That's it, it's the difference from anorexia, with bulimia you eat a lot and then you make yourself throw up all that, so you become thin like a stick. In anorexia you dont eat anything, and the few things you do eat, you throw up for making them go out, and likewise, you become thin like a stick.
Anything else?? Let me give you an advice: both are illnesses, they are not effetive methods for being slim or lose weight, if you think they are, in this case, bulimia, forget about it, believe me, I've known girls who have died from that, not kidding.
Happy New Year and love yourself, you are beautiful in a every single way!!!

Bulimia can be even more dangerous than anorexia. Stomach acid is the same as Hydrochloric Acid. If you ever take a chemistry class you will see how strong that acid really is. By throwing up numerous times, it causes the acid to start eating at the esophagus, throat, and you will have a higher rate of tooth decay.
Throwing up too much can also seriously throw your fluid and electrolyte balance off. This can cause the heart to become irregular and in some cases has resulted in death.

how does it work? it doesn't. bulimia causes the body to literally destroy itself, your internal organs become starved of protien so your body dissolves fat and then muscle tissue. each time you barf stomache acid slowly dissolve your teeth giving you a rotten gummy smile. the lack of nutrients to your brain makes you delusional and moody then it all shuts down and you die.
your a lot prettier now believe me. if you are considering bulimea talk to your doctor they will be able to put you in touch with the right people who can advise you properly and give you the help you are looking for. X

For the love of God do not do this I watched my little girl slowly kill her self doing this. If you have not started please do not if you have quit now while there is still time before you destroy yourself. your size or weight does not matter. you can find true love and happiness no matter how large or small you are. If you think you are too heavy look around you millions of happy over weight folks are out there. I you must lose weight do so only under a doctors care.

It doesn't work well. Don't do it. Your tonsils will bleed and your teeth will rot eventually.
