Answer 1

It's not a good way to lose weight. Bulimia nervosa, commonly known as bulimia, is an eating disorder. It is a psychological condition in which the person engages in recurrent binge eating followed by intentional purging.
Vomiting can make your body lose too much water. This can lead to kidney stones. Vomiting can also upset the balance of chemicals in your bloodstream, which can damage your muscles and heart.
Being sick all the time can cause damage to your stomach and the tube that carries food from your mouth to your stomach (your esophagus).
Women who have bulimia for many years can have trouble getting p regnant. Sometimes this is because their periods have stopped.
If bulimia is very severe, it can make your heart beat irregular, which could even make your heart stop beating. This is because it upsets the balance of chemicals in your body.
If you still want to lose weight cut out Soda, Junk Foods & Greasy foods. Eat healthy nutritious foods from all food groups (organic when you can) & drink lots of water & start exercising.

The coolest part about bulemia is how after a while, the acids from your stomach constantly coming up will cause your teeth to yellow and possibly rot. And your breath will be AWESOME!

But seriously, if you want to lose weight the best thing to do is to not eat so much. Put your food on a smaller plate if necessary so that you feel like you're eating a lot more. Eat more fruits and vegatables and less meat and sugar. You don't have to stop eating candy and snacks altogether, but limit yourself to only a couple of hi-cal snacks (candybars, cake) per week and snack on apples and carrots and stuff. Eat early in the evening and do something moderately active after dinner, like walk the dog or walk with a friend around the block.

You probably aren't fat anyhow, you just watch too much of the MTV and see all of the ridiculously anorexic twits with their bones hanging out. That isn't attractive, and that isn't what women look like.

First of all never ever ever think about making yourself throw up. When you eat something by the time you throw it up, your body has already absorbed some of the calories. You have what is called a sphinkter muscle at the top of your stomach. When that opens food either goes in or out. When you make yourself gag the sphinkter muscle opens up and food comes out. What they don't tell you is that if it opens too often, you will have problems keeping things down later in life, even when you want to keep the food down, because your muscle will be so stretched out. Also the acid from your stomach can eat away at the enamil on your teeth. When bulemic's get seriously involved in there eating disorder, everyone can point them out. Nasty teeth, bad hair, no energy, and disgusting fingers. Love yourself the way you are.

Answer 4

It is not a good idea to think about bulemia. Bulemics throw up immediately after eating, before the food is digested, so you do lose calories and body fluids-----It is a very dangerous practice. Even if you don't do it often enough to lose a lot of weight, it affects your blood pressure (gets very low) , you can dehydrate, you can get dizzy. Also, fyi, all bulemics are not "skinny". These people say they feel better and less gross, but their medical conditions say otherwise. Stop thinking about it.

Answer 5

Your body NEEDS calories!! Throwing up your food does more harm then good! You lose weight by throwing up everything you eat because you starve your body which in turn your body starts to feed on itself! Dont even consider doing this type of weight loss cuz you can really do damage to yourself!!!!!!!!!
