fear help: Why cant i make myself throw up? - Help.com

lol pick ur snout

dont do it. i tried and it doesnt even work. it makes u tired and look sick all the time. the best thing to do is when u dont have time to run, just dont eat as much/or cut down on the junk food. and work out the next day. there are always other options then making yourself throw up. plus it causes many bad things to you. even death. dont believe me? look up the effects on google. it’ll scare you.

plus once you do it, it’ll become hard to stop.

I want to learn how to throw up too…. me and my friend are having a bet to see who can lose the most weight before prom. PLEASE I really wanna win!! Pleeaaasseeee some one tell us….

I have the same problem. I used to be able to, now I can’t. I think it’s just the body refusing to… it’s really not a good thing, but I don’t blame you for feeling guilty, I always do to. It’s so much easier to just throw it all up, rather than eat healthy or exercise, but I guess it’s really the answer. It screws up your teeth and throat, and it only gets rid of about 50% of the calories anyway, if even that. Trust me, it’s better that you’re not able to do it in the first place, even if that sounds mean. :) You should never need to throw up, just keep to your jogging, that’s the good way to keep a healthy weight.

Oops, I meant really NOT the answer!

i have the same problem i tried to purge then my throat gets so messed up and my stomach hurts but sometimes ieat so much and it seems like i have no control. then i feel sick and guilty so i’ll try to purge. sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. i think the best thing would be just to try and chew gum before indulging, then drink water, go for a walk. all i know that purging sucks and it’s not satisfying considering you’ll nev er get it all out anyways. unless u were to go to the ER and say that u ate some poison then they’d probably give u something to throw it up but that’s a bit extreme don’t ya think?

well im not a dancer or anything. im an athlete and im just sick and tired of being fat. and my docter told me im obese. even though i have a lot of muscle i also have alot of fat.. it would be soo much easier if i losee 20-30 lbs. push up and in general swim and playing polo would be easier and i would be a better athelete. ppl say u wwont be able to stop and its bad for u. but i know that i will stop after i reach a normal weight, and i WILl know when to stop. i just cant get myself to throw up. i shove a toothbrush down my throat but it NEVER works. can i do anything else to make myself throw up?? plz dont just tell me that im ruining my health. i have my reasons im just asking for help

Listen people I know exactly how she feels I was in ballet and they looked down on me becasue i was an american junior size 13 so I ended up quiting dance because of it and i really miss it. I’m an unhealthy weight and i’ve tried to do that too. the same thing happens nothing comes out and it just hurts my thoart so i get more stressed becasue i have no control eating and i feel sick and i wanna get it out and nothing is working. So i keep gaining weight let her know how so i can know how to do that too. There is nothing wrong with the occasional throw up. If you were fat like overweight like me you wouldn’t be saying that…..You guys don’t know the stress she is feeling and I completely understand how she feels right now.

Just lately have I been trying to control my weight problems by throwing up. Hopefully this will work. I’ve tried so many things to make myself happy, but nothing seems to do it. It grows so old after a while. If you have any tricks for me, I will thank you.

I totally understand i wanna throw up so badly to lose weight its unreal im 14 and im 4 11 and i weigh 104 i feel the need to b skinnier!!! im even in every sport at our skewl and i cheerlead so im not lik emo or anythang lik my life isnt total hell i just wanna b thin and feel good bout myself and i think thats how i will

i have a problem with perfection… im 14, 5′6′’, like 117 pounds, and not a moment goes by that i dont think im fat. i look at really skinny girls and think wow… that doesnt look normal, but yet still i want to be skinnier, and wish that i could lose weight. when i start to eat, ill EAT. i cant stop myself… and then i feel like **** about it. maybe im depressed and ****, i dunno, but this totally SUCKS and i dunno what to do. i wish i could just ****** believe im good enough for everyone, and especially myself.

