Not all bulimics throw up after every meal. Some actually are able to eat normally most or some of the time and only binge occasionally or once a day or whatever. Not every bulimic is the same. Yes, it sounds like you could be bulimic. Usually, for it to be officially diagnosed, it has to have been going on for 6 months. Some bulimics can go weeks without binging and purging, some go days, some maybe every other day, some once a day, and others binge and purge many times a day. I've been bulimic for 11 years. It fluctuates for me. You should talk to your doctor and get a referral to a therapist and stop while you can. The longer you wait, the harder it gets especially when you're obsessed with your weight and you think you've found the magic "answer."

Yes you are, but very very bright for recognizing it and coming forward to ask. Bulimic people don't force themselves to throw up all the time, some even do it once in a great while. Some people eat to solve their problems then feel ashamed about how much they ate and force themselves to throw up.
Do you eat a lot when you get stressed? Or just feel like eating?? The best thing to do is find the root of why it is you eat a lot every once in a while and force yourself to throw up. Some people are upset eat a lot, and throw up. The next thing to do would be to find another alternative then turning to food. Bulimia can cause so many problems in your body it's not work risking your life. (Sorry if I sound preachy, not trying to be, I've just known people to go threw this and still have health problems because if it)

Look,I know your 12,im 12 too,and throwing up after every meal is not right,it's not the answer,you'll start getting weak.I am also worring about my weight,but i just balance my dietary habits and get more active.I actually beleive no one should be bulimic because it's very unhealthy,Especially for you,your too young to be taking such high risks for your weight and looks.
P.S I REALLY hope this helps you make the right decision.

You might just be becoming bulimic and it could become worse. You should probably seek help now before it does.
