[ShatteredWings]

i'm sorry if this is a bit rude, but i do not undersand how&why someone would make themselves throw up:confused:


yea., im sure this is stupid, but i want to know

thanks

Well, how - there's a method to do it so it doesn't hurt - I don't really like the idea of throwing up so I've never tried.
And, why - because they fear that taking in more calories is just going to make 'em get bigger, therefore taking in no calories is gonna help 'em get smaller. Throwing up is just so that the body doesn't have time to digest the food properly - making their calorie intake 0.

***I don't know how much is scientifically proven, but I believe those are the thoughts when throwing up is involved****

I did it because I was in a mental state that everytime I looked at myself I thought I was so fat that it disgusted me and I threw up.

it becomes your best friend. after a while it's such a routine it doesn't phase you. but when your mind is constantly on food, and how fat you are, and "just 5 more pounds thats it", but you are controlled by it and need it, but you don't want to gain another pound because it's disgusting, and the feeling of food inside your stomache absolutely disgusts you, i guess it's pretty easy and you don't mind it. and when you starve youself all day , grow proud, and then binge and call yourself cow, fat, and obscenity's when you break it you tend to feel disgusting and need to rid it. for me it's all about that and control. i can put it in, and i can take it out.. but if there is anyone else suffering with this, you can't deny the satisfaction when you look in the mirror, blow your nose and wipe your eyes and smooth down your hair, and everything is gone, and you're in control. it's such an intense rush. i can never get enough.

It incorporates itself to your routines after a while. It's like a safety catch.