I mean im no where near fat but i weigh 110 and i would rely like to get down to 95.. so for the past few weeks i have tried eating very little but it rely doesnt do anything so yesterday i just gave up! so i ate a cookie and i kept eating and eating so than i tried to make my self through up SEVERALL times and it didnt work!! i tried shoving a toothbrush down my trought and my finger and i even drank water before handd….I just started balling because i didnt know why i couldnt do it?! trust me i will never resort to doing it all the time like some people ijust rellly want to know why i cant so i can do it evry now and thenn…
PLEASE HELP ME

yeah same thing with me-at first i thought u where supposed to throw up right after a meal-i tried but it didnt happen-it must be some gag reflex thing.. maybe its not so easy for others.
but everyone has a reason-just like me,my friend is always getting all this attention from my guy friends I introduce her to. i mean i think i have a cute face but not the body and she has the body but not such a cute face. and i just HATE her attitude always stuck up and bossy. and i consider myself a nice person ive never really told this to anyone. shes nice to me tho just not all the time.
i always feel like crap when i eat and im always so sad i know i would be a more happier person if i had a nice body. and be hapy for living. :(

i sometimes do that to myself.
i feel better afterwards but i know it is wrong.
my tops has been five times a day, but recently i have only done it once a day. I get depressed with myself.
I’m a size four and i always feel like i have to struggle to get to that size two.
please don’t do that to yourself.
i always thought it was stupid but hey, i do it now. but i just looked it up to see all the bad things that can happen to me if i continue. i know i should stop and i’m going to try. I should be happy with the body god gave me.

I have issues doing it sometimes too. especially when i havent eaten anything for like a day. I am an athlete so i think its just my body taking in the food so quickly that i can’t throw it back up. But I know what you guys mean. When htis happens I literally start crying. I think that if you are able to control what you eat more which I am working on too, it will be easier not to resort to this. try keeping a journal of what you eat and the amount of calories you intake per day. But please dont stress out too much becasue it really sucks when you starts having nervous breakdowns in your own bathroom because you cant throw up the extra carbs. 3

My sister was bulimic. She got down to 92 pounds and was 5′7′’. Imagine that. its not healthy. She went to the hospital because **** a drs. checkup they said that her heart was not beating right. They told us if it had waiting a few more days, she would be dead.

ok in over weight and i need to lose weight cause i just dont like the way i look and plus i can never cope with diets and cant exercise cause im not aloud to go out in week days so today is the first day for me to try to vomit i had breakfast and i vomited like after breafast with an hour

I used to drink ridiculous mounts of vodka. whiskey/brsndy on a empty stomach and throw my guts up for days, i no how you feel its horribleb being fat try luke warm water nd salt, i reaised i was fat today after finding stretch marks, so go on google n type in how to become a better anorexic and its the web page which is everything or something like that, good luck

I’m 15. I’m 5′4″ and 220lbs
Quit ********

your gonna make a habbit of it without relising…and before you know it your gonna be in the toilet hiding from everyone…throwing up…quit it before you get addicted to it. trust me.

hi… i havent told anyone about this…not fully. I cant tell anyone else either because then i would sound stupid and to be honest i dont want to make a big deal out of it cause i dont see as that important… i started to make myself throw up and now ive made a habbit of it somehow, it makes me feel better. and when i get really upset like when i have arguments with family, i just throw up to make me feel better. Its not a nice feeling at all, but i do it. I’m always in the toilet even at school…no one has noticed and i hope they dont, i cant tell anyone either. So i found this site so i can get my feeling out cause it’s not easy botteling it up inside. Throwing up and not eating everyday…there is food around me all the time and i cant eat it :( i have a twin…and its the best thing in the world! but i see her as the pretty and skinner one…and i feel that we are always in competetion with each other, and she’s always winning in my eyes. I told her that i think she’s prettier… She didnt agree at all, she said we are the same and so did everyone else… but i know every one thinks she’s the better one. And i cant change that so the only way to make me feel better is me not eating or eating a bit and throwing up… i dont see myself as skinny to be honest and i see my twin as someone with a good shape… she says that to me… but i dont believe it cause i reckon she’s only trying to make me feel better. Anyway i dont want to bore you with my little pathetic story… i just hope i dont end up with anything seriouse cause thats not my aim at all.

hey…..i am thin but i keeep eating a lot of candy, i am bulimic i just started , i know its bad but i used to do it like once a month barely, but now its once and week and soon its going to be everyday i knw that, u can try to stop before it gets too addictive, belive me ur going to feel bad about it but u wont be able to stop, now is the time for u, atleast u have a choice right now but after sometime u wont have this choice….and yea i cant throw upp to when i try i just am freking strainiing my throat and destroying it. anyway good luk

drink alot of salt water really fast and then stick something down your troat. This will make it easy to come back up…

