Hi, everybody. I am bulimic and I don't
think I want to stop (i've only done it
for abt 4 months this time around) but
then again, I kind of do.
It is soooo frustrating!!
So what now?

Are you throwing up your food? I can't
imagine doing something like that. If
you don't want to gain weight, why don't
you eat your food near a disposal; chew up
the food and really enjoy it and then spit
it out? You don't have to throw up
because that's very hard on the body and
it causes electrolyte imbalances.
It's probably the reason you are
emotionally upset. You won't have any
side effects from spitting it out in the
sink instead of swallowing it all.
Then you can control exactly how much goes
into your stomach.

I Can't Posted: 06-26-04 23:27pm
I do that sometimes but it's really hard
to do. Besides, I like to throw up my
food. It gives me a kind-of high. But
abt 30 minutes later, I feel really weepy
and awful. Besides, I am a pig, and pigs
stuff themselves and can't help it.

It is really up to you whether you
continue to pay for lyiing or not. It is
also up to you whether you take positive
or negative action. so which is it to
be
you can lie to others even maybe to
yourself but let's get one thing straight,
people who are healthy(physica;;y &
emotionally, do not do or say this:-
"i'm not sure I want to stop anyway. And
I am physically 100% healthy. But I do
this 1-3 times per day now." or this
"besides, I am a pig, and pigs stuff
themselves and can't help it."
if you are truly a pig you can make a
fortune as pigs can't generally use
computers!! You were born human not a pig
so use your mind & decide whether you
want a real life or not & whether you
want to actually do something about it or
not??
Much of what you said is true about people
not having a clue about eating disorders
& about people telling you you're fine
instead of asking, but I really doubt that
they could fire you for lying to one
person especially f you told your boss in
order to get the time off to see this
psychiatrist

First off dont listen to merrymix..You,
merrymix sound very ignorant. Dont sit
there and try to pretend like one form of
an eating disorder is any better then the
other. Spitting/chewing is just as
dangerous believe it or not! You just
keep even less food in your system......
Anyhow, there is no way you can be
physically 100% healthy if your bulimic
whether u believe it or not. Even if u
'feel' healthy. Throwing up can and will
do damage period. I know, from
experience. Ive had an eating disorder
for 2 yrs and been bulimic for a year and
a half. Im 18. Im also 36 1/2 weeks
pregnant, therefore ive been trying to
completely recover. I have improved so
much but still see my eating therapist. I
purge now about 2-3 times a week.
Anyhow.. U cant stop until you want to.
And I pray u will want to soon. The
sooner u try to quit, the better. . Soon
you wil become trapped, even if uthink you
wont, it happens. When I was only bulimic
for 4 months I didnt want to stop too bad
yet either. .But now I regret not
stopping while I still could. It only
gets worse eventually. At my worst I was
doing it 5-6 times per day. . And you
want help you say, but u cant expect
people to know unles u show them..And if u
lie, they have no reason not to believe
you. Its hard I know, but u gotta come
clean to them if u want their help. And
if u feel like staying with bulimia will
keep you thin, thats not true either., at
first, and for a while u probably will
lose quite a bit of weight. But as with
any eating disorder, it messes up ur
metabolism badly.. And the longer u live
with it, the worse and slower ur
metabolism will work.. Anyhow.. Goodluck
and I hope u make the right choice and
choose to try to recover and live free of
an eating disorder. Ure worth more then
calories~goodluck!
