I am scared for the person who answered your question "i've been bulimic for years" - dont ever be cheery about having a disease - get yourself help because otherwise you will never be able to properly nourish a child while in the womb - you will probably freak out and become suicidal when you see your belly start to swell and arent well enough to be responsible for another life.

As a girl who once suffered (and still is, mentally) through bulimia and anorexia, I know that telling you all of the risks of an eating disorder and scaring you won't work. The fact that you're scared tells me that you're ready to stop suffering needlessly. Because you ARE suffering needlessly; NOBODY deserves this.\n\nPlease, go and see a doctor, tell your parents, tell a friend, tell SOMEONE you trust about your anorexia! They will not blame you, they will not ridicule you, they will not shrink away from you. If you need support or encouragement or ANYTHING, please don't hesitate to use this e-mail: ohthechemistry87@yahoo.com. Tell someone and be safe. You're stronger than anorexia; you can beat it. Believe it.

i'm not sure which eating disorder you've been diagnosed with, but the mind part of it never goes away, you might be able to stop doing certain habits you've accustomed to but the thoughts and temptations will always be there. i'm sorry i don't want to bring you down, but trust me you're not alone. i'd invite you to read the book "Wasted", by Marya Hornbacher. VERY GOOD. but triggering so be wary. i wish you the bEST OF LUCK IN FIGHTING THIS BATTLE.\nyou can email me freely, please if you need someone who understands to talk to ok?

you are already on your way sweetie, if you want a little help and support definitely try weight watchers, thats what i do, and its awesome if you stick to the program. the best thing about it is you can eat whatever you want it just teaches you portion control :)

You don't have to die, you can get better if you choose. I know you probably have your own reasons for being bulimic, but read that question over again. You said "when will I die?", you DESERVE to be happy. You have a chance if you choose to take it. Talk to someone you trust, a parent,friend,teacher,school counsoler, or someone at your church. You can beat this, there is hope. Here are some links that you may find useful.\n\nhttp://www.bulimiahope.com/\n\nhttp://www.eating-disorder.com/\n\nhttp://www.mirror-mirror.org/eatdis.htm\n\nThere is hope, don't give up the fight.

Overeating is such a horrible addiction to overcome.  If it worked for us like for an alcoholic- and we could just never eat again- I could stop.  But unfortunately, you have to eat.\n\nFist of all, let me suggest to work on the issues from your childhood.  Resolving those should help a lot.\n\nAnd then, you could make notes or keep a journal- write down what you eat..... That should keep your hands busy and away from the food/mouth for while- .. No, really.. if you see it written down, it sometimes helps you recognize what you're doing.\n\nAnd find other things to keep you busy.  There are support groups out there- but I found I got worse after a overeater's anonymous meeting- they told me I had no control over my eating so I went home and proved them right.  Then I realized that was ridiculous, I did better before I went to the meeting.  I'm now diabetic and that helps.  I'm forced to make myself eat less to live.  When you get to a point where your life depends on it, you can do it.  Oh, and at least when you eat- eat healthy.

If I had to choose, I'd pick bulimia.  You still get to eat that way.  However, I'm not emotionally unstable, so I don't have to pick either.  Catch my drift?

I really have the same problem with you right now. I eat once per day (very small amount), and i just had my lunch, i really want to puke. I feel guilty after having my lunch. I'm suffering, i'm hungry, and i drink a lot of water to cover it, i have a bad gastric problem since i was 8, but i'm still doing this until today. I feel very stupid. I wish that i could stop it. \n\nTrust me, if someone said that you are skinny, please eat ! Eat 3 times per day, but don't eat too much. Exercise, ut do not over exercise (1 hour per day, it's enough). Love your body please ...

The problem is that you will become obsessed and not eat properly. People have been known to binge and purge several times a day. Bulimia is a serious disease with an estimated mortality rate of 10% according to the Eating Disorders Association of the UK. Other health problems associated with the disorder include:\n\n* Electrolyte imbalance, heart arrhythmia, heart failure \n* Teeth erosion and cavities \n* Sialadenosis (salivary gland swelling) \n* Potential for gastric rupture during periods of bingeing \n* Acid Reflux \n*Irritation, inflammation, and possible rupture of the esophagus \n*Laxative dependence \n*Peptic ulcers and pancreatitis \n*Emetic toxicity due to ipecac abuse \n*Potentially death \n\nIf you think you have it, seek help.

Im no doctor but I believe that you should get some help.  Not eating is not healthy.  I was anorexic also.  I got so sick it was awful. You should get some help before it's too late.

Ok, here is my advice. I was bulimic for about 7 years also. I felt so fat if I didnt vomit after I ate. I wouldnt even keep a cracker down. I really got depressed because I couldnt stop. Then, one day I started to feel short of breath. I had lots of test run over the course of a year and they finally found out (once I told my doc I was bulimic) that I had damaged my hearts electrical system and I was having PAC's.. I was so scared of dying, it just wasnt worth the risk to me to be thin. Normally PAC are not a deal, but I started reading on the internet about bulimics whose heart just suddenly stopped, it scared the hell out of me. The heart has to have a supply of potassium for its healthy function, and each time you vomit, your losing more and more potassium. It could cause the heart to just stop on you. Please stop doing it, its not worth it. Learn to love yourself for who you are.

Talk to her tell your worried about her and that she really needs to stop what ever shes doing because if shes bulimic and or anorexic she could end up dieing or in allot of trouble such as not being able to have kids. Her teeth will look disgusting if she making her self perg and if shes not eating she can get very sick and not even be able to move if she keeps it up. She needs nutrients in her body and she needs help QUICK you should tell her everything that can happen and you should tell her mom your Aunt your mom anyone to  get her help if shes between the age 13-15 tell her to read the book Perfect by, Natasha Friend because i just got over my eating disorder because i read that book.

Please get help. You are beautiful in God's sight and He loves you...please do talk to someone you trust. You are fine just the way you are...except for the anorexia. Do you want to die before you get a chance to go to college, get married, be a mother, have a satisfying career? Do you hate your family so much that you're willing to slowly kill yourself to get away from them? I doubt it. But that's what will happen if you keep going the way you're going. Please get help.

Hi there - I think you should really speak to a counsellor about this as it seems that your eating is a symptom of a bigger problem.\n\nBinge eating is a symptom of other probs and these should be sorted out first.\n\nPlease tell some-one responsible like a parent, counsellor at school or a teacher that you trust!
