I am a very skinny girl, but sometimes when I am anxious or I have eaten to much or I eat alot of sugar or fatty things I make myself throw up. I don't throw up alot of food, though and I don't think that I've gotten to the point where I am a bulimic. I know that it's really not healthy though, so I haven't done it in about six weeks but I always want to, and I feel like Im on the verge. I really don't want to talk to anyone at home about it b/c I don't want to go to rehab because the problem isn't that serious. What do I do?

Or if your totally not up for that, tell one of you best closest friends at least so that they know and then whenever you are really really feeling like you need to make yourself throw up, then you would have someone to talk to. It is a very serious thing, so plz try to get some kind other kind of help too. and im sure your a very pretty gurl and you have to be very skinny so theres nothing to worry about, and you asking for help and trying not to do it anymore means you are a very strong girl. If you ever want to talk let me know, im here for you. I hope everything works out well.

xxAdviceGirlxx answered Thursday August 19 2004, 3:00 am: OK! If you feel like you WANT 2 or HAVE 2 then you probably have 2 tell someone close 2 you(like a mom or dad)... It COULD be serious but at the same time it COULD NOT be serious... But just 2 be safe, tell your parents...

xo_dream answered Thursday August 19 2004, 2:08 am: If you feel like you want to do it, I'd say just talk to someone [[ a counselor, anyone you trust + think could help you out ]] about it. They're not going to hospitalize you or anything unless you do it on a regular basis + you're super unhealthy. You just need to talk it out and figure out a way to keep yourself from doing it any more. [ xo_dream's advice column | Ask xo_dream A Question ]
alderworth1 answered Wednesday August 18 2004, 8:58 pm: well i would suggest doing what ever u have to do to stop cause being belimic not only is bad nutrtionaly but when u throw up u are pukeing up stomach acids and the food thats why it tastes so bad but when u throw up ur stomach acids it can cause holes in ur throat which are called pockets and what happens is when u try to eat certain foods will get caught in those pockets and cause u to choke and throw it up so i would suggest doing what ever u need to do to stop this
advice_chica answered Wednesday August 18 2004, 2:48 pm: well since you do like throwing up and u haven't done it for at lease 6 weeks you should probably say ok every 6 weeks I'll make myself throw up once...and if you start to notice you're puking liquid go see your doctor cuz it can be acid from your stomach and thats not a good thing to puke
spoiledx3shortii answered Wednesday August 18 2004, 2:47 pm: Being bulimic is horrible.. if you are already skinny think about it.. there is NO reason to become skinnier.. You should tell a counselor at school or a parent.. they will both work to help you.. even if the problem isnt *that serious*
Hope i helped!
RATE ME!

the_haha_boat answered Wednesday August 18 2004, 2:08 pm: If you know your skinny then why are you doing it? Your throat can go through some serious stress by throwing up so much, and even get to the point where it bleeds. To undo some of the effects of belemia can cost thousands of dollars. Take our advice and stop asap. [ the_haha_boat's advice column | Ask the_haha_boat A Question ]
icey0990 answered Wednesday August 18 2004, 1:53 pm: Your skinny! Just always remember that..theres no reason for you to make yourself throw up. Talk to a good friend about it. Read up about it online..maybe theres a phone number to call? Talk to someone who is confidential and wont tell. Maybe a counselor or a doctor.
Good luck! [ icey0990's advice column | Ask icey0990 A Question ]
