reader, anonymous, writes (25 April 2010): Ok I too was a bulimic and I quit about 5 years ago. It is something that is very hard to stop and it unfortunately is something that you will NEVER stop thinking about. As much as everyone is saying go to the doctor really that wont help because lets face it who cares what the doctor thinks I didn't. What helped me through it was having one person who I was close with who helped me by talking to me. They talked to me when I was trying to stop and was there when I messed up and did it again. You need to find someone you trust and can depend on and get help from them.
Someone said something about teeth that's not true if you brush after throwing up however the big concern here is your stomach. I threw up (only once a day because that's the only time I would eat) for one year before I stopped. Two years after I stopped I was diagnosed with acid reflux, because of the bulimia, and I have tons of blisters in my throat and stomach that at any time could rupture and become ulcers. Everyone told me bulimia would hurt my body and all I thought was yeah but i wont see that for a long time but it only took two years.
Find someone who can support you and help you work through all this. Also if you can there is a book that's pretty cheap about $10-$15 that is called "Wasted" by Marya Hornbacher. Its a memoir written by her about her experience and that book helped me a lot so if you can get it try to.

You realise youa ren't fat, and you realise sthat puking it all up is bad, btw it rots your teeth majorly so have fun with that not! You just need to stop bingeing, why do you feel a compulsive need to devour the fridge! ? You don't need to, just control waht you do , when you eat don't over eat, it's just stupid, especially as noone is that hungry! Well not someone froma priveliged country like yours

Plenty of people have had this before, and have all managed to break free from it. Coming here was a good start, but you need to speak to your doctor about this, so they can help you in a more safe and worthwhile manner. good luck.

You have an illness.
You need to see a doctor, just as you would do if you came down with an infection.
You can get through this, but you need real help, not just internet advice.
Good Luck!! xx
