I’m seriously considering becoming bulimic. - Help.com

Bad idea. I know its not what you want to hear, but bad idea. I almost came completely anorexic, and caught myself. Eating disorders are a quick fix, but they can also kill you.

NOOO! Don’t do it!! :(
You could die! Think about your family and all the people who loves you.
You can do exercise, or trying to eat just fruit / vegetables, but keep it sane :)

good luck

WHY does everyone seem to think that the only way to lose weight is to go on some crazy diet and exercise loads, or develop an eating disorder?

Why exactly do you “need” to lose weight fast?
Really think about it, do you actually need to?

grr, what did i say that made it flag my comment????

Basically i was saying i almost did that, and saved myself just in time. Don’t do it, it’s a quickfix that can kill you. It looks appealing, but its a nightmare.

What?????????????? Its flagged two of my comments!!!!! What am i saying here??

yea i do need to lose weight.ive been fat my whole life.i hate it.

I would advise against it. You know it is not the proper thing to do. We are not going to rationalize it for you.

So there’s no particular event coming up that you want to be skinny for? No deadline?

If that’s the case do it healthily and properly, that way the weight will stay off.
Bulimia doesn’t just mean puking up your meal, it involved having a really messed up relationship with food, binging in huge amounts then feeling such a guilt that you feel the need to starve, over-exercise or puke. Until the next binge.
It rarely results in weight loss.

Just cut down a bit, be a bit more active and the weight will drop off. You don’t need to go to extremes you’ll just end up back on square one.

try walking for fifteen minutes before you eat breakfast, it helps. Moderate exercise and less junk food makes a world of difference. An eating disorder will make your life worse than if you weighed as much as the earth.

I already have a messed up relationship with food.i eat for stupid reasons.

Like what? Because you’re upset?

i eat pretty much for the same reasons i used to cut.sadness,stress,guilt.idk.its like i always have to be hurting myself somehow.

That’s not stupid! In fact, it’s very common. I used to the exact same thing. Eat away the pain. Sounds like you need to find some positive way to channel your feelings. Pick a hobby, maybe even one to help you lose weight, and use it to channel them in a positive way.

Okay I’m going to tell you something now in the faint hope it might alter your view on this whole eating thing.

I got chubby when I was going through a really stressful and upsetting time. I was comfort eating. I am like you in that I seem to always have to be in self-destruct mode in some way, and I was abusing my body by eating too much junk.

I soon realized I’d got bigger and was horrified with myself, so began a crash diet that basically started off as light, healthy meals and soon turned to just fruit and veg and water until I was really starving myself. I got carried away, it was like once I’d started, I thought ‘hey, i can do this, I’m going to keep losing until I’m really skinny’

I would fast for days then binge in the middle of the night. I was so terrified of putting the weight back on that I started puking it back up. I dropped to six and a half stone and I’ve never felt more ugly, depressed and horrible as I did then.

My periods stopped, I was sent to the doctor and he said that luckily they had caught it in the early stages, before it turned into an eating disorder. I realised what I was doing was stupid and I grew out of it.

Now I eat a balanced diet with occasional treats and I am generally quite active. To be active you don’t need to be a gym freak, you just need to have hobbies and these also serve as distractions from food. Even shopping is exercise, just being up and moving and busy some of the day counts.

When I look back on my diet days I just think, what a waste of time and a waste of my life. It’s honestly not worth it, all I got from doing it was stomach cramps and a low self-esteem.

The sooner you accept yourself as you are, the sooner you’ll be able to make positive changes.

I took notice of 2 things that you wrote:
1. you believe you need to lose weight
2. you feel overwhelmed at the moment and feel that becoming bulimic is the only solution

Feel free to share with us more about what has lead you to want to lose weight, and how you feel becoming bulimic is the only alternative.

ive always been the funny fat girl.i hate that.i want to lose weight because i know the weight i am isnt good.lately my friends have been telling me that ive lost weight but i dont see it.i feel disgusting.

I don’t know if this is the case for you so I won’t accuse you but there are a vast number of girls out there that say this kind of thing for attention

“everyone says I’ve lost weight but I think I’m fat”
“I want to become bulimic”
I hear those things a lot.

I need to know now, are you honestly seriously having issues with food or is this a bit of an ‘everyone feel sorry for me and worry about me’ stunt?

