Someone told me I needed to stop this eating disorder because it could kill me but I don't believe them. Then today someone else told me the say exact thing! Can being bulimic kill you or are these people just jealous cause I am a size zero while they are like size 2 or size 3 fat chicks? I think they are fatties who are hating on me. (link)

Bulimia can in fact kill you. One of the more gruesome ways is this: when you throw up, stomach acid eats away at the lining of your esophogas. Eventually this can get so thin that it tears under any sort of pressure, even coughing or sneezing, or when you throw up again. Through the tear, food gets in your lungs and you literally choke on it. You also run the risk of cancer from the esophogeal perforations, heart attack, and type II diabetes. Your stomach acid eats away at your teeth and nutrient deficiencies make your hair brittle and it begins to fall out.
Look, you can get any of this information from any website. Personally, I'd rather be a size 2 or 3 than have all my hair and teeth fall out and run the risk of pulmonary edema. Eating disorders have been glamorized in our culture when they're actually not glamorous - they're ugly, terrible diseases that claim the lives of people who struggle with them every day.You can be thin and beautiful without this disease, you don't need it. Please seek help - you don't want to become a prisoner of this disease.
I hope this helps.
Love,
Pollux
