Is it normal that i take laxatives when really upset about my weight?

I know this is not normal or healthy. I don't do this often, but every so often, when I'm feeling particularly awful about my weight, I take laxatives. It's a very rare thing but it makes me feel like I have some control, especially if I'm really trying to diet and I mess up one day. I don't think I'm doing too much damage because it's not often.

Is It Normal?

  • You are deluding yourself if you think the laxatives give you control. Next time you feel the need for a pity party, do some yoga.

  • I don't think using laxatives is unhealthy, it kinda cleans your insides up. Nonetheless you shouldn't use them for weight control. I'm sure you're beautiful as you are and don't need to change. Some people prefer skinny models, some others prefer sumo whrestlers... You'll find people who'll love you for who you are if you haven't already.

  • Awe, please don't do that to yourself. That's not right. That's not healthy at all. You're gonna hurt yourself really bad if you continue that. I think you really need to tell somebody about this. You shouldn't feel that way about your body, and you shouldn't be taking laxatives. Please talk to someone about this. Someone in person, not on a website. You need to talk with someone.
