In the past week, ive made myself throw up twice.
Does this make me bulimic?
Because since ive done it, after most meals i feel the need to, but so far ive resisted.
Until a few hours ago.
Help.

You need to tell somebody. It isn't healthy to make yourself throw up. Not only is it unhealthy because of the obvious [weight lose], but it causes A LOT of internal damage as well.
ElbowPuppet answered Tuesday June 24 2008, 4:32 pm: It isn't medically classified as bulimia unless you do it twice a week every week. So, if you were to do this next week too, then yes, you'd be bulimic. My honest answer is, don't do it. If I could go back and redo it, I wouldn't. Because, bulimia is addicting. and scary. I can't stop, and whenever I throw up, it bleeds, and I've basically almost ruptured my esophagus. Just, don't. You aren't bulimic yet, and I greatly advise that you don't become bulimic. If you need additional help, just message me. [ ElbowPuppet's advice column | Ask ElbowPuppet A Question ]

It seems that you've started to have the urge to need to throw up in order not to feel guilty about eating before. See if this keeps up, the eating and then feeling the need to throw up, if so then it could very easily lead to serious illnesses such as bulimia.
