I was belimic and I was hospitalized for it. I ended up in rehab for about 9 months but that was only because
Mine was really bad. All I know is that talking to someone about it helps and with talking to someone about it
Hopefully they will tell you that it is okay to think that you are bigger it's just the way your body grows. You should just keep a good attitude and don't pick yourself apart. I hope I helped any of questions feel free to inbox me.

i was bulimic for about a year and a half. it started slowly and eventually creeped its way into my every thought. i was throwing up every meal i ate and would binge for the sole purpose of throwing it up. i was sick. i wasnt able to get over it untill i got to college and began playing my sport (D1). For me it was the constant exercise that made me tell myself that I NEEDED to eat healthy AND keep it down. if i hadnt i would not have made it past the first week of conditioning. i feel amazing now that food isnt on my mind 24/7.
you need to either get help or really really make some changes. most people cant get over bulimia without help. its just too hard. in my case i was able to get over it because of my situation, and too be honest i have never felt better in my life. if you want any more information about my journey please feel free to message me. i know personally how horrible bulimia is. and i got over it.
just always keep hope. always.

Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder and therefore a psychiatric condition in which a person binge eats or otherwise consumes significantly large amounts of food at a time and then purging what was just consumed. A smaller percentage will, instead or purging the consumed food, will excessively exercise it off or fast. Abuse of laxatives is also common. The reasons or contributing factors of bulimia are similar to that of anorexia nervosa.
People with bulimia are much more likely to develop affective disorders such as depression, general anxiety disorder and even substance abuse. There are many symptoms of bulimia such as: Cardiac problem, esophagus inflammation and tearing, ulcers, infertility, constipation, gastroparesis, dental erosion, etc.
Treatment is usually psychotherapy in conjunction with drugs (though this is wholly dependent upon the individual and the severity of the disorder as well as any additional problems i.e depression.)
Your best mode of conduct is to see your general practitioner (GP) right away and they will be able to assess whether you will need psychiatric help as well as other ways in managing the problem. There are many different forms of help out there for you and your GP will help you decide which course of action would be the best for you.
Voice your concerns and trust the people to help you before it escalates.
