The physical effects of bulimia include an esophagus with stomach acid holes in it, rotting teeth from the stomach acid, loss of hair due to lack of nutrition, heart attack, stroke, and death.
It sounds like you're at a point where you know this is a problem and that's good. Because that means you can get help. Please make an appointment with your medical doctor, and also seek emotional help, too. The bulimia is a sign of something else that is hurting you emotionally, and it sounds like it's connected to your boyfriend. Find a therapist or counselor who can help you get in touch with those feelings, and then the need to purge will lessen.
As for your boyfriend. Well he doesn't seem very nice. He told you he would get rid of the porn when you told him it bothered you, but he didn't. If he's not taking your feelings into account with this I wonder if he's not taking your feelings into account about other things, too.
Please, go get the help you need and deserve now.

I really feel for you. I have this problem and have done quite a bit of damage to my body. I have weak bowel muscles due to the excessive amount of laxatives I took. Forcing myself to be sick after eating (doesn't matter what the amount any more) I have badly decayed teeth, acid reflux and possibly a hiatus hernia. Sometimes my body purges itself without me forcing it, but that (i've been told) is due to the body being repeatedly "told" to be sick after eating. It now does it automatically. Fighting bulimia is certainly not easy, but I would definitely recommend that you get a good therapist who could help you in this matter. Good luck with it.

erm.... i think you should start by keeping to the weight you are currently at. dont change or make any decisions about your weight yet. just get comfortable with yourself and work on being healthy and happy. ( :
you need more self confidence!!! ditch your porn freak boyfriend, go out with someone new, fun and nice!. no matter what you are to young to b miserable! (regardless of what no one should feel that way, your body and mind tells you its not correct)
what you do to yourself now and how you treat yourself will extremely effect your future later as a mature adult. many girls around your age start suffering from low self esteem, eating disorders and suffer mental, emotional or physical abuse from boyfriends. You need to take care of yourself! and start loving yourself regardless of what.
- because no matter what guys will only treat you well if you treat yourself well and its also the only way to attract the correct type of guys.
good luck! im sure your going to do well eventually. ( :

I have terrible acid reflux now as a result of it. Sometimes my prescription drugs don't even help, and it's the most horrible pain. I have gone to the hospital 3 times for it hurting so bad... I think I must have the esophogus of a 3 Billion year old mummy.

My heart goes out to you
I've had an eating disorder since the age of 2 and a half.
There are people you can talk to. Where are you.? I suspect you are not in the UK. It's too late for me but you can get help.
You would have to be extraordinary to conquer this without help. Please talk to your doctor or the Samaritans, or the Eating Disorders helpline.
All the very best

Bulimia can kill you, eventually! Definately, definately, talk to a therepist and/or a doctor about this, it could save your life!
If your boyfriend was watching porn behind your back, he's an *** and it none of your fault. Don't think it's because you're unattractive!

the affects can be deadly. you need to get counseling and see a doctor to find out what you have destroyed of your body already so they can help you.
hope you get better!
