cares just dont skip out, get a big dinner!

food = > everything!!!!!

trust me im a stick, you can go look at my pic in the photo album, i eat about 5 meals a day, and am active, dancing, singing, playing video games, playin ddr, just hanging around, its a good thing.

And if your worried about what guys thin, screw guys!(sorry men...and sorry me) who cares what they think! the inside matters! and a little 411 most guys like their ladies to have a little meat, mine gf has a little tummy and i love it! ^_^ she hates it, but i find it adorible! and ive been through all this with her too, and shes happy now! So there is no reason you cant too ya know!

well i hope this helped even a little bit

My cousin was bulimic for years. She finally told her doctor about it, who told her that studies have shown that it can be treated with anti-depressant medication. He referred her to another doctor, who evaluated her and put her on anti-depressants. She says that her bulimia was under control as soon as the meds took effect, and that she was no longer bothered by it.

I think it's worth checking out.

Im with anastar on this one, and im noramlly against pills.

but if its been bothering you for this long and you dont want to try my method or think its to hard, then go for anastars cause its a good one.

If you're bothered by bulimia, I think you should approach someone who you trust and tell him/her about it. Ideally, a friend, family member, or a professional like a doctor or a psychologist. They'll help you find out what you should do next :)

And I'd advice against pills if it's not prescribed by a doctor. (Of course, I'm not in a position to give advice. Hm.)

Sweety, bulimia is a very dangerous health risk. If you want to lose weight or maintain a healthful weight, throwing up your food is not the way to do it. :no:

Like what TidusBlankety said, it's not healthy to regurgitate food after eating. Your body needs that food for energy to burn. And of course, it needs the vitamins and minerals with the food to help your body function properly.

Try healthy eating habits:
*Three square meals a day without junky or fattening snacks. If you're in the mood for a snack, fruits are the best choice, my dear. Drink plenty of water and less sugery drinks like soda.
*Eat in moderation. This means not to eat a whole bunch of the same stuff. Consult the new food guide pyramid or a health nutritionist.
*Stay active. Plenty of excerise is good for the body. It burns the fat gathered from the recently eaten food. I'd say atlease an hour a day of exercise is best.

Remember, bulimia can cause many complications:

As well as long term health conditions...

Just know that your bulimic 'habits' must stop soon. Tell a trusted adult, your parents, a trusted friend, or a doctor. I'm sure they will help you all they can. We're all here for you as well to lend you support. :huggle:

Please take care, daydreamer198. :hug:

I think you need to think about the reason why you do this, Daydreamer. What was it that made you start doing it in the first place? Do you really want to cause harm to yourself in the way that Real Emotion has described? I think you should speak to someone you can trust about this, and get yourself some help. Remember, only you can make the first step, okay? Try speaking to your doctor about it or get yourself an appointment with a counsellor. I've seen a counsellor before about my problems, and it really did help me. Just knowing that there's someone there who won't judge you and will listen to you can help a great deal. They can also help you to get to the root of the problem and start healing youself. :huggle: Good luck, and please take care.
