Reply from Holly, Age 13 - 03/12/03 - IP#: 205.251.169.xxx i am bulemic. I've been bulemic for 2 months now, maybe. I am 5'5 and currently 119 pounds. I haven't lost much from what i was originally was- 127. But, since I became active in my disorder, I always have a sore throat, I am often tired/lazy, and I don't have the energy to do anything anymore. I often feel guilty after eating, and I just can't seem to stay away from the toilet bowl. I feel if i dont throw it up i'll gain weight. Sure, losing 8 pounds was great! It made me smile at first..but now I wish I never got myself into it cause im scared to tell my friends and family, i hate to know what they would think. I want out. I'm not even overweight. What's wrong with me? Why do i strive to be smaller? I feel the need to be super small. I don't know why. Anyways, don't get yourself into bulemia. Don't make the same mistake I did!

Reply from Janet, Age 16 - 08/03/01 Don't you dare stick your fingers down your throat!!!!! My cousin is permenantly brain damaged because she did that to herself. Her teeth fell out, and she at the age of 23 has already had a heart attack. There are easier ways to lose weight. Don't do anything stupid. The acid in the vomit will errode your enamel. And as soon as you eat anything you just gain how much you lost after you had purged.
Reply from Crystal, Age 16 - 08/03/01 Hey, I used to be bulimic. And it really doesn't work all that great. I mean it's really hard to do, and your lucky if you even get half the food you ate out of your body. It's really not fun. And all the stomach acids make your mouth taste horrible. I also had rib problems for months. Sometime I couldn't move cause my ribs and I just would have to stand there crying. It hurt so bad, I'll never forget that. And gagging yourself hurts. After a while you actually get scared you'll puck up your stomach, or at least it feels like your gonna. And when you do it for a while, it's like everytime you eat you cant keep your food down..and you have to go throw it up. It's a horrible thing to get into. I dont suggest doing it. But I hope whatever you decide you be careful, Good luck.
Reply from loop, Age 15 - 08/03/01 purging is a retarded thing to do, i don't suggest it. over time it will rip holes in your esophagus, make your teeth disgusting, and you could have heart problems. And it doesn't make you 'lose weight'. The short term effects are terrible breath, severely chapped lips (from stomach acid), constant hunger, and chest pains.
