im a struggling anorexic and bulimic
yes, it does hurt- the first few times i threw up, i cried afterwords
it makes you cry because gagging always makes you tear up, and then i felt so ashamed i just cried even more
yes, your throat has a DISGUSTING taste afterwords, plus you have to look at your barf in the toilet before flushing, and trust me that is not a pretty sight
no, it is not effective- purging only rids your body of about 10% of the calories, so if you had a 400 calorie meal then it would only have rid your body of 40 calories- trust me, esophogeal cancer and tooth decay (as well as HORRIBLE breath, even if you brush your teeth a lot) is not worth it; plus, you could burn 40 calories and not pernamently damage your body by running for a few minutes or something else
yes, it is addictive- even though you feel ashamed about doing it, you start to do it more and more; i remember the first time i purged, i promised myself i would never do it again- i did not keep that promise
please please get help
once you start you can't stop
40 calories isn't worth it
my eating disorder has ruined my life
i can not be in a relationship with a guy anymore, i have attempted suicide several times, i come home crying everyday and lay on my bathroom floor because i feel so low and alone, as well as the hospitalizations (they make you gain even more weight than you lost- its horrible)
i cant look at myself anymore, i can't count how many mirrors i have thrown stuff at just so i don't have to look at myself
i beg you, please do not get sucked into this
please tell a doctor or counselor, and if you don't want to do that, tell one of your parents or family members or another trusted adult
if not, tell a friend, and if you don't want to do that, there are some amazing books out there as well as online resources (try somethingfishy.com as well as remudaranch.com, which has a link to a really good site that i can't remember the name of right now)
best of luck and i hope that you are stronger than me to get through this!
p.s. thought i would share what i have to get done in the next month because of my struggle with bulimia- i have to get major abdominal surgery done to fix the ulcers in my stomach and throat, repair a hole in my esophagus, and they have to do something to prevent my stomach from rupturing because it was on the verge of doing so (which would have killed me)
oh, and they have to check my esophagus and stomach for cancer cells too
It is very addictive and I highly recommend you not do that.
Why do you wanna do that.
Seek help and fast!
It is really bad for you because your burning your throat away and rotting away your teeth.
It is highly addictive, it can rot your teeth, cause heart probs, damage your espohogus and stomach lining. Just to name a few, not to mention the toll it will take on your life, family and friends
DO NOT DO THAT TO YOURSELF! THAT IS TERRIBLE!!
First, it doesn't matter how old you are. This is just a stupid idea. Don't take it that I'm being mean, but you will never be happy with yourself as long as you feel the need for such destructive acts.
Assuming you definitely know what purging means...why would want to do that?! It's horrible! Do you think you're fat? You need to talk to your parents and get some counseling. That is NOT the way to lose weight. You could die. I'm serious. So all of your questions don't really matter, you should be asking: Could I get seriously ill from doing this and die? The answer: yes.
Whether your a child teen adult even baby, it doesnt matter. You shouldnt do that. I really dont have anything else to say except for it can kill you, but i guess i could fill your questionaire lol.
1. Yes it hurts! Its like having your stomache pumped for breakfast lunch and dinner!
2. You will always taste stomache acid. Mmm. Yummy.
3. No it is not effective as you will still be hungry, won't lose wait, and will become very ill.
4. Yes it is very addictive, this is what leads people to heart problems, breathing problems, hair loss many kinds of ailments.
5. Girls were known to use their finger. can you imagine? shoving that down your throat 15 times just so you could eat again in an hour?
Start a vegetarian diet, and drink water.
1-it could
2-most likely
3-it can be
4-yes
5-i don't do it, but the cons most definitely out weigh the the pros, and the acid from your vomit will cause your teeth to rot and bed teeth is much worse than a few pounds. try to exercise and/or diet, it's much healthier and you won't regret it later..and good teeth are always a necessity =]
It hurts.
your throat burns from the stomach acid being barfed up.
Your eyes feel like they are going to come out of your head.
You look like you've been crying.
You may pass out from the heaving especially if you dont have enough stomach contents to spew.
You forget your teeth are in the way when you have to quickly pull your hand out of your throat from heaving. If you have sharp teeth, you'll have cuts on your knuckles.
You'll be lucky if someone doesnt figure out you have a problem within the first week.
You cant account for every barf piece but your mother will be able to.
Cleanliness is the last thing on your mind. Its tiring.
What do you use to do it? You have to shove your fingers down your throat to enact the gag reflex which will send upchuck through your mouth. Sickening and smelly in some cases. Very messy.
OK I USEDTO DO IT SO LISTEN.
1.NO IT DOESNT PHYSICALLY HURT IT IS JUST UNCOMFORTABLE.
2.YES YOU DO GET THE AFTERTASTE.
3.YES IT IS EFFECTIVE BUT NOT THE RIGHT WAY TO LOSE WIEGHT.
4.IT CAN BE ADDICTIVE YES
5.I WOULD JUST WET MY FINGER N STUCK IT IN THE BACK OF MY THROAT.
BUUUUUT: I RUINED MY TEETH AND BODY BY DOING IT. I ONLY DID IT FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS, YA I LOST WEIGHT. BUT I ROTTED MY FRONT 4 TEETH FROM THE STOMACH ACID. I WOULD BRUSH AND USE LISTERINE EVERY TIME AFTER AND IT STILL RUINED MY TEETH. I HAD TO GET THEM CROWNED.
ALSO I RUINED MY ESOPHAGUS. I NOW HAVE A PERMANENT ACID REFLUX.
MY ADVICE, DONT DO IT. JUST CUT BACK ON WHAT YOU EAT. YOU MAY NOT BE A KID BUT YOU ARE STILL TOO YOUNG TO RUIN YOUR BODY YOU HAVE TO LIVE WITH FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
purrging is not good i used to it is all the things you listed but also it can mess up your insides i got really sick
Don't do it! It causes horrible problems in the future!
1.) it hurts your body
2.) Of course it has a nasty after taste...its puke!
3.) effective at making you sick
4.) yes
5.) Just dont do it! Talk to your mom or somebody you trust about how your feeling
You NEED to be scared..you're about to ruin your life.
Go.to.a.doctor NOW.and get some help!
I am a male anorexic. I have not recovered but I have lately quit purging.
1. It doesn't help much.
2. It hurts.
3. You'll start binging and that will cause you to eat more. Since you don't lose much purging, you end up gaining.
4. Ruins your teeth.
5. Swells your face. I'm a model and it makes pictures look like **** if your face is bloated.
6. Mood swings.
7. Electrolyte imbalances.
8. Smelly clothes and hands.
9. Family/freind suspicion and paranoia.
10. I hope 9 reasons were enough.
