Do I have bulimia???
Okay so I dint really know. I don't want to think I do but again I don't know. Here's my situation: like at the beginning of this year I was making myself puke after about 1 meal a day. I went to the renfrew center a couple of times for therapy but never really followed through. I said I would stop and did for about a month or two. I sort of feel like I just covered it up and the actual problem never really got addressed. I get told so much that I am not fit even though I can run 10 miles on one day and am in normal range for my height and weight. So anyway I have begun now to purge 2-3 meals a day and bing and purge about 3 times a week. Wow this is sealing really bad now that I put it all together. Okay so do I have bulimia or not? I have been doing this for like 4 months.
Am i going bald or is it from bulimia help!?
Before I was 16 my hair was so thick, you could try to comb or brush it and it would be so hard to brush through because it was soo thick. A few months into being 16 i started throwing up after meals and at night ,so i was bulimic. I threw up so much when i would stand up i would be so dizzy and i would sleep all day. So a few months into bulimia my grandma noticed my hair was thinning on the top, then about a month later my hair got thin all over the top and the back of the head. Like 2 months later my hair was so thin when I ran my fingers through it you could see my scalp. My hair got alot greasier, and i lost alot of weight. I stopped bulimia due to my hair loss and its been 2 years since i stopped bulimia. I have not yet seen a difference in my hair getting thicker, So i was wondering if my hair was going bald? or do i have to wait more years? It sucks because I have to comb my hair if the wind gets to it because you can see my scalp. Please help me I don't know if i am going bald or not ,because i do not have a receding hairline , my hairline is good just looks like i am going bald!
Will bulimia help me get skinny?
Yes. Although it is very unhealthy to do so. 3 months is plenty of time to alter your diet and implement a regular exercise routine. Eating 5-6 Small meals a day and regular exercise speed up your metabolism. Expend more calories that you take in. You have to be very, very realistic about your goals. I am certain that a HEALTHY diet and even 1 HOUR of cardio a day will make a realistic difference. Good luck : )

Do i have bulamia, Help please!?
I have days where i eat loads if no-ones home, then i won't eat for days and will exercise and drink water to burn it off because i want to lose weight, and when i eat loads I want to throw up but can't because my mum will shout at me. My friends think I have bulimia, what should I do and is this bulimia?
Bulimia help - people who have experience?
I've been there (with eating disorders) and with friends. And you know what someone had to tell me... You're not special! Nobody on the planet earth can just deal with bulemia... sorry... You need to seek professional help that's why it's out there. That voice inside your head is the same voice that got you into this eating disorder to begin with. On top of that it's not easy for anyone to seek help... but you have to do it. The longer you wait the worse it's going to get. Please tell someone soon... Good luck
How can I become bulimic? I want to have some control in my life.
The beginning of an addiction can be exciting. However, the further effects of it literally kill you or ruin your whole life.You say you want some control in your life. Well, that’s good because eating disorders do not make your life less chaotic. It’s quite the opposite, actually. They make you do things you wouldn’t have done if you weren’t sick.You start doing disgusting things- playing with your goddamn vomit in the shower when you ‘take a break’ from throwing up because your body can’t handle it anymore or because you start throwing up blood.You won’t even realize how aggressive you are when someone asks you what you’ve eaten today.Simple tasks become impossible because your body is too weak to do them. And no, you don’t even have to be thin to have those effects.Also, I hope you’re aware of the fact that you’re more likely to gain weight from throwing up, as this makes you eat even more ‘because you’re going to throw it all up’, right? Well, not really. Studies have shown that most people throw up 50%, if not less when the vomiting is self-induced.I will definitely not tell you how to throw up because if I did, you would have wished no one ever taught you this. It will cause your life to become worse.The criteria for bulimia nervosa can be found online or in the DSM-V, however it is not healthy for you to know this as you would want to fit in this category. And do not get me wrong- I really get where you are coming from. The thought of eating big amounts of food without gaining weight seems amazing! Of course it is all a lie, since- like I already said- it makes more people gain weight rather than lose. What it does do to all people is ruin their future.There is no future where there is an eating disorder. The irony of this illness is that you think you’ll be in control but then the illness will take over your thoughts, life and hope. You’ll lose it all.I would highly encourage you to get help, even if you aren’t ready yet. You could work with your future therapist on managing the thoughts you have and making you feel less bad about yourself, thus being less likely to binge (if you do it already).My inbox is always open if you want someone to talk to, because this illness is the most isolating this I’ve ever encountered. Also, remember that these answers are not written through hate or rage because you asked a question like this but because of how much people want to avoid having one more person who’s life quality is going to spiral down.