Good luck

Bulimia is not a game, im also a dance and i suffer from anorexia, and yes i do resort to bulimia when my parents FORCE me to eat, its a mental disease that should never be use just to loose a few pounds, you CAN quit easy peasy so please do, you wouldnt be worth all the distress afterwards…

you guys are not sick,
so people saying tht need to stop.
Its rediculous. PPl seek help, and talking to parents,
does not always work. If you think you are fat,
go out and buy some cool shoes, or do your hair beautiful.
go out and show off what u do have. god makes everyone special,
in thier own way. throwing up will leave you feeling worse. Its
like smoking. adicting. u r beautiful. u r not sick. seek help for
close family, teachers..anything. parents do not always understand

you should do want i do first eat a whole lot and when ur so full to ur sick run to the bathroom and get ur toothbrush and use the back side stick it as far down as you can 3 times and it should come up you can do it untill you think its all on or untill u see blood so u know it is all out but dont do this to much it is really bad for you and can hurt you in the long run._.

drink alot of diet soda then eat w/e u want. The easiest food to throw up (surprisingly) is ice cream. It’s pretty quiet too.

drink warm water with salt I’ve never done it but they say it works

Emotional immaturity does not equal a more devoted dancer. It equals daytime talk show. You should not throw up and you should seek help. If you get yourself some counseling you will be doing something positve for yourself. If you continue on this route you will be a crazy self consumed girl who is more interested w/ puking good food down the toilet than becoming a better person. You could spend that time working on your dancing or volunteer.
You have a mental disorder!!!! Throwing up is just a physical manifestation!!!!! I am not going to call you sweetie! I am not going to tell you that you are not fat!!! Get help and get over yourself!!! Prima Donna!!! Don’t be embarressed to get help. Be embarressed that it took you this long!

If anything, just be HAPPY WITH YOURSELF. That’s the first step. There are many girls who would KILL to be just like you, look just like you; BE you. I have an eating disorder myself, and trust me, purging your food doesn’t help. The stomach acids from vomiting burn and erode your esophagus. The acids also ERODE and ROT your teeth. Sure, you may become stick thin, but you will have low self-esteem, rotten teeth, and STILL feel inadequate. Exercise, eat healthy food, but never forget to occasionally treat yourself to unhealthy foods. In moderation of course. c:

Be happy with yourself, and if you need it, seek help!

ok.. i’ve just had what I would call a big meal… I had a boring day, one filled with extra reading for my course, it seems that no matter how much I work I’m still behind, anyway, so i spent the day munching, not on anything majorly ‘unhealthy’ - unsweetened popcorn, an apple, a pear, a slice of plain toast, some cheese, non fat yogurt etc… only problem is i had too much, and then at 8 I ventured into dinner :(
after dinner I felt really full… so as i was brushing my teeth I felt the urge to throw up, and I tried to induce it but failed.
I know I shouldnt, but.. urg I just feel so fat sometimes. I dont suffer from an eating disorder but I’m not happy with my body image. I try to avoid eating anything that I’d consider unhealthy but my main problem is controling the amount i eat of the ‘healthy’ stuff…
that and the occasional student night out with alcohol seems to have resulted in me not being able to lose weight, I’m not gaining (exercises everyday ensures that) but I can’t lose these 5kg I want to..

never mind I was just feeling down after the throw up failed attempt and just wanted to vent.

I battled and am recovering from anorexia. Now that I’m eating, I’m feeling guilty and try to make myself vomit. It doesn’t work and now I want to be anorexic again. I just wish I could die.

How could you possibly not know how to throwup? its your body, don’t you know how to make it work? don’t you see videos about anorexia/bulimia awareness? just shove something down there, its really simple.

How to throw up:
eat a meal that will really make you full…wait about a half hour, then put your finger down your throat, sometimes it takes a while, so just play around in there with your finger, and you’ll feel yourself gagging, it may take a while, but if you keep doing it im sure you will throw up especially if your full. when pple ask these questions, trust me they no its bad, they just want an answer so give them an answer!
haha i highly suggest you dont do it. i did it for the same reasons and i actually want to stop now but its hard. disgusting. i always feel sick and feel like somethings about to come up any second.
