About a couple weeks ago, I finally figured out how to throw up. I used to tell myself I would NEVER do it.. because of all the things I have read about people who have it. But I did it. And I have done it about every other day now. Or whenever I eat too much. I need to know that what I am doing is terribly wrong. I need to know what its doing to my body to make me stop and force me to eat normal. Give me the gross details.

That is SO NOT GOOD! That you figured how to do this is opening you up to some horrific problems. Self induced vomiting strips your teeth of enamel, it makes your eyes bloodshot, it can swell your salivery glands giving you a hamster like appearance, it can cause stomach ulcers, it can cause you to bleed from your throat and your stomach, it weakens your heart, it upsets your electrolyte balances, it can KILL you.
And you know what else? It is probably the least effective way to lose weight!
These are just a few of the problems, I could take all day listing them, but the truth is you already know it is bad for you. Please seek help NOW. Not tomorrow, nor the next day, but TODAY. Pick up that phone and get help while you still have the chance to do it. If you let this become your life it will be so much more difficult to stop.
Post here whenever you want to chat or to get support.
You can get through this. You are so brave for coming on here to ask for help.
I wish you all the best.
Let us know how you are.
