yes, laxatives only dehydrate you to get rid of water weight. the only problem is, that if you drink water, the weight comes right back. everyone has water weight, so you can't fix yours. dehydrating yourself only leads to nausea, and felling sick. try working out and eating healthy, because that wil control your regular weight. don't use the laxatives.

yes.
I wish I remembered the name, but its an eating disorder similar to bulimia, except from the other end. all of the same dangers apply. also, laxitives are a medicine, something you should only take when you trully need it. aside from dehydration danger, you could also become dependant and lose your ability to poo without them.
