I feel that right now- well, because i just ate and i feel real bloated and nothing is helping!

Answers:

I've never had an eating disorder, much less bulimia, but I've studied biology for those sorts of problems. Don't give in to the urge to purge. Inducing vomiting is very dangerous. Not only are you depriving yourself of important nutrients, the acid wears away the lining of the esophagus and the enamel of your teeth. It causes bad breath, and it really doesn't do anything for weight loss. Most of the time, bulimia only maintains a weight-- and not usually a healthy one. We're made to eat; our bodies NEED to eat. Rather than doing a binge and purge, just eat small portions. Eating in moderation is the best and healthiest way to lose or maintain weight. Although, you really do need to eat more. I'm about the same height you are, and 130-135 pounds; my weight is classified as 'healthy' for my height. You're severely underweight.

Don't let society's pressure to be thin get to you. Guys don't want to hug sticks! They like a little softness! If I've made the wrong assumption and you're a guy, well, girls don't want to hug sticks either. Either way, 'healthy' is what everyone ultimately looks for. And bulimia is not healthy in any way, shape, or form. Who wants to be with someone who's constantly throwing up and constantly smells of puke?

Get some professional help. You can overcome this! And once you do, you'll be healthier and feel better than ever!!!



Please please please go get help from a professional. I had a friend who died at 16 from an eating disorder. You need medical an professional help, and you need to do it before it's too late. Please get help!