Im being completely honest.i do have food issues.i honestly cant see the weight loss my friends tell me about.it just feels like im at my last resort.

Hi Anonymous,

You seem to be feeling overwhelmed at the moment, and you seem to be saying that you have used food as a way to deal with feelings of stress and sadness. Feel free to share more about these feelings.

I feel like no one will ever love me because im so fat.like im undesirable.i need to change that.

So you measure your value based on how you look and by they way you perceive others feel about you.

Honestly…yes.i know that sounds bad.

My role is just to act like a mirror, so I’m not evaluating you :), I’m just allowing you to see a reflection of yourself based exactly on what you’re telling me.

So it sounds as if you would like to change how you value yourself. In what way would you like to change your view of yourself?

i just wanna be normal and happy for once in my life.im tired of always fighting something.fighting cutting.fighting eating.im always fighting against myself.its exhausting.

So you would like to feel joy in your life, and you’re resisting and blocking something. Share with me more about what the “something” is.

i didnt wanna say this cuz it sounds really bad but theres this guy i like.alot.i want to change for him.to be better.but i feel like my weight combined with my past will make it impossible for him to like me.im 22 and i want to be loved for once.

(Please don’t worry about something sounding bad. Everyone has a right to have feelings and everyone deserves to feel loved.)

So from what you’re saying you want him to like you for how you look, but then you’re goal is to feel loved. It seems that you’re saying that he can’t possibly love you unless you feel that you look good enough.

I just want to add that there are actually incredibly attractive guys out there who love their partners no matter if their partners are large, skinny, disproportionate, covered in some skin condition, ill, have a few mustache hairs that happened to grow etc. (I’m really not kidding).

its just that i saw a pic of his ex and she is gorgeous.ive never felt pretty.not once.but its my fault.

That is a very poor choice to make. You dont have the will power to diet and exercise? Just do it! Its not as hard as you think it is. Im not saying you have to do a lot but you can at least try a little bit if your unhappy in your current state, but most people are unhappy with themselves so its not like your alone. Bulimia causes you to have a horrible appearance and ruins your teeth also from your stomach acids. All you need to do is be more comfortable with yourself as you are and see how you think you would like to be in your mind then try to become it through healthy methods. Just eat smaller meals, like half sized and do it more often in a way that your eating the same amount as normal or less because it keeps your metabolism going. Starving yourself will slow your metabolism and actually make you gain weight more easily. *hugs* Your not bad or anything. :)

Oh lordy. There used to be a girl on this site named Courty. She started writing here because she was in a psychiatric hospital for an eating disorder. She was, I think 70 pounds at her worst and couldn’t walk across the room. If that wasn’t enough, the strain on her heart was so tremendous, she actually had a cardiac arrest at 20 years old. If she were here, she would regale you with all the stories of how horrible that part of her life was and how it wasn’t worth it. She had her own reasons for hurting herself in that way, but regardless of what yours are, I PROMISE you, it is NOT worth it. If you’re doing it to feel “healthier”, then you will definitely NOT be. If you are doing it to feel more attractive, then guess what? You can’t attract anyone while lying in a hospital bed. It seems easy now, but sadly, that’s where this goes. Ultimately, you will be much happier being healthy and staying at your current weight than spending the rest of your life sick and regretting what you did to yourself.

It’s not really your fault.
Culture, friends, family, media, advertising etc. influence the thoughts we have and what we value.
Where do you think your belief about needing to look attractive came from?

In history, pretty much up until this last century, being really large and round was considered the ideal. So beauty standards are really influenced by culture.

The power you have is in recognizing that you are immersed in just one culture at the moment, but it’s not THE culture of all time, just one that exists out of the many cultures on the planet.

Anyways, lets look for other ways to value yourself. One way to do this is to think back, and tell us about 3 or more instances in which you felt really proud about something that you did.

idk what im proud of really.i was proud when i graduated high school cuz people said it wouldnt happen.

That’s a good thing! What else do you feel proud of?

Are these people who said it wouldn’t happen your friends, family, or just acquaintances?

Family said it.i was never much for school.im proud of getting a promotion at my job.its a crappy job but still.

That’s good! It sounds like you would also like to open up opportunities for a job that you would enjoy.

yea.i hate my job.i get treated like crap alot.

So it seems like you feel that your family has low expectations of you and you feel disrespected at work.

Pretty much yea.i have low expectations of myself too.i always think i will fail so i just dont try.

