when do you start noticing?

[tay_tay]

when you are bulimic,
how long before people start noticing.
in other words when do you start looking sick/ill?

[thesphinx]

It depends how extreme of a bulimic you are.

[tay_tay]

okay.
say you vomit 2-4 times a week.

[Kaleidoscope Eyes]

If you're asking because you are bulimic, don't wait for it to get that bad. You need to stop NOW, because it's only going to get harder to stop if you go on like this.

[tay_tay]

no i am not asking because i am bulimic.
i am asking just because i want to know.

[thesphinx]

Well it really just depends on the person I guess, but lets just say if it gets to the point where people notice you need help Immediately!

[Techno Monster]

^Agreed I know somebody who did it for 3 weeks until we noticed.

[Kaleidoscope Eyes]

It depends on how much the person weighs, how active they are, how much they're actually eating, how good they are at covering themselves up... It varies so much from person to person, it's really hard to say.

[brokenfaerie]

yeah and its not uncommon for bulimics to actually gain more weight than they started with.

[VCSCjosie]

well, i was bulimic for 3 years and anorexic for 4 so it really depends on how much you purge and how much you excercise, ohh and what you eat.
if you throw-up at most 5 times a day for 4 weeks then yes people will notice your skin color fades and you look sick. trust me, but truely it depends on what you eat and purge...how much and how oyu excercise.
so it just all depends. ps. everybody if different so they mihgt not look all the same if you have more than one friend that is bulimic.

jope that helps.
