Is it bad?

[Chase1998]

I throw up my food sometimes and I take laxatives so I can lose weight. Is that bad?

[Stryker125]

Probably shouldn't do that...why do you feel like you have to do that to lose weight?

[therunaway]

Yeah, it's fairly bad, you don't seem like you weigh very much, & I hate being stereotypical but you never see many males doing this, if you ever need to talk, PM me, okay?

Yea not a real healthy thing to be doing. My friends older sisters had issues with the same thing. Its caused her a lot of problems. My moms a doc and the way she explained what it does was that the digestive tract is not designed to have stomach acid in it. By making yourself throw up your coating it with acid every time and that can cause ulcers and other bad stuff. It is also really bad for your teeth and give you lots of cavities cause the acid is so strong it eats away at the enamel. You look great though by the way no reason to be throwing up to lose weight. Maybe think about talking to someone and figuring out whats behind it?

Not healthy way, find other right things to do. Make it balance.

This is not good way of losing weight mate.There are so many healthy foods which are also good for losing weight.So try to maintain your diet.

It is obviously bad! You should not be doing that. With the good type of diet you can loose weight. I'm vegan for example. I can give you all the advice you want so do not hesitate in comming to me for help.
The regular practice of sport will help a lot too

It's extremely bad and harmful. I'll tell you the many things it's harmful for, doing this will make you do it more and more often, until it's a habit. A hard habit to break. Doing this can wreak havoc on your health, the acid in the puke will slowly start eating at your throw, as well as teeth. Many people who suffer through belemia for a long time can have little stumps as teeth. You MUST seek professional help. Using laxatives in general is fine, but it can get really bad if you use them when it's not needed, it also messes with the good bacteria in the gut.

It's very harmful to do that, excessive and diet are better ways to lose weight

Yes. Yes, it is bad. You could be on the road to bulimia, or worse, you're already bulimic. I know what it's like to feel satisfied after vomiting, but it's really unhealthy. You're going to burn your throat, rot your teeth, lose your hair, get flaky skin, and deprive your body from all the nutrients it should take in.

If you want to lose weight, exercise. If you're not the active type, try to control the amount of food that you eat. Don't overeat, and don't starve yourself. And always seek for positive motivation! Please don't Google those really thin models because they may not have the same body type as you do. Try to look for better inspirations. I know I sound like it's all easy, but I know it's not. Changing a certain way of thinking is a process. Don't give up! :] Hope this helps.

Dont do that, please, if you want to loose weight try to eat less fatty foods and do some exercise, its much healthier than taking laxatives or throwing up.

[Mortal Coil]

I can tell you from personal experience that those don't even work. However, they're also addictive. Look. "Bad" is an absolute, so it isn't as simple as your actions being "bad," but yes, they are harmful to your body, your weight loss efforts, your psyche, your social life... I've been there and it has RUINED MY LIFE. Please, try to stop.

I'll tell you first hand laxatives suck. I used to take like 10 a night and I'd be up ALL night screaming in pain. Eventually your whole bowel movement is screwed up and you NEED to take laxatives for the rest of your life. I regret all the damage I've done. Also laxatives only make you lose water weight which you will gain back immediately. So basically you're hurting yourself for no reason. If you need to talk or need advice talk to mee!
