ummmm your "friend" hasnt dont a lot of damage to her body but if she keeps doing it then she will have problems, i advise her to talk to a therapist

Yes, she is doing damage.

If she continues on, she will sooner or later HAVE to throw up-not because she wants to.

Her body wont be able to take in the food and nutrients, and she could end up dead.

Please, please, please tell a parent or a trusted adult. She needs help now, sooner then later.

She will need to special treatment if the Bulimia is bad.

What I mean is a needle that injects her nutrients.

Please take her to get help.

She needs to stop...as soon as she eat well, she can recover.

Hi, so far, if your friend has only been vomiting for a couple of weeks, she hasn't done too much damage to her body, but bulimia can be addictive, so even though she probably had good intentions to stop after eating a lot over the holidays it is possible that she will face the same temptation at Christmas, and then it will become easier to do eachtime after. You might tell her that bulimic people aren't always the thinnest people. Sometimes they can be average or above average weight, because it is not a healthy way to lose weight. There may be more going on in her life that is causing her to try to have control over this portion of her life. Offer to see a school counselor with her, or go to the gym and get healthy exercise instead of resorting to bulimia. She's lucky to have a friend like you.
Also, if she doesn't stop, she could wear the enamel off her teeth from the stomach acid in her mouth, also she can have an electrolyte imbalance and suffer severe symptoms--even death.

this tpic is making me queezy

not too awfully much damage, but plenty nevertheless. shes diminished the amount of nutrients to her body, causing it to disrupt its normal functions and [big word, only meaning the healthy balance of stuff] homeostasis. thats only first. plus her esophagus, larnyx and pharnyx are being damaged from bile, the stuff in puke that kinda burns.. stomach acids. not to mention the pyschological damage. she'll regret it for years to come.

Unfortunalty, its not just phyisically damanging, its psychologically damaging. She has a problem and she needs help. She can turn to her doctor for advice, they won't judge her but she needs to get the treatment. She can be facing dehydration and greater problems on the way. This is serious, you don't just start doing this and then quit it on a certin date, if it were that easy there wouldn't be people dieing from this.

My field is in fashion, as a result many people ask me how they can slim down. My answer is always the same: good diet and exercise. But I found this great product (all natural) which I think helps a lot in the process. I recommend you check this website
