Most people with bulimia need professional help to stop. What you said to them was very cruel and not the sort of thing a real friend should ever say to anyone, but it was probably not the cause of the bulimia. Apologize and urge them to talk to a counselor or medical professional. Bulemia is not a triviality - it kills people!
And NEVER call people names like that again - it hurts like hades, even if the person seems to laugh it off. People who are teased (and again, this is true even if it doesn't SEEM to bother them) often have psychological problems ranging from aggression (like the boys who killed at Columbine) to suicide.
Still, there were probably other causes - just being teased by ONE person is not usually enough to cause an eating disorder like bulemia unless the teasing was relentless over a long period of time. So you are right to feel guilty because you did something thoughtless and cruel but you probably did not singlehandedly cause the bulemia.

Well, have you every seen Super Size me? After he ate all that bad foot and stuff he suffered from malnutrition, which is really bad. To get his health back he had to have a detox diet. Eat well; get help if you can't quit puking; exercise, even if its only walking around. Junk food/ fast food is a no go if youre just starting to stop, it can make you bloated and make you seem bigger, when your not, so since you're still working on it I wouldn't go for it. If you are still uncomfortable with your weight, dont not eat or puke, just eat several small meals rather than 3 big because it speeds up your matabalism. you'll be okay, it'll take a lot of will power, but you can do it. good luck! :]

apologize - you calling them fatasses probably helped contribute to their bulemia. you need to be their friend and be positive about them and let them know you are aware of the bullemia and that you want to help them over come it....it has severe consequences - both mentally and physically.

Be honest with them. Apologize for the jokes & names, & then let them know you're there for them. Ask them how you can help support them.
There is help for them. You may be part of that help.
