Someone told me I needed to stop this eating disorder because it could kill me but I don't believe them. Then today someone else told me the say exact thing! Can being bulimic kill you or are these people just jealous cause I am a size zero while they are like size 2 or size 3 fat chicks? I think they are fatties who are hating on me.
Anyways, what you need to do is see a psychologist. You have a very hardcore perception of body image, and it is going to kill you if you keep up. You will die if you don't get the help that you need to turn your life around.
pollux answered Monday November 16 2009, 1:00 am: Bulimia can in fact kill you. One of the more gruesome ways is this: when you throw up, stomach acid eats away at the lining of your esophogas. Eventually this can get so thin that it tears under any sort of pressure, even coughing or sneezing, or when you throw up again. Through the tear, food gets in your lungs and you literally choke on it. You also run the risk of cancer from the esophogeal perforations, heart attack, and type II diabetes. Your stomach acid eats away at your teeth and nutrient deficiencies make your hair brittle and it begins to fall out.
Look, you can get any of this information from any website. Personally, I'd rather be a size 2 or 3 than have all my hair and teeth fall out and run the risk of pulmonary edema. Eating disorders have been glamorized in our culture when they're actually not glamorous - they're ugly, terrible diseases that claim the lives of people who struggle with them every day.You can be thin and beautiful without this disease, you don't need it. Please seek help - you don't want to become a prisoner of this disease.

Bulimia can definitely kill you. It can cause cardiac arrest, kidney failure or even death by starvation.
Not only that, but it ruins your teeth (how sexy is gum disease? You may be thin, but at least those fatties have all their teeth!) and causes ulcers and ruptures in the esophagus.
You've got a problem, and you recognize it. It's called a disorder for a reason. You have a messed up way of looking at your body and the bodies of others. Not only should you work on your eating disorder, you should get psychological help for your body image issues. [ NinjaNeer's advice column | Ask NinjaNeer A Question ]

azndude09 answered Sunday November 15 2009, 8:28 pm: Yes bulimia can kill you. There have been numerous female deaths due to bulimia. It's not healthy and I suggest you eat right instead of just barfing out what you eat. Fruits and vegetables can help you lose weight the healthier way. Also eating low carb foods can help. Being bulimic does not lead you anywhere but the emergency room so I suggest you eat right. If your bulimia worsens, go seek medical help right away.
