Bulimia

Usually the people that develop bulimia are people that are used to throwing up and going to the bathroom( which, hopefully, most people are,). They also might have easy access to a lot of pills. Most people who get bulimia aren't very happy with themselves and they think that they have a weird body shape.

Depending on one's behavior other than purging, self-induced vomiting can be a sign of bulimia nervosa, anorexia nervosa (purging subtype), or eating disorder not otherwise specified (ed-nos). The DSM V may also include a new eating disorder called Purging Disorder.

Dont be. Its horriable and can ruin ur life.

Chronic nausea can result from several medical conditions, some much more serious than others.

These include gastric reflux, ulcers, inner ear disorders, migraines, metabolic disorders, and chronic anxiety.

Your doctor can usually rule out many of these with simple examinations (e.g. of the digestive system). Nervous disorders, stress and anxiety causes may be harder to diagnose.

Coming from experience. You first have to come to terms and realize what you are doing is wrong. You are only hurting your body sweety. Bulimia can cause problems, too many to name and for one even prevent you from one day having children. It causes more harm than good. You yourself need to stop and realize that you want to live and lead a healthy life, and that you are BEAUTIFUL and NOTHING is WRONG with you. If you have confidence in your self, people see that and admire that. To get rid of the pooch.....proper diet and exercise....that does not mean starving yourself. Just eat what is right, and avoid fast foods,grease,and too much sodium intake because it will make your body retain water. Your body will thank you and you will see the right changes! There is nothing better than someone like the above poster who has gone through this and offers good advice. I just wanted to add that "Weight Watchers" is an excellent place to starts. It's more about corrective eating habits than diet and you will end up the weight you should be. Yes, you will lose weight if you are truly over-weight. You need not tell them anything confidential about yourself. They may ask you what weakness' you have such as snacking between meals, a desire for sweets (especially chocolate) but as far as your Bulimia it is no one else's business unless you choose to make it their business. Weight Watchers (no I don't work for them, but have gone to them) has a great support system. Good luck hon

This is sort of awkward, but it could be because you are constipated. You may have so much you know crap in you that if you eat any more substances you are going to throw up, because your body can not handle any more food.

Anorexia, defined by a loss of appetite accompanied by weight loss or poor weight gain, usually denotes a VERY SERIOUS psychological disorder. This is such a complex subject matter that I will list the most salient side-effects from anorexia nervosa - * liver failure, renal failure, electrolyte imbalances (sodium and/or potassium may become abnormal in the blood), heart disorder (arrhythmias), and death. The list of complications is much longer but these are some of the most serious. Several famous people have died from anorexia - one person that comes to mind is Karen Carpenter (of the Carpenters' singing group, back in the 1970's). Loss of bone density and resulting risk of fractures. Loss of teeth with receeding gums and foul breath. Sores and breakouts on the skin, and even loss of hair. Kidney and liver failure are also common, as well as permanent damage to the internal organs and systems. The body can go into menapause very early and prevent a female from having children. All of these make the person susceptible to illness and diseases of all types, many of which can be fatal. And the person looks really, really ugly, just skin and bones, hollow eyes and knobby joints.

After you throw up you should eat saltines, apple sauce, or ginger ale. The ginger in ginger ale will sooth your stomach. After throwing up you should not eat anything big or that has a lot of acid like regular soda or pine apple.

Actually, you can be born with an eating disorder. It is statistically shown that almost 95% of women are prone to developing an eating disorder, but some may be born with a chemical imbalance, causing an eating disorder.

Stomach ulcers, inflamation or even ruptures in the esophagus, chronic irregular bowel movements(Laxative abuse), dehydration, tooth decay, anemia, sore throats, swelling of the salivary glands and death. I'm sure there are more.

Never. What you're doing is called "purging" and it is EXTREMELY unhealthy. Please talk to a doctor as soon as possible because this is a condition that can eventually result in serious illness.

But because the bulimic may deny there is a problem, getting medical help is often delayed.

yes it does. Muscles are made through workouts (and other things) and are maintained with protien. Since you are throwing up all that you eat, you dont get ant protien, calicum, vitamins, ETC. therefore, you lose all muscle and your bones grow week

It is not normal to throw up after eating, and one should definitely not want to throw up purposively after eating. The nutrition in food usually needs at least 12-24 hours to be fully digested. If you want to intentionally throw up after eating, you likely have an eating disorder or a digestive disorder.

It depends how much you are eating and how hard you are working out. If you are eating enough to maintain your current weight without the workout, then you need to burn off about 3500 extra calories to lose 1 pound (32000 kJ to lose 1 kg). For example, if you are not over-eating and you do step aerobics for an hour a day and you weigh 100kg, you could expect to lose a pound in a little under a week.

If you have an eating disorder then you you will need help support and guidance to overcome it. The best place to go for information on local support groups, programs and resources is nationaleatingdisorders.org (Click on the link below to go directly to the site)

You could also develop an outpatient support team with a medical doctor, therapist, and/or dietitian or go to a treatment center. I went to Remuda Ranch and it helped me a lot. There is a website at edreferral.com/ that can help you with searching for treatment in your area. Good luck and I am proud of anyone who is willing to get help for this. It is not an easy battle, but I promise it is worth it.

its hard to get over try with small amounts of food regularly, dont try to over eat and over do yourself, small and regularly...

Well, we look at the stars alot, the bony thin people who seem to look amazing in any clothes they wear. Alot of the stars have been anorexic, take Mary Kate, or some others. This basically screams to us, THIS IS THE WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT! But it really isn't. So much emphasis is on the way that people look that young teenagers are looking up to these people and thinking that they are NORMAL sized when the average size for a UK female is a 16. So these size 0, anorexic are the un-natural ones, not the real, curvy women. In answer to the question, YES the media has a HUGE impact on the eating habits of young people.

No. Bulimia it self is a eating disorder, while the symptoms are the same. They both usually starve themselves, but if a bulimic eats one or a few more bites of something, he/she will go and purposefully make themselves vomit.