Did you know that our beliefs are actually really powerful.
If you believe that you are a genius, you can actually raise your score by a few letter grades. If you believe the opposite, then you can actually decrease your score by a few letter grades.

Anyways, what leads you to believe that you will fail at stuff you try?

idk.i feel like i screw things up alot.i tend to base my future on my past.its like i think every situation is gonna work out the same as it did in the past.

Here’s a different perspective:
If you try things out the same way, then the same things may happen.
If you try things out a different way, then different things may happen.

How can you try things out in different ways now to get different results?
What new beliefs would you like to have about yourself?

i would like to believe that im ok the way i am,flaws and all.i want to stop regretting things i know i cant erase.i want to believe that “me” is all i will ever need to be.

How about writing that in a journal as your goal.

Try believing those beliefs for a week and see what happens differently in your life.
See what you can do to confirm those beliefs, and continue thinking of things that you are proud of and grateful for about yourself.

Please read what you posted. This is not normal thinking. You need to see a doctor and talk about this and what ever else is bothering you

Hey now, do you know how many guys out there LOVEEEE bigger women!!!

And whoever said skinny or fat is normal. Its just moralistic world views. Forget hollywood and forget those magazine because you are beautiful big or small!

Throwing up is not that easy, it hurts and feels really bad.

Hey when you go on a sensible diet, eating fresh fruits and vegetables, getting quality protein like salmon, eggs, turkey breast, and eating complex carbs like whole grain bread, cereal, rice you will actually start to get healthy while you naturally slim down. You need to give yourself time to loose weight… Like if you 40 lbs, overweight, give yourself a year to slim down… You also have to accept the fact that no diet works unless you exercise .. Try power walking, swimming, biking, hiking, in other words start living again and move at least 30 minutes, 4-5 times a week.. I know you would like to loose without exercise, but to loose it and keep it off you need to move.. You will probably really enjoy it once you break your inertia.. Inertia is once a body is at rest it tends to stay at rest, while a body in motion tends to stay in motion..Forget bulmia.. That is a unhealthy way to go down in weight and health.. You want to be a healthy thin person not a sickly thin, and frail person.. Make sure you take a multi vitimin, mineral, and get calcium and magnesium for you bones and heart.. Good luck

Hey and you know what that weight watchers is 40 dollars a month and I know about 6 people who did and all of them lost like 15-20 lbs in 5 weeks!!! I am going to start it myself

Too dang lazy to diet and exercise, let all become bulimic and puke our way thin, lets abuse our bodies, make ourselves ill, end up in the hands of a shrink because we cant stop it.
Ohhh come on, get a brain here paleeeeze !

For those of who believe in, God…He gave us these bodies, we have this one life. Why hurt yourself as Anon said. No point to do it. If you seriously take 3 months to eat healthy, which there are plenty of wonderful healthy foods out there, you will se a huge difference. how hard is it to walk a mile outside with your family or friends?? play softball or something. Do a challenge between your family and freinds and give a prize at the end, like biggest loser style

Good luck! Best of wishes.

one time i visited this house for people who had brain problems or accidents that impaired their brains. and we met this one woman who was 80 years old. when she was 16 she had become bluemic and would throw up a lot. this caused her to rupture a vein in her brain. this caused her to lose most of her memory and cost her living her life like a normal person. Eating disorders ruin bodies and lives. Don’t do it.

I’ve decided to not read the post…but

Ahha ha ha aha, AAhhh ha aha aha ha ha ha…BAHH ha haa ha haa aaahhh….

Whew, that was good. Now c’mon you want to become bulimic?! It’s a called a disorder for a reason, it’s dramatically unhealthy. Some people never recover from it’s effects, especially those that are young and grow malnourished. Bulimia is a serious disorder, if you want to lose weight without exercise, contact a dietitian and express your passion for getting thin. Just listen to the professional please.

Not to be rude, but you laugh at this person and then give advice?

I don’t understand why…….

These things are serious and when you have someone that self conscious, which makes you depressed, ya it comes down to those measures. That is why they ame on here, to see what people had to say about it.

If you laugh at this, you are laughing at other people who have this disorder as well.

Perhaps you are right, I may have made an error in judgment. But when someone is saying they’re “considering” becoming bulimic it implies that they’re making an informed decision, rather than succumbing to a disorder in the brain.

