You already have an eating disorder, if you're making yourself puke. You should talk to your parents and a doctor about getting help, and you'll probably have to talk to a dentist, too, as puking a lot can rot your teeth.

omg do not do that. That is what lindsey lohan did. Its a bad thing to do. Your wasting time puking all you really have to do is eat slower and dont chew hard. Eat some softer foods. If its a problem with your weight then just go on a diet and excerizee some more. You should not be puking over food at the age of 15.
And thank you soooo much for the thing you said on my answers about my weight!! its helps me aloottt!!
If its just a problem that you cannot help or stop. Go contact your doctor and maybe he can help.
Good Luck!!

this is not good for you..short term, you are prone to fatigue, anemia, electrolyte imbalances..long-term, you may get irregular heart beat, cavities, parotid gland enlargement, esophageal stricture, and a number of other things. you do have an eating disorder. you need to get help..its not too late..just stop yourself, and tell someone close to you that you can trust. and call a hotline if you dont think you can tell anybody. lots of girls (and guys too) suffer from body dysmorphic syndrome, and think that they are fat or would be better looking if they lost some weight. its not always true..and you wont be happy because the weight that you lose will come right back once you start eating the right way! you could die from this disease..and you need to look at yourself and ask yourself if you are worth more. at age 15, you have a lot to look forward to..take it from me..im 31, and im finally coming to terms with the way i look. im not always happy with it, but i wasted so much time thinking about it..its not always healthy, and its definitely not worth puking over!

Stop puking after meals. If you still feel a need to do so any way, you will need psychological help. Explain this to your mother and ask her to get you a psychologist that specialize in this. There are plenty of people that have had experience in this and can get you help.

You have probably irritated the salivary glands. Stop throwing up and drink plenty of water. Your glands should go down within a couple of days. Yes, you have a eating disorder. You need to talk to a counselor and your parents. You are not alone. It's sounds like you want to stop doing this unhealthy habit. You just need some guidance. You can do it.

It sounds as tho u are suffering from bulimia. U really need to talk to someone about this, like a therapist so they can help u through this cuz it is a very serious disease. Don't risk your life to be thin. I am 16 and my best friend is bulimic and anorexic and she has a therapist and a nutritionist. Just remember you are beautiful no matter what and to treat yourself with respect!!

Yes eating disorder...
Besides making your jaw swollen it will also take all the enamel off your teeth making them very sensitive, brittle, etc. etc. Get some help.. Dr., mom, counselor , someone.

Yes this is called bullemia and you need to see a doctor to get help for it. It a serious eating disorder that can cause permanent problems or even death if left untreated.
