Hey guys. Um, I weigh like 230, but I believe I'm bulimic. I know it sounds weird, ya know, skinny people have eating disorders. I binge eat, then I throw up in the toilet, or if it's dinner time and my parents are home, in this plastic container in my closet. i empty out the container once a week at 2 in the morning. after i throw up i wont eat for like 3 days. i just recently started losing weight off it, so i dont want to stop. is any one else in my situation?

There are several health complications that come with your disorder... and there are many clinics that can help you get over your disorder and also help you lose weight. This sounds serious and you need to love yourself and you body more. I'm sure your a beautiful young lady, so dont destroy that will poor health. One of my best friends went through the same problem and the best thing she ever did, no matter how hard it was, was to tell her parents and get help.
Reply from lisa, Age 15 - 03/24/05 - IP#: 70.57.237.xxx yes well sort of. My eating disorder started when i was 13 1/2 in September/October 2003. All my life since i was five actually i had been a little chubby and was encouged to stop snacking so much and exerise and lose weight or at least not gain anymore and then my height might catch up. Well with my dad moving away and my mom out playing with someone elses toy (having an affair) i was alone and the thing i thought of was to not eat. i don't know why it wasn't eat more or cut or whatever but that is what i choosed and it wasn't like i said one day i was going to not eat, it just kind of happened. Probably because even a doctor said i was fat and should lose (this is what she said) "you should lose at least 5 pounds but you could stand to lose even more" by the way i was 5' 4" 155 pounds and if i grew about two more inches i wouldn't have been overweight, i think. Anyway fast forward to july 2004 and you find me hating to starve yet i was so afraid of gaining weight i decided to try and throw up. I had been for a while after pigging out and managed once, sort of but it was such an awful experiance that i didn't do it again. this time it just seemed easier for some reason. Anyway fast foward to November/ December 2004 and my parents are ready to sent me to a inpatient facility, yet i get one more chance. i got a blood test to reveal all my vitamin and stuff like that are really low and none of them even come close to the minumum standared. My kidneys are 4x worse then the ideal number meaning if i walked home their was a chance i could die. So i ate and recovered. i never felt so much better and as i ate a minumun of 1500 calories my brain began to function better. but just like two weeks ago i was throwing up again, God knows why and i certainly don't even really know the reason. But after gaining only 2 pounds i had gone from eating about 900 (i was "good" all day long) to 1500 and yesterday i pigged out so now i'm about 130 but i want to lose those five pounds but i'm just going to exerise a little and maybe eat just a little less (i was eating 2000 and maintaining and eating 2500 and gaining 1/2 pound) so yeah sorry its SO LONG but yeah don't be afraid to stop or tell someone and you will gain weight but like a few pounds also maybe go see a diet dude because he/she will help you stop and then help you lose weight healhly.

If you are bulemic or anorexic you nee dto get help because you could kill yourself over time.
Reply from Alexandria, Age 14 - 03/24/05 - IP#: 69.73.4.xxx I'm not in your situation, but I really think you should tell an adult you trust ASAP becasue this is life threatening. I think that you could like pop your esophagus or something, but I'm not sure you should probably check that out before you start to worry. One of my friends told me that because something LIKE that happpened to her cousin. It was really sad because her cousin was only like 12 years old. Again I realy think that you should get help asap, and you can get through this. Good Luck....I really hope you get through this and to anyone else who reads this please please please do not go about losing weight in an unhealthy because you could seriously harm your body...and you only get one of those.
