no i do not have an eating disorder...but once in a while after eating a huge meal that i feel guilty about i will just throw it up...i was just curious how do u know if you have thrown up all the food you ate or if you still feel full kinda after u get done..well i was just curious cause i did it the other night and it seemed like i threw up alot but i still felt like full afterwards like i had still just eaten...dont worry this is not an everyday thing i am just wondering. thanks

No one can diagnose you over the internet, but throwing up after eating is a symptom of bulimia. Just because you don't do it every day does not mean you do not have a problem. You should really talk to a therapist or a doctor b/c bulimia is very dangerous and can even lead to death.

http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/wave.gif Hi, I'm new to this board. I wasn't planning on reading any of these posts, but yours caught my eye. I'm sure you know that binge eating and then throwing up isn't healthy for you, so I won't go into that. I will say, though, that you're better off not eating a huge meal in the first place, because even when you throw up, your body still absorbs AT LEAST 60% of the calories of what you just ate. You feel full because you stretched your stomach out, and it's not physically possible to empty it by vomiting. I know what it's like to feel guilty about eating a big meal, BUT vomiting won't make up for that guilt if you're absorbing all those calories. I know I was shocked to hear that percentage--it's not worth ruining the enamel on your teeth or the lining of your esophagus for a few measly calories!

i agree wit tricky. that is an ed& u dont know it.
