i realize that this is a stupid choice, but i've tried eatting right and i've tried the only diet that my parents will let me (they want me to be on the same diet that they are on, a low carb diet) but it doesnt seem to work for me. and i cant be on a low calorie diet cuz i dont burn enough calories a day.

Eating disorders are no joke. You don't just pick one up to drop a few pounds. The best way to do so is through change in your exercise and diet. Besides, inducing vomiting can seriously damage your stomach, throat and teeth.
As far as your cough and such now.....it's probably unrelated. You've probably got a cold or virus going on. However, if symptoms persist, and you believe that you've somehow damaged your throat with that toothbrush, by all means, see your doctor.
Discussing healthy nutrition with your doctor wouldn't hurt either. Please keep that toothbrush on your teeth and out of your throat!

You've irritated and possibly scratched your throat up a little, which is why it's mucusy and causing you to cough. When it heals in a couple of days that will stop.
Please don't try to lose weight by vomiting, since the strong acids from your stomach regurgitating will destroy your esophagus (causing painful incurable heartburn for the rest of your life), as well as completely eroding the enamel from your teeth as the vomit reaches your molars (causing them to rot and eventually the loss of your teeth).
Hating yourself is the real problem, because no matter how great you look if you hate yourself nothing will be good enough. Look at what happened to Brittney Speares. Try and work on that, then a normal healthy diet will be more than enough to control your weight. Bulimia just is not good for you in any way. I used to vomit all the time in my teens on purpose and all it did was cause weight yo-yoing. It wasn't worth it at all.

You probably gave yourself an infection. Continue to throw up and you can also look forward to stinky breath, yucky teeth, dry skin, farting all the time and a really sore stomach.
You might lose weight by throwing up but it isnt going to make you feel better about yourself. Try exercising, drinking lots of water and eating heaps of fresh vegetables. You will get a better body shape, your skin will be clearer, you'll have more energy and you will like the way you look ALOT more.
Anorexia is freaking ugly. Hollow cheeks and sunken eyes is not attractive, you lose fat but dont gain muscle so the skin just hangs off your bones but is still floppy. Guys dont like girls that are just a bag of bones, the thing that makes women sexy are their curves, ask a guy what his favorite part of a womans body is and he'll say legs, bum, boobs etc. I'm yet to hear a guy say he likes hip bones sharp enough to slice his bits off.
That Allegra Versace girl looks just plain nasty. Yuck. Why would you want to look like that????

Even if you successfully got into a pattern of spewing after every meal, you would simply hate yourself more. If this is the ONLY way you can lose weight then clearly you are not supposed to lose weight. Besides which, continual vomiting will erode the enamel on your teeth and you'll feel even worse about yourself. The only safe way to lose weight is through healthy eating (which stimulates your metabolic rate) and regular exercise. You cannot cheat on this.

please dont ever try to do this again. But it is probably irritated. If you want to lose weight PLEASE just do it through healthy eatting (a proper DIET) and exercise. SWIMMING IS GREAT. you more then likely irritated it and there is always a possibility you introduced a infection to your throat but not as likely. If it continues see a doctor. You may also want to tlak to someone about why you became so desperate to do that.

That is your body's message that it doesn't want to do anything unnatural. You are beautiful just the way you are. Take care of the inside and the outside will take care of itself.
