I Cannot Self Induce Anymore. Why Not? Posted: 08-07-03 13:52pm
This seems like a weird post, but I am not
really bullimic I just started inducing
myself to vomit about two weeks ago. So I
don't believe I am full fledge lol
bullimic yet. I keep trying to make my
self vomit voluntarily not because I am
over weight because I am supposedly my
ideal weight for my height. I dont
really know why I am doing this but I
don't want to stop I am just upset that I
physically cant do it. I believe my gag
reflex is gone or not working any longer.
Lol does that make sense?
Anyway I just wanted to vent and maybe get
suggestions on how to. Lol no one else
knows about this so I thought this would
be a good way to talk to someone else.
Thx

Can't Induce Anymore Posted: 08-07-03 14:41pm
I feel very bad for you and believe you
should tell your doctor about this
problem. Eating disorders are very
serious and all you are doing is harming
yourself and are decresing your lifespan.
Throwing up eats the linning in your
esophogus so, you will start to deterorate
it which is not good and also will give
you bad heartburn I am sure. You are
also disrupting your digestive system and
the way it works. Confusing it. The
stomach lining is going to deteriorate as
well soon from throwing up. What you
should do is get food poisining and then
you will end up hating throwing up-that
may cure you. Or go to a hospital so you
can see all the people with this disorder
and see how horible thier lives are an
dhow alone they are. Not to mention how
gross they look. No man or women is
going to want to date or marry a person
that throws up all the time. It is not
very attractive. Good luck and please do
not add to the numbers of eating disorders
we have in america.

I will definitely not give you ways to
make yourself vomit. I am a recovering
bulimic and I dont think you understand
the risks of it. My teeth are permanently
damaged, as is my throat and my stomach.
All because of the acids associated with
throwing up. You do not want to start
this. Stop it while you can.
Your body is ridding itself of important
electrolytes which help with your heart
and other organs. If for example your
potassium is too low you can go into
caridac arrest immediately and die on the
spot.
Also vomiting does not make you lose
weight. It rids yourself of the food but
the nutrients and fats in the food have
already been absorbed into your body so
vomiting really does little. You could
burn more calories walking across the room
than vomiting.

Well first of all. I am glad u cannot
self induce anymore!! And why all of the
lol's??" this really isnt a funny
subject.. . U do not understand what
u are getting into no matter what u think.
I am in recovery right now. .Bulimia
is hell.. It is a disease! It makes ur
life hell. . You think u will lose
weight from it? Well u wont. .Bulimia
actually slows down your metabolism and
makes u gain weight. .Not lose it..
And u will have heart problems.. Bad
teeth. .The list goes on. U wanna be
healthy, look good? Dont ever eat below
1,500 cals. .And dont ever purge. I
just dont get how in the world u are
asking for how to vomit your food.. And
laughing about this.. U cant understand
what hell an e/d is........ I'm sorry if
u feel ganged up on right now. .But
sometimes the truth hurts... And it hurts
me to see anyone who is ''trying'' to
introduce this world of pain and agony to
themselves..

I so agree with the above posts what do
you think you're doing much less laughing
a couple of other affects are osteoporosis
(bones of an old woman in your 20's &
they break very easily!!) inability to
have a child, stunted growth, kidney,
liver & other organ damage &/or
failure. Decreasein ability to think,
work, study, loss of friends because they
can't stand to see what you're doing to
yourself & they being around you is
too painful.
Is this what you want for yourself?? Grow
up, go to a dr & get help. Look for
eating disorder support groups & talk
to those close to you who can help you get
better, if you want to because the bottom
line is that whether you live or die is up
to you & what choice you make.

Umm razorblade.... U really dont!! U
obviously dont know too much about it.
.Bulimia is when you binge and purge also
wether u start out bingeing or not, at
first u will lose some weight probably,
but after each time, your body begins to
absorb the calories faster and faster so
when you purge, udont end up ridding
yourself of many calories.. Also when
your bulimic, you end up doing it more
then once a day most likely and your body
ends up storing calories sooo much easier
and faster and as your binges get bigger,
so do you. We dont choose to keep doing
it, its a disease. Many of us, like
myself, want to stop but its damn hard! U
can lose weight for a while, but u will
get trapped, and after a while u cant lose
weight that way anymore.

The symptoms you display are those of an
eating disorder. What u are doing
suggests that u may be in the primary
stage of an eating disorder. However this
behaviuor is often done for a reason.
Perhaps upset or anguish, its often done
to counteract or disguise an emotion or an
experience that u are tryin to escape.
So far the responses appear to have
focused on the action rather than the
cause. Afterall why do u need to make
ureself sick? What is it actually
achieving-momentry relief?-if so relief
from what? I no its easier sed than dun,
but get away from this negative behaviour
now, I have been a slave to my eating
disorder for to long- yeah great I can
admit this- but I no I have just hit the
thick of it- ive missed out the most
important years of my teens and lost a lot
of friends, its a self distructive
behaviour and a cycle hard to escape.
Please dont listen to any of the peoples
advice, please seek professional advice,
who can give u the best support ever- u
dont no who we are and some of us may
manipulate u-perhaps I should say feel
free to listen to advice, but dont mistake
our opinions for a safe constructive way
out- I no im probably wafflin-but eating
disorders are a serioulsy scary spiral!

No, you don't lose weight from purging
right away.
If you eat normal amounts of food and then
just puke it up, yes, you will eventually
lose a lot of weight.
However, if you binge and then purge, you
really probably wont.
Plus, when your body isn't getting the
calories it needs it goes into starvation
mode so everything you do eat and actually
digest your body will store. This also
makes it harder to lose weight.
Bullimia will kill you eventually one way
or another. Stop this in the beginning
stages as it will be very very hard, if
not impossible to stop later on.

But arent we forgettting taht ultimately
an eating disorder is not about wieght
loss rather a way to transfer or control
an emotion, therefore weightloss is just a
symptom of an eating disorder

I just have to say that for the not eating
below 1,500 calories instruction from
karim18, I am considered healthy and I eat
about a 1000, maybe a little over, most
days. Yeah, I might consume about 1500 or
more sometimes, but it usually doesn't get
that high. It depends upon various
factors as to how much you should consume.
A small thing, but you made it sound like
someone would be stricken dead if they
didn't get 1500 calories one day.
this seems like a weird
post, but I am not really bullimic I just
started inducing myself to vomit about two
weeks ago. So I don't believe I am full
fledge lol bullimic yet. I keep trying
to make my self vomit voluntarily not

the same question came to my mind
before...I mean I can understand where all
other people are coming from....They want
to help you..Want you to stop doing things
that's harmful to your health...I mean we
all know that it's not good..But it's just
not something that you can stop like
that.... I'm new here, I thought this is
the place where we can talk about
everything..And not being judged by
that....I mean I don't want to be judged
because of what I ask or say....We need
some support here...My friends~~ (no
offence intended)..It's just how I felt...

extreme ways. Ive started something
horrible. Please baby dont do that to
yourself. If you ever need to talk to
anyone, please message me. Stay strong.
It will be ok!

Kayla is right. Please get help and stop
before it gets too deep or too late. Now
it's easier to stop and to be ok, really,
I can say it for myself...