I don’t find it funny. I feel the need to insult people who laugh at this kind of thing. Don’t take it personally.

Why would your brain tell you that a disorder will help you? That’s irony, and it’s funny.

My goal was that laughing would put the ridiculousness of choosing to become bulimic in perspective. Hopefully she will see that.

Quantum_Spirit wrote:

Because you hear the stories of people who lost weight using it, and you discard the consequences, and only think about the ‘benefits’. its not always a disorder to the people who do it. Its just a way to lose weight.

Quantum_Spirit wrote:

Or she’ll get self concious about it and decide she needs to do it no matter what.

Either way.

i know how crazy i sound.i just dont know anymore.

You don’t “use bulimia”. It’s a disorder. Sure models go and eat somewhere then throw it all up. But that isn’t respectable at all. It’s respectable to order something light and civil tell the person that your not hungry.

If you don’t eat anything your body becomes malnourished. Your brain doesn’t function properly, it can cause hallucinations and delirium. Not to mention the permanent health defects when growing.

Quantum. think of this. if you were over weight, you would be fu**** miserable, right? You would look at the hollywood stars and be like “man, i want to be that skinny and pretty! They have money, relationships and the world loves them!” And then, magazine are thrown in our faces with models who weigh 3 pounds soaking wet.

It is what the world views, its all moralistics. They want to look like that so they do not get made fun of.

So ya, people can def consider going belemic if it the easy and fastest way to get skinny.

You need to chill out, people come on here not to get made fun of but for HELP!!!!

ITS A DISORDER!!!!!

Author do let this person mislead you. Bulimia is a disorder and it’s common knowledge. Anyone who denies this obviously hasn’t seen the damage it causes both physically and mentally. Go google Bulimia victims. People have died.

**Author do not**

lol sorry for the confusion.

And that is your opinion and thats ok

See? By laughing I helped you see how absurd choosing bulimia really is.

It’s clear that you aren’t getting the proper perspective. Bulimia is like a disease, and you really don’t want to be “sick”. You want something else, specifically, I’m not sure what.

Perhaps you are a model and feel that this would help your career. It wouldn’t, especially since you sound susceptible to an extreme case of this disorder (you don’t care if it’s sick).

Whatever the reason, it’s better for you to stay thin with your own willpower.

i know its not normal to think this way.i know its not normal to actually want to be bulimic.a few months ago i went 2 days without eating anything because i was sick.i was proud of that.

Can I ask why you want to have bulimia?

Why don’t you want to eat something?

[quote Quantum_Spirit]See? By laughing I helped you see how absurd choosing bulimia really is.

You really didnt make this person see how absurd bulimia is, they already knew from people they KNEW.

Pressure from school? Are you a model? Does culture make you think it’s neccessary?

i really want to lose weight.this is gonna sound incredibly stupid but for once in my life i want to feel beautiful.

But I’m supporting that view, that bulimia is a mistake. Whether she accepts that consciously is irrelevant. In her mind she will register that bulimia has been looked down upon.

ya now you are, after you laughed. So laughing was irrelevant and did’t hepl, you were just being a jerk

Okay that I can help with. I worked at fitness depot for two years and have spent countless hours learning both how to eat properly and train my body. I’m guessing you don’t have the gall to start exercising, so we need to get you on a strict diet. And you need support from friends. Ask them to help you.

There are many ways you can do this and the most effective I think would be setting up a punishment system. Every week you stay on your diet put away ten dollars saved in food money. Tell your friends that if you don’t stay on your diet every day for x number of months than you will give them what’s left. And if you stay on course you get to spend two hundred dollars shopping for new clothes!

It’s totally not stupid, except for the bulimic part.

This is going to sound stupid, but ever since I dated an overweight girl, I’ve wanted to get fat. And last year I did! Honest I weigh over 200lbs. I’m 6′0 and most of my life I weighed 170, 160 now I weigh 210 or something…But I’ve had enough, it was fun while it lasted but this summer I’m going to get in the best shape of my life.

Your obviously missing the point of what I said, and insulting me to no end(gain).

By laughing (showing her that I find choosing bulimia ridiculous) and then offering advice I tell her that she’s considering a mistake, I care, and want to help. I’m not being a jerk.

Ok, im glad thats what you were trying to do but what if she doesn’t take things the way you do? Not everyone is alike or thinks alike….

