Am I bullimic?!
Question: Am I bullimic!?
Eversince i was on this dance team I lost weight ate healthy and made friends well at least I thought!. Its over and I am a healthier me yet i am going back to my old habits because this guy insulted the way I dressed!. So I don't plan on trying out again due to my very low self- worth but I don't want to gain that weight back again!. So last week my family and I ate fast food and I would eat alot and if I felt I had too much to eat I would go to my bathroom and throw some of it up!. Then I would eat some more when I'm hungry and throw it up!. i tell myself that I don't want to be overweight again and that motivates me to vomit!. I don't excercise unless walking counts but all i know is that I eat as fast as I can and throw it up before it digests!. i did this last december twice and i haven't done it this week, I try to restrain myself but everytime I go to the restroom I think about doing it and i'n doing good so far bcuz i was so tempted to do it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It sounds like you're new to this, so maybe you have this in your head all wrong!. Do you know what bulimia does to you!? Want to know what it did to ME!?
Let's see - No matter how thin you get, you NEVER see it, first off!. Your teeth start to rot and your hair falls out a little bit!. I started having seizures because of my electrolyte imbalance!. I took so much caffeine and amphetamine that now that it's all "over" I cannot even have a soda with caffeine in it because it makes me feel very bad!. I got mean!. I alienated my friends and pushed people away and started to skip school to binge and purge and stare in the mirror and just HATE everything about myself!. Now that I'm "recovered" I'm fatter than I ever was before the bulimia and it's difficult to lose weight because I learned to eat large amounts of things when I was purging, and if I start to eat too little I get back into anorexic habits and I cannot do that either!. My heart still beats really fast all of the time!. Now I have acid reflux and I'll never get that enamel back on my teeth!. And what was it all for!? Nothing!. It was for absolutely not one damn thing!.
Why would you want anything to do with the world!? I know that you don't, and that's why you came here!. Just try to remember all of this!. I know that for me when the bulimia started I was so innocent and naive and I thought that even though for SOME OF "THOSE PEOPLE" it was a "problem" that for me it was a really great idea!. Then slowly I realized that I was one of "those people" and I just wanted out!.
Take care of yourself because it's a scary, scary thing to experience and it's not worth it!. You're beautiful!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Bulimia is a vicious disease that I struggled with for 5 years!. Cut it off now, and every time you finish eating, say a prayer of thanks and think about all of the people who are hungry right now!.
If you can't control your urges, please see someone ASAP, and tell your loved ones about your problem!. Ask them to help you keep it down!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm not going to "diagnose" you, but it really sounds like you should talk to a professional about this!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You are bulimic!. Just try to exercise and stop!. Or get some professional help!. It sounds like you definitely need it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Yes!. You are on early stages!. STOP NOW and do it the healthy way!Www@Answer-Health@Com
It's good that you are realizing that you have a problem before it gets really bad!. You need some help, dear!. My advice is tell your mom and ask to go to counselling!. Bulimia, by the way, really doesn't help people lose weight, and it can cause you to have a heart attack and die, not to mention it can cause permanent, scarring damage to your esophagus and throat!. I'm sure there is a lot more damage it can do that I don't know about as well!. There are some really good books that can teach you the steps needed to learn to love and respect your body and treat it properly, without obsessing over food and weight!. "Hunger Pains," by Mary Pipher is a great book for young women, as well as her book "Reviving Ophelia!." Please love and take care of yourself and stop doing this!. Good luck and God bless!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Yes it does sound like you are developing an eating disorder!. You said you dont want to gain the wt back but didnt say if you were over-wt or normal wt before so its hard to know if you do actually need to put some wt back on!. If you are underwt that is the reason you are starting to eat alot of food in a short space of time because your body is starving and when it sees its getting food it wants it all because it doesnt know when it will next get some which is why regular eating is very important!.
The diagnosis guidelines for bulimia are as follows-
Characterised by the presence of binge eating,
Using compensatory behaviour
Average of binge-purge episodes at least twice a week for 3 months,
Person normally within healthy wt range
Fear of getting fat
As a sufferer of an eating disorder myself I know that getting through it without help is extremely difficult!.
I recommend firstly going to see your doctor and getting a full blood count because when you are vomiting it leaves you dehydrated and can severely put out electrolyte balances!. This can be very dangerous and there are devastating long term consequences!. Bulimia can kill!. I don't mean to scare you or sound harsh but I feel it is important you know the damage you are doing to your body!. A psychologist can help you with your body image issues and treat underlying causes and your low self esteem!.
It may also help to see a dietician and get a recomended meal plan for your age and height!. They can help you to feel better about putting the right foods in your body and reducing urges to overeat!.
( The only way to reduce binge urges is to eat regularly!. It doesnt have to be huge quantities just enough to sustain you to the next meal)
If it becomes apparent that it is too hard to stop the behaviour another alternative is hospital- which believe me is not very pleasant and all control is taken away where food is concerned!.
I hope this helps give you a bit more insight into your question and I really encourage you to please seek out some help- you do'nt need to feel ashamed or embarrassed!. Eating disorders are very prevalent in todays society and there are alot of specialists in the field to help people like you!. Good luck:)
