What Are The Risks Of Being Bulimic?

Answer 1

Why, are you thinking of 'becoming' bulimic? Bulimia is a disease, not a diet choice.

The main risk of any eating disorder is death. But even if you don't die, being bulimic for a short period of time can affect your body for the rest of your life, with things like bone problems, heart problems, skin problems, etc.

Answer 2

Don't you DARE start "being bulimic". Do you have any @#$@ing clue what that even means? It doesn't mean "Oh I'm going to stick my fingers down my throat and puke so I can be thin! Heheheheee!!11"
It's a MENTAL disorder. The true bulimics don't do it because they "want to be thin". They're SICK. Mentally ill. They can't see how they truly look; they want to feel empty, they can't stand having food inside them sometimes. IT's a cycle of bingeing, purging, and starving. And it's a bloody HELL. People DIE from bulimia.
-Electrolyte imbalances
-Heart failure
-Muscle deterioration
-Malnutrition
-YOUR HAIR FALLS OUT
-Cracked dry skin
-Pancreas problems
-Kidney failure
-Possibly your stomach will RUPTURE (rip) and you'll die
-Cavities
-Gum disease
-Bad breath
-You'll smell like VOMIT
-Tooth decay
-Liver problems
-Osteopenia/osteoporosis
-Depression
-You will spend your days thinking about food, food, food, and eventually fail in all of your classes, you will be a failure in life
-Puffy swollen face
-Broken blood vessels
-Brittle teeth

The list goes on, dear. I hope you will not conform with IDIOTS' idea of "bulimia" and start making yourself sick. Because in reality, bulimia is a MENTAL disorder. Not some dumbass "diet" you go on temporarily to lose weight. People die from this. They suffer like hell. And it doesn't even guarantee weight loss. Some people's weights fluctuate by like 15 lbs week to week. You don't want this. Eat healthy, and exercise if you want to lose weight. Or you're an idiot and the world would be better off without you. I mean it.

I swear, the world is overpopulated with ignorant idiots. Maybe there is a reason why they make stupid choices. It's because the world needs less of them and thus more of them need to die. Among this population of asinine fools are "wannabe" anorexics and bulimics (I have nothing against those who genuinely suffer from an eating disorder; only those who think eating disorders are "diets" and imitate those behaviors really should grow some brain cells or something).

Answer 3

true bulimic is fascinated by food. She's likely to plan her binges carefully, and take great pains to hide them. Typically, her family knows nothing about them. Eventually, however, repeated purges may begin to produce physical symptoms. Constant vomiting can cause tooth decay and lead to swollen salivary glands, giving the face a rounded look. Excessive use of laxatives can result in constipation, indigestion, cramps, bloating, and gas. Other possibilities include:
Broken blood vessels in the face and bags under the eyes
Dehydration, fainting spells, tremors, and blurred vision
Rapid or irregular heartbeat
Rupture of the food canal (esophagus)
Internal bleeding and infections
Kidney and liver damage
Pronounced fluctuations in weight
In addition, bulimics are often plagued by guilt, shame, and depression. Although bulimia is rarely life-threatening, it certainly disrupts its victims' lives, and can eventually damage their health.
