yes, sadly you are bulimic. any form of binging or purging to result in weight loss is bulimia. Before seeking professional help you should take a long look in the mirror and realize that making yourself sick may possibly make you thinner but it is detiorating your inner health. Stay on the right track with your weight loss. I too was bulimic and anorexic at the same time!! i over came it, and you can too!!

Yes, You ARE bulimic!

Yes....throwing up after you eat is not normal in any way....you are bulimic....it's extremely bad for your throat, your teeth, your body, your stomach, etc to do that.....just don't eat so much and then you won't need to purge.....

I would have to say yes.

Yes, you are bulimic. I've had a weight problem most of my life, but at 47 years old, I have NEVER made myself throw up. The fact that you are currently doing so means you have bulimia. It's not like alcoholism, where you have to drink a lot to become an alcoholic.

You seem to have a lot of excuses and rationalizations for this behavior. You should get medical help before you permanently damage your health. Just remember, you can mess up your teeth, your stomach or esophagus, your heart, and probably a few other things. Just get some help, please.

Yep, you got it. The good thing is that is cureable with work on your own, but preferably with a group or counselor. Judging from how much you binge, it's true bulimia.

Listen, I had so many obsessive thoughts about my weight, but I could never manage to throw up. People that do, they are bulimic. Hands down.

Good luck.
