surferlil2002 answered Wednesday March 2 2005, 7:09 pm: don't stop eating, if you think you're getting chubby, then work out, but DON'T do anything unhealty. as for your friend, try talking to her about it. it might just be a rumor, and we all know how much fun those are... and if she is really bulemic, then try to help her get through it, or talk to an adult that you trust and she respects.

Karen answered Wednesday March 2 2005, 7:03 pm: Never ever let yourself get an eating disorder because there are so many other ways to lose weight healthy. You DO NOT need to become bulimic in order to lose weight. This girl is just going through a stage where she thinks eating disorders will help her lose weight and it won't because when she wants to not be bulimic anymore and starts to eat, she will gain all the weight back and she will have so many health problems. If you want to lose weight, you need to EAT and eat healthy. Watch what you eat and exercise daily. If you are starting to get chubby, do some abdominal exercises such as crunches and sit ups and run or jog on a treadmill. Please, do not become bulimic or anorexic because it's unhealthy for you and you will eventually gain all the weight back. I was so close to becoming anorexic not too long ago and I almost hurt my body. Just lose weight healthy, please.

kcx1061 answered Wednesday March 2 2005, 7:03 pm: do NOT think that way. you should help your friend, not join her. you should tell someone about this. i know that you wont want to..but what would you rather have: a friend that is slowly killing herself and you will feel responsible for it OR helping her out? you need to help her. as for you, do not start. its like a drug, bulimia is ADDICTING. and can hurt and kill you. please, do not do this. if you think you are getting chubby, diet and exercise. look up healthy diet plans. buliamia is not the answer. sorry if i sound harsh, i just dont want you to be another statistic. feel free to IM me if your have any problems: KCx1061

Erinn_the_bamf answered Wednesday March 2 2005, 7:01 pm: Do not stop eating! Just because someone else thinks they're fat doesn't mean you are. Don't stop eating even if you are more than "a bit chubby. If you feel you need to lose weight diet and exercise. Never resort to becoming anerioxic or bulliemic (sp?). I hope I heled! ♥ good luck [ Erinn_the_bamf's advice column | Ask Erinn_the_bamf A Question ]
ghostiness answered Wednesday March 2 2005, 6:59 pm: Your friend is bulimic, so now you want to become anorexic to be just like her? No, no, no. Don't encourage the eating disorders, honey. Watch what you eat, sure. Make sure you follow a healthy diet plan of fruits and veggies (and YES CARBS), and be sure to try and involve your friend in your healthy eating habits.
Bulimia will seriously mess you up, and you have a whole life ahead of you. Don't screw up your teeth and throat and digestive system and don't starve your body just to be skinny. [ ghostiness's advice column | Ask ghostiness A Question ]
