i've been bulimic for a year as of november 2007 so a little over a year. what effects of that have/might have happened to me already? i never notice anything. i know it's not right but i don't know what to do and i don't really want to stop. i know it's wrong but and i know i don't think normally about food. i either don't eat some days or i eat so much i can't handle it and purge. well i do that with everything i eat basically. i don't know what to do. i just want to know what could happen to me and what already could've happened to me because of this?

Your teeth will rot because of stomach acid.
Your hair will get dull and brittle.
You could stop having your period (which extremely bad for you: get to a doctor if that happens).
Your skin will get dry and baggy like an old woman's.
Your bone mass will decrease, making you more vulnerable to osteoporosis later in life.
You will become ill in general because you aren't getting the nutrients you need.
Your boobs will get smaller along with the rest of you.
If you go on long enough, you absolutely will die. Your body just isn't meant to or able to survive without food.
