Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Nutrition?
when you vomit you usually sweat alot and sometimes excercise, first of all know offense what your doing to your body isn't right. You need to cut one thing at a time like being bulimic. You need help, plus you need to admit your problem to your family and friends. You need help before that acne will go away.
