To answer your question,yes,bullimia will help you lose weight. It will also ruin your esophagus. It will deplete your body of the nutrients you would have gotten from the food you're throwing up. Your complexion will start to look dull and you'll probably break out in sores. I know from long hard experience that losing weight is not easy. I've had to resign myself to losing a little at a time. I was always in a big hurry and used meth and anything else that took my appetite away. The weight always came back and now I find myself paying for it. If that's what you want for your future,I cant stop you. Think hard before you decide to do this-please.

This is a really miserable way to live, I had a friend who was bulimic and miserable, pretty soon started isolating herself from everyone, then went from bad to worse. These are things that you do, it becomes a way of life and keeps you disliking yourself for it: sneaking food all the time (and feeling guilty for it), eating large amounts of food at a time, vomiting, using laxatives, or over exercising to get rid of the calories, extreme concern with body weight, this is all you think about. Enamel on teeth wears off and teeth are rotted because of the vomit. Losing nutrients, as the constant vomiting takes out any nutrients that may have been eaten.
This is not a fun thing to do, it's gross, it makes you feel awful about yourself, and you go downhill, it takes over your life, and it didn't make her skinny either.
There are so many healthy ways to lose weight and at the same time feel great about yourself, this shouldn't be a option in your head.

I can assure you there are way more "cons" than "pros" when it comes to bulimea!
The acid from your stomach is going through your mouth (when vomiting) and will waste away the enamel from your teeth and make your teeth darker and grosser!
It is also bad for your stomach in general and you could get alot of problems with your throat from all the acid going through it as well.
Do some excersizes, eat smaller portions of food (and keep it down!) and you will lose weight AND keep your health/teeth intact in the process. Good luck, and don't go to extremes for weight loss, there's too many negatives in regards to your health and mental health also.

Yes, you lose weight. The cons outweigh the pros's. You take the risk of popping or tearing your esophagus. You take the risk of dehydrating yourself, losing your hair, growing ugly patches of hair on your body , becoming so skinny that your bones show and your eyes sink into the socket, being fed through feeding tubes that are stuck into your nose and they go directly down your throat . The stuff they feed you is this brown grainy vitamin supplement.
It's not a pleasant thing to go through. There is a great moving you should watch, I believe it's called "Dying to be thin" It really educates you about bulimia

No, the nutrients are already taken in before you vomit it back up. But it is an incredibly unhealthy habit. Throwing up a lot is not good for your body and if you're worried about weight all the vomiting makes your cheeks look pudgy.

It rots your teeth because of the stomach acid that comes up with the food, gives you horrible breath, makes your bones brittle because of the loss of calcium, and your heart will become irregular because of mineral losses. The best thing to do is find somewone you can really trust to talk about how you can loose weight safely.

You are talking about it like it is some kind of diet plan. It is a mental illness, remember this the next time you start trivialsing it. It is dangerous in every sense of the word and leaves your body screwed up. HTH.

Yes it makes you lose weight but it is extremely dangerous for your health.

Hell yeah it makes you skinny. Mainly because you don't digest any food so you starve yourself. Just like anorexia, but you eat the food, then puke it out. It makes you stink, AND rots your teeth. hope you don't plan on winning a beauty contest.

Everything is dangerous about it. Why do you think it's bad to vomit? When your ballimic, you put alot of stress on your body and if your too skinny you put stress on your heart and you can have heart problems-7-
