advice
i became being belimic a little bit ago because im starting to dislike my eating habits. dont worry im probably going to eat reguarly soon. i havent researched it that much but i was wondering how throwing up is bad for you? i mean, the food goes down in your stomach and takes nutrients out of the food but all it does is make the rest come up again. whats wrong with that? the excess food exit the body later anyway. just in a different way.
well, the only way food breaks don is when stomach acid breaks it down. when you throw up- wether youre making yourself throw up- or when youre sick, or anytime- that stomach acid is coming right back up. after time- it can damage your esophagus, and especially the enamel on your teeth. if you do it long enough- your body will kind of become immune to throwing up, and when you dont expect it, you could throw up dry heaves if theres nothing in your stomach. this means that bile from your liver, and mucus lining your stomach will come up, and IT IS PAINFUL! all in all- bulemia is serious. and there is no playing around with it. if you are in fact bulemic- you shoudl definetely go see a doctor. but mainly- BE HAPPY WITH THE BODY GOD GAVE YOU- youre damaging both your mind and your body when you change your eating habits in such a drastic way. really hope i helped. keep in touch and let me know whats hapnin. im praying for ya'. spitfire9631@yahoo.com
(Rating: 5) thanks for the facts. and the support. its a little hard but im getting through. im underweight already so i guess i can just eat without throwing up for a while. i mean, eating is better then doing all that damage to my throat etc.
thanks again.
