Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?
yes! you shuld never harm your body like that, you were given the body you have for a reason. i urge you to stop, but it will be a serious problem if it continues, it sounds dorky but love your body!! embrace everything in it!! look in the mirror and play some alanis morissette (i'm a bitch)-sry for the language, its the name
if that doesnt work then go to a group session and talk to some1 about it, if not your parents.
i hope everything works out, REMEMBER love your body...its yours-don't mess it up

i think it is very wrong for you to be eatin and then throwin it up..if your gonna throw it up why eat?!?! that is very wrong! you dont have to starve urself only because you dont want to be fat.. thats horrible and ridicious...people should take you for who you are and if they dont they dont really care about you...you could lose weight by excersing daily and eat but a small portion..you should go to the doctor if you see that you keep eatin and throwin it up..thats really wrong and its harm to your body!!!hope i could help...

I'm a plus size model but yes being healthy is good but binging is bad you can get yellow teeth and your skin will sag look their is a way to healthy eat RIGHT LIKE FISH RICE eat small portions and exercise three times a week you run 3 moles you lose 300 calories what you see on magazines and in the malls they want you buy and want you bee like that we all cant be the same be you no one can mold us in to perfection being confident and being happy is the main key to life.if you don't eat they will force to put you in the hospital you being eating out of tube in your stomach and you'll have a scar from the tube look I'm not trying to scar you but that the truth you body needs food protein eat a banana for breakfast their no fat in a banana make some goals some good ones go to the gym with a friend or something or go for a walk go something right. hope this helps bye now.

Like the person below me said, forcing yourself to throw up is never good for you, so now is the time to stop. Saying that you are going to stop is no good unless you stick to it. It's all about your mental strength. Think things through and think about how much this is making you worry. You dont want to go through your life with bulimia, so stop now before it gets worse.
No for what you were saying about feeling bad for eating bad food after you exercise and feeling like you failed yourself. I exercise a lot, and used to feel bad if i ate a lot after too. It feels like you wasted all the effort, but the truth is that you didnt. Normally, a person burns approx. 1,500 calories a day doing NOTHING. So naturally, a person can eat that many calories and not exercise, and stay the same weight. Let's say you run for an hour and burn 500 calories. If you eat an extra 500 calories, then you will stay they same weight.
So go ahead and eat that piece of cake or bag of chips... just balance it out with exercise and you will be totally fine, stop worrying so much =). Once you stop worrying, there will be no need for making yourself throw up. Hope I helped =)

Forcing yourself to throw up is never good for you, however if you have only done it three times you should be okay..if you stop now.
The way you think is not healthy, and it is best to talk about these feelings with someone. A guidance councelor, therapist, parent,.. someone.
Continue doing this, and you are in trouble. There are many short and long term effects of bulimia, and none of them are good.
Some of the short term effects include teeth erosion and decay from your stomach acids. Did you know that most severe bulimics have to have their teeth capped at some point in their life? You may say you are not a severe bulimic, but if you keep down the path you are on now, one day you will be. Vomiting also causes an electrolyte imbalance which depletes your body of potassium. At first this may just cause muscle spasms and weakness, but later in life it can cause heart attacks.
At some point you may also have tears in your esophagus or experience stomach ulcers.
Some of your organs that you are putting at risk include your heart, kidney, brain, digestive system, bones, skin and endocrine glands.
Your menstruation cycle also gets messed up. If you continue this, you may never be able to conceive a baby. This may not seem like a big deal to you now, but when you are an adult ready to start a family, this will be a huge deal.
