I've been aware of my image since 11, but
i started to throw up after eating when i
was 13 near 14, i'm now 17 and i have
never met anyone who is in the same
situation or feel the same way
i was never a fat person, and i know that,
my friends told me that i'm not fat
either, but then i've always like the
feeling of empty stomach and i just feel
very bad whenever i eat something
and now whenever i ate, i would just go to
the restroom and purge, i got so use to it
that i can't even stop, i didn't loss too
much weight to be noticed but then im
really confused.

you should probably talk to someone and
get help for this..it sounds like you have
just gotten so used to throwing up that
you have an over active gag reflex now and
can throw up whenever, this sometimes can
happen when you do this for a long period
of time...get some help for this, it isn't
a healthy habit..dont be afraid to talk to
someone that can help you

Don't be afarid to ask for help. You may
fear people judging you, but if you talk
to a professonial, there is nothing to
fear, they are trained to deal with such
things and not to judge. You're not the
only person who has ever delt with this,
and if you talk to a therapist they
understand this and may be able to offer
you help. There are many different ways of
doing this: Talk to someone you REALLY
trust and feel comfortable with, try to
talk to your parents and explain that
you'd like to see a therapist for some
help, talk to a counceler at school, or
some cities/towns have local "help"
numbers that you may be able to use. It
may be hard to do, but if you feel in your
heart that there is a problem, then you
are right. It may be hard to talk to your
parents, but most parents love and care
about their children and want to help them
in any way possible. Give it a try. =)

i agree with lil scorpio
its good that you're not denying that you
do have a problem with this..admitting it
is the first step..now you should seek
help so you can get through this...anyone
that cares about you will not shame you
for this..they will want to do anything
they can to help you

hi Posted: 08-05-08 14:35pm
I am the same age as you and i understand
how confusing this all is. I hated the
feeling of a full stomach and felt
incredibly guilty after food. However you
need help. Even eating one "good" thing
that you don't feel the need to purge such
as an apple or pasta is a good first step.
Do this everyday. Bulimia doesn't make you
loose weight it makes you ill. Remember
that slwoly changing your habits will help
you greatly.
