I'm New Here,i'm Bulimic,and I Need Help
Posted: 09-29-04 21:41pm

I'm glad I found a forum relating to eating disorders.Anyway i'm 17 and i'm 140 lbs 5'5.I first discovered self induced vomiting when I was 13 and I would do it whenever I ate something I didn't like,it wasn't much of a problem back then but this summer it really got to me.Usually whenever i'm watching tv I see something that makes me want to eat and I head onto the kitchen and cosume anything knowing that i'm gonna be vomitting later on.Awhile ago I thought I would puke my lungs out because I got 3 slices of bread with cream cheese,2 muffins,and some crackers.It's more of a mental problem because i'm not really hungry.Afterwards,i get major headaches,my intestines hurt,and so do my teeth.It's really gotten serious now and my mom knows what I do and she just says"keep doing that and you'll see what's gonna happen to you",that just makes me want to destroy myself even more.After tonight's experience I don't see myself vomitting anymore after doing it frequently for the past 3 months,but then again that's what I always tell myself but I somehow keep doing it.I'd really appreciate it if you guys would give me some sort of advice to help me fight this problem of mine.

Hey hun
wow your mom really said that.... Dont you listen 2 her.. Even though she has a point.. U dont need a negative person in your life... You have to talk 2 a friend... Talk 2 a doctor a teacher or someone at skool... Someone who will helpp you... Really hun you need help...If you really want to stop... Show your mom that you did this all on your own... Show her that your strong and dont need her support ... Show her that your stronger than she thinks you are... Use that as a stepping block to getting better... Smile I no you can do it... You jsut need to talk 2 someone.... Me.. I talked 2 my best friends... Try the same... See if it helps... But get professional help... Really hun... Get it
keep in touch pleasee

i totally understand how you felt...And isn't it frustrating to hear what your mom said? I mean that's why I dont' want to tell her, cuz i'm afraid that she'd say sth like that to me.....Hang in there, girl.....For me, i've been trying to gather more information online..Find out more about bulimia...Read more other people's stories...Sometimes those stories really make you think and help you in some ways.....

Hey, im also new to this site. I have the same problem and I know where u are coming from except my situation is a little different. Im 16, vietnames, and im a guy. I weigh 140-142. And I started vomitting back in oct 2004. It all started summer 2004 when I tried to lose fat. Im an athlete and I was never overwiehgt. I am pretty strong for someone my age and wieght. (im 5'8" 140 and bench 225-230) but I was trying to get "cut" so I could see my 6 pack. I achieved my goal around late july and since then I started to eat less and less and watch what I ate more closely. I got wrong information about maintaing weight, calories, protein, and all that stuff. I began to starve myself untill I vomitted for the first time. Then I would starve myseklf and vomit around 1 time a week after a binge. Now I vomit about 4-5 timees a week and each episode usually follows a 2000 calorie binge with an hour in the restroom. I tell myself it is the last time each time and I promise I will eat normal again, but then I try to starve myself again and it results in another binge the next day or even the same day.

My parents are supportive and it bugs the hell out of me. I wish they nver found out.The shame I feel when I think of all the pain I have caused them is unbearable.I hate myself for it.Get yourself better.Prove to your mam that you can do it.You're a wonderful person-never doubt that. 8)

MY MOM SAID THAT SAME THING... its just fusterating because she knows and she thinks its on you to change and as much as i dont want her help i just cant understand why shes not helping me. i know you posted this along time ago but i just read it and seriously when you read it i had to look at the user name because i questioned if it was actually me(even though it couldnt have been becuase i have never posted here before now)

did you get help? i dont know what to do..... if you ever see this can you tell me how things went?
