Suffering from bulimia

[Nata6580]

So I threw up two days ago for the first time. Basically because my mom called me fat as usual... I'm not planning on doing this again but now that it's been done I've considered it.
I'm going to try and loose 20 points and weigh 110. Currently I'm 5'5 and 128

Sorry about the rant :$

Throwing up can seriously damage your body. Doing it even just once and kill you and doing it repeatdly can cause problems with your vital organs such as your heart and heart problems are NOT fun to live with.
128lb is not overweight for your height. If you are really set on loosing a bit of weight, not too much though, try doing it through diet and excercise. Any other way and your damaging your body.
Feel free to contact me if you want to talk :)

↑ exactly what Fiction said.

128lbs for your height is perfectly normal and if your mother persists in calling you 'fat' then tell her she's talking rubbish.

I wouldn't recommend you lose any more weight and certainly don't get temped by thinking you want to throw up all the time - once you get into habits like this (throwing up when you feel 'fat') the sooner it becomes less of a habit and more of a lifestyle - when you can't just stop when you want to and that is a very dangerous situation to be in.

If you feel 'fat' within yourself, I would recommend a healthy diet and exercise, like Fiction said. This will tone your body rather than neglect it, which is likely to make you healthier and generally feeling a lot better and more confident about your body.

Hope this helps and good luck!

As Fact said, this can so easily become a lifestyle. You'll get to the point where you're doing this all the time. Not just at home but in public toilets too. You'll wish you can eat what you want without feeling guilty but you can't. You probably won't beleive that will happen to you, you'll think you can control it and stop when you want, but you've taken the first step to developing an ED why wouldn't the rest happen too? Basically you need to stop now while it's still easy. Good luck.

I don't mean to intrude, but I was just looking around and stumbled on to this and sorry for putting my two cents in, but they are right...it does become a lifestyle-I should know, and once you are caught in the vicious cycle it makes it difficult to stop. I've been a bulimic for four years now and it really does take a toll on your whole body. Are you sure you are ready for that?

I second this.

I started to binge and purge food when I was 12. I thought to myself "oh I'll stop until I've lost the weight I want to lose". It doesn't work like that. It takes over your life forever, and it is honestly so hard to get out of. I am now 17 and I now still struggle to resist it. I'm doing a hell of a lot better now, no doubt - but trust me, it's definitely not fucking easy. People think "I promise I won't do this forever", but sorry, they're only fooling themselves.

I've put my life at risk with bulimia. I know I've fucked up my physical health, but more importantly my mental health as well. It's a vicious cycle that you may have to live with for the rest of your life if you don't sort it out before it's too late.

This. I'm not bulimic but i am anorexic and i suppose i have bulimic tendencies occasianlly. As Marcie said you think you'lll stop but it really is so much harder than that.
