Is it just thin people who become anorexic or can fat people suffer from the same like can they become anorexic to loss weight Is that still an eatting disorder?
When I was about 18 years old, I thought about this. I was overweight by about 40lbs. I thought to myself, if thin people can purge and get scary skinny why can't I purge and get to a healthy weight? I decided to give it a go. At first it was a little strange, but I started to feel better after puking. It removed all guilt I had about eating large portions. I didn't throw up everything I ate. Only when i ate a large dinner or junk food. In about 6-8 weeks I had dropped 35lbs. The scale at GNC said I was only 2lbs over my ideal weight. I was so happy. Nobody asked how I did it. My husband wasn't concerned either. Everyone was just blown away. Especially people that I hadn't seen in a couple months. I was so thin and everyone told me how great I looked. I had reached my goal and decided to stop purging. It was rough to go back to eating normal because I still had that voice in my head and that full feeling in my stomach made me want to puke, but I stopped. As the years passed I gradually put weight back on, just 5 lbs or so a year. Now i am 35lbs over my ideal weight and I have been at the same weight for about 3 or 4 years. I was happy with my body for the most part. I wish I could get back to those thin days. Last fall I dropped a few pants sizes from stress and I loved how I looked. I gained it all back very suddenly and now I am once again unhappy with how I look. My clothes no longer fit and it's depressing. Last week I began purging again for the first time in 10 years. I already feel like I'm losing weight again. And once more, when I reach the weight I want to be, I will stop, but this time I think I will adopt more healthy eating habits. I make sure I drink plenty of fluids and take vitamins every night. I drink milk and never purge when I've eaten a small amount. I don't want my body to think I'm starving because it will slow the process. I am in no way advocating bulimia. It's only something that works for me, and if you're smart about it then it won't kill you. I suffered no adverse health effects from the 2 months I was bulimic and I don't think I will this time around either. I'm just very proud of myself for having the guts to give it another go. It's not for the faint of heart, I can tell you that.
