Well, for one thing, it rots your teeth. That's for starters. Do it long enough, and you have esophageal erosion which can lead to cancer, and ulcers. Do it often enough, and you screw up your electrolytes. Screw up your electrolytes bad enough and your heart stops beating. After that, lights out. Nah, not much wrong with it.

You are 5'4 and 111 lbs and you think that you're fat. Well actually you're underweight. The reason that people have a problem with someone being bulimic is that the person is doing long term irreparable damage to his/her body. The constant irritation of the lining of the throat can lead to severe problems as well. Not to mention the fact that you are risking your life. No one is telling you to get fat. No one is telling you to put on weight. What I would personally love is that you could accept yourself. Just the way that you are.

I think you should take a nutrition class. You can learn how foods can work with your body, and how they can't. Also think about your teeth. After throwing up so much you might get thin, but would it be worth it with no teeth? bulemia is really dangerous obviously. And I am sure you know that. Talk to a doctor, and see what you can do to make you maintain weight more easily. I was anorexic, because I couldnt stand my thighs. i got to 96lbs, and still saw fat. Luckily I had an intervention, and you realize that somethings are hereditary, and you can't get rid of them. just try to love what you have, and work with it.

anyways...ok what your doing is twisted,
just for the satisfaction of seing your bones or w/e...its not fair to do this to your body.
im serious, i know it sounds lame and all but atleast try going on a Healthy diet and exersicing few times a week.
and how long do you think you're gonna keep this up for?
....you have one body, take care of it, cuz its not like you can go to wal mart and get a new one.

If you care how much you 'disgusting food' you put into your body, then why binge and purge? Just watch what you eat. When you force yourself to throw up, your stomach acid erodes you esophagus, and your teeth. If you keep going it you'll cause yourself serious internal problems, lose your teeth, and your hair will start to fall out from malnutrition. If you think toothless, bald zombies are attractive, then go ahead and keep doing it.

how old are you? i am fourteen. im 5'1 and i think im overweight eventhough everyone tells me im not (i think they are trying to be nice) but im trying to lose weight. i tried throwing up, it didnt last, i tried starving that didnt either. so now im trying counting calories. there is something wrong with being bulimic, it cuase tooth decay, and intestinal problems. if you continue yo do it you wont ever be able to stop, and you be malnutritioned and of course die. It wouldnt be bad even if you weighed up to 138 pounds, 120 and youll still be skinny.

That is what is wrong with it. I went to school with a girl who was bulimic and she DIED. Her heart couldn't take it anymore. 5ft4in and 111 pounds- you are barely above being "underweight" (check your BMI) Try exercise and eating healthy. I bet if you slowly start to do things that are GOOD FOR YOU, you will start to feel better about yourself.

You will destroy your teeth, your organs, and your skin. You will destroy your health - permanently. You will smell bad and look bad - not only too thin but your skin will have a bad color and your eyes will look glazed & polluted. Your energy level will be low and you will lose brain cells. By the time you decide that bulimia is a bad idea, it will be too late to be healthy. That is, if you don't die first.
