Hi,
Bulimia may seem harmless at first but it can really mess you up.For starters it hurts your internal organs. It also hurts your esophagus and makes your cheeks puffy because of the acid in you stomach. It causes your teeth to decay, it callouses the finger you stick down your throat. Also it can delay your reaction time to throwing up.

Once you start such dangerous habits, you may find it hard to stop. Every ciggarette smoker will tell you, they only wanted to try it once or twice, and then they were hooked.
Bringing that stomach acid into your throat often will damage your esophagus and your stomach. Some people eventually lose their gag reflex, and that could kill you.
Bulimia doesn't make you thin. People who do that binge and then purge, meaning they eat too much and try to throw it up. It is an emotional thing that they soon lose control of. And even after throwing it up, you aren't getting rid of all of the calories you consumed. I was watching Dr. Phil or some talk show and a woman actually lost 20 pounds after recovering from bulimia. It can make you gain weight.
Try some excerise if you want to lose weight, its WAY better for your body then throwing up.
