bulimia???

[beetlequeendiva]

What are the symptoms of bulimia? I generally eat and then make myself think of throwing up and then I do throw up. My friend seems to think I might be bulimic - but I'm not sure. Please help me!!!

Well, eating and throwing up afterwards are the symptoms of bulimia. Suposivly if you do it 3 or more times a week then they definatly classify the issue of being bulimia. you can do a search on any search website and look up "bulimia" or even "eating disorders" and find out more info about it.

I would say you were from what you said bt i am not a professional so don't take it as a diagnosis. If you ever need a chat or whatever let me know

Hi hun, Bulimia takes many forms. But i can explain it rather quickly and easy for you to understand. I was bulimic... for about 3 years. I haven't purged in 171 days. So i think i can explain it.

Bulimia is binging and purging. Binging- eating large amounts of high caloric foods in a very small amount of time. Ex: eating about 1000 cals in 30 mins.
Purging- Forcing onsself to become sick by vomiting, using laxitive, or directics.

Not all bulimics binge. Some only purge after they eat.

Hope that explains things. s

There is also something called non-purging bulimia which is where you compulsively excercise or take diet pills or something instead of purging
