Could I be bulimic, how can you tell? I talked to my friend she used to be bulimic and she stopped because she got poisoning and it caused her to hate throwing up. I don’t want this to be a way that stops me. I am seeing a therapist for other reason, but even though I am getting help, I still find myself running to the bathroom.
Yes, it is possible, but why do you see therapist? I realized it a while ago I'm bulimic. I was in denial for a long time. It started as just throwing up when I ate too much or was too full, but now it's when ever I eat something that's not fat free or isn't healthy. But I can't control what I eat. I want to get better, but I want to look and feel thin!
I've been throwing up on & off since my first child was born in 99. I don't do it every day just when I'm full or overate. I can go days without throwing up. Does that still qualify me with an eating disorder?
I do that too... but I don't know if it's an eating disorder.. I'm a little over weight and gain weight fast... so every time I over eat I throw up so much that nothing comes out. !
I have been battling bullimia and anorexea for 15 yrs. In my case it started similar to you all. And true that you don't have to throw up everyday is pretty much how it starts. It will become something that u have to do every time you eat if your not carefull. I would suggest trying to eat much slower when you do eat. This will allow your body to actually feel when you are full. These are very dangerous diorders! It is not easy to stop once you've started. It will take controll over your entire life. I have found for myself that I didn't feel like I had much controll in my life and this was the only thing that I could. In the begining anyways. But as time went on I no longer had the controll. The disease did! For me it also had alot to do with me not having any self esteam. And distorted thoughts as to how I feel I look like and what I actually look like to others. I would suggest that you try and find a counsler to talk to about what you can do to try and help yourselves. It amy not seem like it at the time but ove time I think you will find it benifical. I hope you all take care of yourselves. And my prayers are with you!
BULIMIC: if you are consuming food and then purging afterwards to rid yourself of the calories or food you just ate If you are bulimic then yes tell your therapist about it it is a mental/ emotional problem your right you dont want to stop like her or have to stop cuz you start throwing up blood which is what stopped me everytime you throw up you burn the lining in your throat and it tears up your stomach lining you will foerever have acid reflux you will have a sensative gag reflex you will be more likely for any throat disease or cancer because its torn up
