hey, about 6 months ago i got really thin... like 155lb and i'm tall (190cm). But then i started throwing up because i wanted to lose more weight... I started not being able to control my hunger and then i would binge eat and then throw up daily. I throw up everything i eat everyday and i know its not healthy. I'm trying to break out of this cycle, because i guess it is a pattern that i'm stuck in. Is there anything i can do? Right now i'm a tubby 185lb. Thanks.

this situation is so tough. I have been there. I had it for 5 years, and it totally ruins your life. I would rather of died then gain weight. It was sick! I went to a therapist and she helped me yes, and I felt on top of the world when I was in her office but out in the real world your therapist will not be there to hold your hand. It is a choice that I just eventually made. It would've been so much easier to quit in the beginning but as time goes on it truly is an addiction. I no longer have that particular problem but I still have issues with weight and food and I probably always will. Sometimes I binge, but I just won't throw it up, either way it is not good. Eating is not bad for you, and a lot of times when you start to eat healthy you will actually lose weight compared to binging and purging all the time because you still absorb fat even when you vomit. Eat throughout the day, your biggest meal in the morning, and your body will find its ideal weight. You live only live once so don't ruin your life by doing this. I have ulcers that I suffer with, and my teeth are hideous, and it really takes a toll on your body! Get control while you can, otherwise it will be too late.

You are so much braver than I am. I was bulimia, and still have relapses, but it took me over ten years to come out in the open about the fact that I have an eating disorder. Self control, and a really good support group is what you need. I am willing to share any advice I can give. Wish I knew you better. Not knowing you though, I would say that you should see a counselor, or find someone close to you that really cares who you can confide in and talk to that won't charge you tons of money per hour.

Since self-image is the root of the disorder, many teens suffer from Bulimia Nervosa. There are many Treatments of Bulimia Nervosa, usually involving a drug therapy and counseling. Like with Anorexia, anti-depressants seem to have some effect at reducing the extremes and giving the person a fighting chance because they help people improve how they see themselves. Just like alcoholism and drug addiction, Bulimia Nervosa is an addiction. Unfortunately, we can't abstain from food without dying. The best way to our recovery is to find a healthy way to fill the void in our self-image. What do we fill our void with? Actually, we were designed with this void, so we would seek a relationship that makes us happy, healthy and mentally strong.

i feel for you. i had a friend with the same problem. she was hell-bent on losing weight. after unsuccessful stints of going to the gym, she saw this as her only way to lose weight. she is eating properly now, but it has left a psychological and a physical effect on her life, plus some unsightly looking teeth, due to the acid damage on the enamel ,she still goes to counselling sessions, and sometimes has bouts of depresssion.it is a long road to travel on to get better, so i would suggest to you , to please get some proffessional help.good luck and take care

The truth is no one else cares what you look like just as you don't really care about what other peoples bodies look like. Everyone is too wrapped up in their own little world. Learn to accept yourself no matter how you look because you create your own reality and only you can make yourself happy:)

you have and eating disorder and wont get threw that alone.
tell your family, friends, social worker, school nurse, family friend and they will help you.
the earlier you start treatment the better chances for permanent recovery.
treatment has to be combination of medical, psychological, nutritional counseling and dental (because vomit damages your enamel) help.
dont be ashamed of it - its not about the food- its more psychological disorder.

i think the best bet would be to go see a therapist like the one below me said. you cant take advice just from ppl because their not doctors no offence. we don't know your health status and the Dr will... take care
