The reason heavy people can not lose wait while bulimic is because your body goes into "self preservation" mode. When you deny food to your system it changes your metabolism and SLoooooOOooooowsit down in order to have enough body mass to SURVIVE.
When I can not eat (believe me I know how you feel) I buy some food tha I "used" to love. Then I eat some. Even if I only manage a little bit I compliment my self and say "Good girl, you are taking care of your body".
I know it sounds foolish to MOST people, but it helps those of us that need encouragement.

I struggled with this for years as well and am still. Let me tell you it is VERY difficult to overcome this on your own, if not impossible. You will need to get help immediately because it's not if, but when, you'll die from it. I'm only 26 and I've already had a heart attack, a stroke, ulcers, and a number of other things.
You want to get help, so that's the first step. Look at www.anad.org. It's a site that will direct you to support groups and counselors or treatment centers specializing in this.
I know you are embarrassed, but you need to tell someone you love and trust. They will not tell you you are disgusting. They'll try to help you.
Hang in there. This is treatable, but you can't do it alone. You must tell someone, and you need to treatment for this ASAP. Good luck.

You need to see your doctor so he can help you and check you out for possible internal damage from your years of bullemia. You need to stop worrying about being fat or gaining weight and think about your health and living. It is amazing that you havne't noticed the damage this has done to your body. See your doc to get checked and be to find out if the damage is peramanent or not. Life is definately worth living and bullemia is a slow way to kill yourself.
