I'm Not Really Bulimic Am I?
Posted: 03-20-07 17:30pm

Well, I'm a "beginner" if you want to call it that. I just started vomiting after every meal yesterday in order to rid the calories I consume. BUT, am I really bulimic if I vomit just like... once after a meal? How many calories am I losing with just one vomit? I'm not bulimic am I? I heard you have to binge and purge for about 3 months in order to genuinely have a disorder and get sick. I just eat my regular way (my own diet of three small meals, and strictly one snack whenever) but then I try to get rid of it afterward. So, am I in the beginning stages, or is this just some fast way to burn off calories? And I exercise just once a day- no overloading. I don't binge or eat uncontrollably. I'm really never hungry, but I have to eat something. I just want to quickly get down to about 118 lb. Any comments?

Making yourself throw up isnt healthy, I would advise you to stop while your ahead. Your body isnt made to go in reverse, when u throw up when your sick your body is trying to get rid of bad things , so forcing that daily isgonna hurt more then help. there are many side affects to making yourself vomit, also there are healthier ways to lose weight. Forced vomiting can cause stress on your digestive track and heart. So please stop now before you get sucked into a full blown eating disorder.

Tinkinpink is right, dear..
Throwing up is not a sollution... :s Stop while your can, because each day that passes by will be harder to stop. Your body isn't made to do this... :S You'll get habits, you'll hurt yourself in more ways that you even think and that you now notice.
:S
Listen to those who have been through that and that know about it.. really. Have some meeting with a dietician, play sports, walk.. That's so much better and efficient..

Please, STOP!

Yeah, thanks for your encouragement. I guess I was just stupidly playing with fire. I haven't thrown up in two days so... yeah. And it wasn't like I was freaking out about it. Thank goodness...
