Hello everyone, well I want to start from the very begining were it all started..
Arlighty so I have this friend who I've known for my whole life; sense we were babies. And growing up we were always a bit on the heavy side, but she was always a bit bigger than me. She moved away but we still remained in close conact with eachother. I would usualy visit her 2 to 3 times a year. And I started to notice that everytime I would see her she looked slighty slimmer than the last time I saw her. Just recently I saw her and she was down to 120! She said she had been pig-ing out lately and had gained 5 pounds so she was 115! Now im super jeluas and I envy her. I dont wish any bad upon her but I wish I were her size.
So I started to make myself throw up EVERYTHING I ate. Doing that I lost 13 pounds in matter of 2 1/2 weeks or maybe 3...can't rember. Then came spring break and I started to eat normaly again and to my suprise didnt gain any weight. Now I started to make myself throw up becuase I want to be as thin as her. I know this sounds kinda weird and stupid. But I just feel as if I had to do it, becuase if i don't then the next day when I'd step on that scale i'd see I had gained a pound, and to me weight is a really big issue. I do NOT have low self esteem I do not think im uguly, hideous or petrifying or anything of that sort. I just have weight issues! Has anyone gone through this or is currently going through this? I know this is not normal so I'm not going to ask if it's normal or not.

    1. Take that scale of yours and destroy it. Because...
    2. Exercise > Vomiting
    3. If you continue doing that, you will grow ulcers and lose your teeth. Basically adding problems on top of other problems.

    I think it is normal to have issues about your weight and how you look..I throw up sometimes too, but No, it is not normal, but not usual either. lots of people feel the way you do.

    It's much healthier to exercise and eat better then throw up.

    sounds like bulemia nervosa to me, go to your dr...there ae many really bad effects including high risk for oral and throat cancer. you need to control weight gain by diet and exercise NOT vomitting.

      Yep, sounds like bulimia. See a doctor and talk about other ways to loose the weight.

    You need to see a doctor really soon! Making your self throw up is killing your inside and can really hurt you. Also ruining your chances of getting pregnant. I had a friend like you, she made herself throw up when she was a teenager, now she's about 29 and cannot get pregnant. I'm not trying to scare you but this is a serious eating disorder that can put you on you death bed. Pleaseeee get help for you and your body. It may be great that your losing weight, but later you'll regret it. There are many ways to lose weight the healthy way! Best of luck and youu need to stop!!

    Your right, it's not normal...it's also not healthy emotionally or physically. You need to get help for your eating disorder it's only going to get worse.
