Healthy or not?


Question Posted Friday September 1 2006, 9:19 pm

I'm 14/f if that helps.

I've lost about 5lbs in 2 weeks. I'm getting happy with the results (exercising and eating correctly)

But I keep exact count of my calories everyday nowadays. I usually have about 900calories for breakfast and lunch and less than 1000 calories for dinner. But if I feel like I've ate too much during dinner and wasn't able to know how much calories I've consumed, I make myself throw up. I've done that several times. I mean I'm not aiming to be pro ana or anything. I just feel disgusted whenever I'm not able to know how much I ate. (Calorie wise and such)

Do I have a problem?

Yes. You have an eating disorder. Chat with a parental figure and also your doctor in addition to a nutritionist to find out exactly what you need to do to keep this from getting more serious.

Not yet. But you're playing a dangerous game.

Forcing yourself to throw up even occasionally can have an effect, first and foremost on your teeth. Every time you upchuck, you're bathing them in hydrochloric acid, which can erode enamel very quickly. It's not good for the rest of your digestive tract either. Inducing vomiting releases certain chemicals into the bloodstream that are hard on your heart, and over time that can do damage.

You are at the point right now when you can make a conscious decision to stop, and that will be the end of it. Do not take the chance that this will be something you can control; every person with bulemia thinks that at the beginning, and a lot of them are wrong by the end.

If your goal is to be healthy, then don't start down this road. It can kill you.

eek, you might be heading down the road to bulimea, when a girl binges then perges. meaning they eat alot of food then throw it up. you on the other hand eat normal. but throwing up after you eat is not a good thing at all. if it becomes a habit you will become VERY ill. i sugest instead of that, maybe exercise what you ate off. though i don't seem to see a reason why for this. talk to your mom or your doctor, i think that owuld be a better choice.
