Answer 1

you are indeed bulemic, and if you do not take steps to stop the behavior, it will escalate.

Answer 2

Bulimia is a serious disorder. It doesn't matter if you are making yourslf throw up occasionly or every day. You NEED to get help. For one thing if you don't stop you can cause serious damage to your esophogus and teeth. The more serious problem, though, is what it can do to your mental health. Once every 2 weeks could easily become once a week and then twice a week, and so on. It sounds like you are doing a good job of losing weight but you have to understand that progress is not always linear. You may have times when you stop losing of start to gain again and it will be tempting to throw up so that you feel like you can have control over the issue. But please, get help. If you are seeing a therapist for your depression and personality disorder then talk to him/her. It won't be easy but it will be the first step in recovery. i know that you feel that it isn't that serious but it really is. Best of Luck

Answer 3

... being irish has nothing to do with anything and being 97% of an ethnicity is the most ****** up thing i have heard. Drinking that much will affect your liver more drastically than that of a full grown person because your liver is still growing... you are more likely to develop a dependance upon alcohol and your liver will be less healthy than the average person's. When you get alcohol poisoning 1. it shows you are too immature to be drinking and 2. it is really not good for you... I recommend you drink less often, probably should wait until you are of the legal age where you live to drink at all... 18 or 19 in most provinces in Canada, 21 in the States

Answer 4

Anytime you are forcing yourself to vomit you are bulimic. It may be a mild form but is still bulimic. You should be very careful. You risk causing major damage to your esophagus and/or other body parts (stomach etc.) perhaps you should talk to a therapist to find out why you have this need.
Good luck hun.

Answer 5

your only doing worse for yourself.

your esophagus lining will deteriorate
your teeth enamel will be eaten away
your metabolism will go haywire

there is no positives in this, it is only mental.

congrats on your weight loss, but this is hindering you from anymore results.

in essence, STOP IT. of course you can see an end to this, you just have to want to stop. no answer on yahoo can change your outlook, so you need to find a way to control yourself.

Answer 6

sounds like your going down a very dangerous road,please seek medical advice sooner rather than later...

Answer 7

ya you have bulimia. Go get help before it gets out of control.

Answer 8