Well, as I said before, there was a chance I was making a mistake. But taking in that she said she’s considering it, chances are laughing would have a positive effect. That’s because she hasn’t made the decision, and my response is that would be a mistake. Her mind will register that response and shift to understanding that viewpoint slightly. It’s an unconscious thing, just like advertising and I’m the medicine. Whether she feels insulted is not my fault because I’m laughing with her. I’m laughing at how crazy it is to want to have a disorder, and that she has been driving to this decision through social injustice.

Ultimately all we have are chances at having the intended effect when talking to people. No matter how much information we have gathered on an individual situation, we cannot know what the other thinks, or how he/she will react. This chance was a good one.

Do you think a psychiatrist would ever laugh at one of his patients????

Ya think about that one………….

Is she my patient? No, she’s a blogger. There’s a very big difference there. Psychiatrists have specific ethical guidelines they must follow. Otherwise they loose their license.

And on top of that, in this case, I think quite a few would.

Well thats ur decsion…Have fun laughing at someone elses problems to make urself feel better. IM UNSUBSCRIBING

Unsuscribing? Well if it makes you feel like your doing something beneficial by turning my clearly positive responses into a negative, you go right a head. The author didn’t start balling her eyes out because I find the prospect of someone choosing to get a disorder ironic and hilarious.

She agreed, and said it sounds sick!

But you be the better woman and leave. See if I care.

i still have bulimia and i hate it. everytime i try to diet i end up splurging on food and then i just puke it out. it’s not fun at all. i can’t help it either.

please don’t even consider it.

Author I’m re-posting this in case you missed this, and maybe “needsomehelp” can find this technique to be useful.

Go for it then.

Dont let the fact you could kill yourself, have your teeth start falling out, and not being able to stop once you get to a weight you like and then go to far and die from being to skinny or from malnutrition.

but yeah dont let those things stand in your way of taking the easy way out aposed to actually eating healthy foods and working out and not even just working out hard I mean just burning some more calaries in a day besides stuffing your face and thinking about how fat you are and wanting the quick fix.

try walking, running, ya know being active. Getting thin the right way instead of the stupidest way on earth.

Why would you do that?

I’m seriously considering becoming a comic!

Becuase they want attention. I bet this is a troll regardless.

I’m thinking the same thing!

Bulemia does work… I was bulemic for about 1 yr. It was great at first. I lost weight very quickly and started getting the body I always wanted. I’m an oddity because I am a male. Most people don’t realize that men can have eating disorders as well, so no one really thought twice about my weightloss. In the beginning I would only throw up one meal a day, maybe two if it was something really fattening. I had no problem getting myself to throw up and things were going well. Hell, the stomach acid even whitened my teeth a little bit. More and more I found myself throwing up more and more and binging all the time. I was constantly lathargic and had NO energy. I am a ballet dancer and during this time, I found myself unable to do the simplest of movements. Yeah, I looked good, but I couldn’t stay awake for more than 8 hrs a day and simple tasks became a feat. In order to continue with the dance company I was with I had to start eating again. I couldn’t keep it up anymore. My teeth didn’t rot out or whither away or anything, but I developed an extreme sensitivity to hot and cold that was excruciating. My hair never fell out. And most of the horrible things they say never became as extreme as they say, BUT the biggest thing is that it is not sustainable. You have to have the will power of a GOD to be anorexic or bulemic. It takes way more effort than you would realize.

In the end, I started eating slightly more, just enough to get by and I began to gain weight back. Slowly I began eating more and more and I gained more and more weight. I watched the food I ate and ate very healthy and balanced, but I still kept gaining weight. I never became super fat, but I ended up weighing more than I had originally by 25 lbs.

Yes, bulemia does work, but it doesn’t work forever. just like anorexia. it can’t be sustained forever and you will eventually have to stop throwing up, and when you do, you will put yourself in a much worse position than you already are. I look back at the way I looked before I was bulemic and I wish I was that skinny again.

im not a troll.i honestly am thinking about this.why is it that just because im posting anonymously you think im a troll?did you ever think that maybe im ashamed of how i feel so i dont want people to know who i am?i dont mean for this to sound hostile.

Well if your not a ‘troll’ then my first comment still stands. If you think being a sickly stick thin person WHO HAS A DISEASE(since bulimia IS a disease) without any teeth is sexier then a healthy person disease free with nice teeth then bulimia is for you.

Get off your *** and work out. be healthier, not stupider.
