Answer 2

Why can't we say anything about how bad it is? It is bad. And for a number of reasons. The issues of aspirating (breathing in) regurgitated material aside, let's look a so physiology. The esophageal passages, the back of the throat and the mouth have a form of mucus that coats them. (Saliva is what we call the mucus in the mouth.) The stomach lining is coated with a very thick secretion to resist the action of the hydrochloric acid (HCl) that is generated there as an aid to digestion. The stomach's coating normally prevents damage to its lining. When we regurgitate, we throw up the contents of the stomach - including the acid. The mucus lining the esophageal passages isn't designed to resist much of the stuff. Acid burns are very common - almost unavoidable. Those burns are uncomfortable in the best cases, and hurt a lot in the worst. (It's a burn. The pain is fairly constant; it just doesn't subside.) Burns take a while to heal - if they aren't so bad they become ulcerative. If they do, you'll have an open wound in your esophagus. That's really bad, and, though it's uncommon normally, it is seen in the medical community frequently as an associated symptom of someone with an eating disorder. And that's what we're talking about here. Why mince words? An eating disorder will develop in some cases when someone who has a "negative" self-view makes decisions about their eating habits that end up hurting them. They compromise not only their short-term health by their actions, but their long-term health as well. A few steps on the path can pull an individual into a destructive pattern. By sticking your finger (or another object) down your throat and triggering your gag reflex, you can make yourself throw up. You can drink or eat "nasty stuff" that will have the same effect. You can take specific medicines like ipecac that are designed as emitics. There are a few other ways to make yourself throw up. Considering them all, there are no "good ways" to make yourself throw up (in answer to your question). The thing to consider is reading the related questions and the answers to them. Now is the time to make good decisions. All you can do in the future is damage control. Why not steam clear of the torpedoes? If you don't take any hits, you don't have to do any damage control. Where the damage control is (so obviously) necessary here is the self-image thing and thinking that you are "fat" or even "overweight" a bit. Why aren't you talking to someone about this? Some folks feel they are the only ones who are so affected. They are not. Weight loss is a multi-billion dollar a year business. And it's due in large measure to a bunch of people telling us how we should look. Oh, and also to us believing them. Bulls*@t. Step up. Tell them to step off. Live your life in balance - and on your terms. Get the assistance you need to make your own (good) decisions. You know what to do. Find the courage, the strength and the endurance to do it. There are individuals, groups and organizations that can provide light in the dark places and can support you. It's your job to find them and plug in. Make it happen. The time to make up your mind is right now. A link is provided to the weight loss section. There you will find a list of questions and their answers. Start picking questions and reading the answers. This is a great place to start. And you can start immediately in this activity - if it is in line with what you want for yourself and for your life.
