How to treat bulimia?!
Question: I'm an international college freshman in the U.S. I'm from a rather image-conscious culture, and I'm always worried that I don't look slim enough. (In my culture, being slim is pretty much like being "skinny.") So I developed bulimia 1 year ago in my home, and I brought it with me to the U.S.
Right now, I'm living on campus and the food is very greasy. Every time I eat on campus, I can't help but throw up afterward. In a sense, I feel I can't take in any food. As long as I begin to eat, I'll start to binge and purge afterward. I tried not to eat for a day, but it just made me feel so weak and fatigued.
Is there any way I can treat this? This really concerns me because I'm getting really dizzy. As long as I touch food, I can't stop eating. I'm totally addicted. Probably I should have an objective view of my image and my health...
And I've found I've gained a lot of weight since living on campus, which gives me another urge to purge.
What should I do? Please help me!!!

You need to check into an eating disorder clinic. Your school will understand and help you. Talk to one of their counselors, too.
recomend, listening to comforting music on a free new ipod.................
