Bulimia Emergency Question

[marron13]

I'm a bulimic. I've been inducing myself to vomit and using laxatives almost 4  to 6 times a week for a few months now. I made myself vomit today. After that i drank a lot of water and ran and a few hours after my vomiting, my body temperature went up, I gained about 6 to 9 pounds, my lower head aches, and my mind is not functioning normally. I feel really out of it, and almost dazed. Can you please tell me what happening to me??? Thank you

I totally agree with North hampton girl. You are early in the game, so if you can stop, please stop! If not, you need to get help from a psychiatrist and a dietician.

Well, from what I know.. many cases of bulimia start off this way. Simply, Dear, you have no energy left! How do you expect to function without the proper nutrients and food? You can't lose weight by not eating, or throwing up. You can, but eventually you will gain or your body will be at a stand still. Someone very close to me suffers bulimia. It takes a long time to recover from it. A few months?! If you let this get the best of you, it will run your life for a few more years at least or possibly even the rest of your life. The usually recovery process can take years. If you have any way to save yourself and back out now, then by all means.. do so. It's the smart thing to do.  What are your reasons for trying to bulimia thing? When you don't eat, your body enters starvation mode.. where it will take the nutrients and fats that it is taking in.. and store it for as long as possible because your body knows it won't get anymore nutrients for a long time. It's trying to run on this little bit of energy and doesn't want to let it go. That's how you gain weight.

     If bulimia is a battle for control with yourself. control of weight. Control for the fact that no one else can control it. && if it's basically a big power struggle, then let up on it. Because no matter how much you feel you have control... pretty soon you won't.. and no one else will either. You're early in the game.--> --> -->Quit now. <-- <-- <-- or you'll end up losing a lot more than just weight.
