can you become bulimic by accident? like not even realising why your throwing up but having big 'binges' when ur unhappy and throwing up as a reflex action?

Hey,
im taylor,im 12, and im thinkin about becoming a bulimic. the thought scares me,but when i think about being skinny makes me happy. im really scared of becoming bulimic becuz of all the bad things i have heard. but i jus want to be SKINNY and its hard to loose weight when ur a kid leaving with ur mom and u cant go out and by ur own food and i ask mi mom can u please buy healthy foods and she jus blows me off.so i think becoming bulimic wil help.
but im still having doubts
does any1 have any suggestions for me ??

Taylor, please don't think you "need" to be skinny. I'm 20, and I've only just started getting to the place where I'm happy with my body. You can exercise to be HEALTHIER, but know that within a few years, you will probably lose weight naturally. When I was 14, I dropped 20 pounds for no reason, just because it was a stage in life. Hang in there.

Hi guys
I'm an anorexic in recovery - doing okay, but it's never easy. PLEASE PLEASE for your sakes, don't let this keep going. My condition was caught early and I got treatment within a year of becoming sick (yes, eating disorders are a SICKNESS, it's not that you're crazy or stupid). The longer you wait, the worse it will get. Talk to someone, anyone, you trust.
Mae completely said it - you don't need to be skinny to be happy. Taylor, would your mom maybe listen harder if you told her how you're feeling about becoming bulimic? It's really hard if you have to live with someone who won't listen - but try everything you can to stay healthy. And as you grow and your body changes, you will change shape a lot - I know some girls who wouldn't have been one of the "skinny girls" up through like 8th grade, but once they hit high school they became such gorgeous young ladies it's hard to believe they're the same people they were.
For you girls losing weight - I know how scary it is. You're not alone though, and I'm sure you can find someone to help you. Even if you just have a friend you can trust, and you call them when you feel the need to purge - have them talk to you, distract you, anything.
I wish you all the best - it's a hard road to recovery, but it is SO worth it.

just eat food and dont throw it back up. Theres your answer.

I work out non-stop. I bike 15 miles a day, run 3 miles, and swim about 1500 meters. I also make myself throw up if I eat after 9 o'clock. I don't see anything wrong with throwing up if you've eaten too much especially if it's late at night. As long as you make sure your teeth are brushed you're fine. Being bulimic isn't bad for you as long as you controll it.

If you eat TOO much just throw it up! Otherwise you'll be fat. Who wants to be fat? No one.

Problem solved. Working out + throwing up = perfect body!

Cait - well, I can't agree that you know bulimia isn't bad if you control it -'cause it sounds like it's in much more control of you than you are of it. And great if you can exercise that much - I wouldn't go back to an eating disorder, since now that I don't think about food and exercise all the time, I have a LIFE filled with people I love and activities I enjoy.

And you may brush your teeth...but what's that hydrochloric acid doing to your esophagus? Of course, don't forget that once your body goes into starvation mode it thinks it's not going to get all the nutrients it needs, and it'll put on everything you eat as fat.

Well I don't know how you would become bulimic on purpose... It's a lot more involved than binging cuz ur "unhappy" and having a reflex but I am sure u know that... anyways there is a mental process going on too- while you are aware of what you are doing physicaly, much of is directly related to mental/emotional issues. srry if that's long, just tryin to help
:)

You cant just become bulimic, and you shouldnt want to be .. its nto a healthy lifestyle!!
People dont just become bulimic or anorexic, they feel they have to

im 12 years old and bulimic. i think i have been for about 2 years but i started to hate the way i looked when i was about 8. no one has ever found out exept once when i accidently told my friend. she didn't take it seriosly though. she though it meant i was just on a diet, that or she doesnt give a f*** about me. thats more likely. i have tried to kill myself twice in the past year but was just knocked out for about 12 hours both times. no one found out. that just shows what im worth...

thats what bulimia is.. the rest mostly wanted to become bulimic by the sound of what they said.. to those people THAT IS NOT BULIMIA!

Your not the only one.
I'm 12 almost 13 and i've become a bulimic.
i'm getting help and i'm glad to say that i haven't puked in a whole 3 months

hey my names elaina, I'm 18. I was annorexic for a year and now turned a bulimic annorexic. My family doesnt know and since I've lost weight they've been giving me gifts of "food". Its horrible....I wouldn't of started throwing up if I didn't get a box of chocolates daily in the mail from my sister or if my dad didn't cook me a special meal of "waffle friends, onion rings, and reeces cake"...i dont know why they constantly want to shove these bad food in my face...they get mad at me if i dont eat it an then get in my face like i didnt eat enough when i eat something healthy...it's confusing the hell out of me and I've just been trying to get my calorie range normal (1300 calories a day) but then they keep trying to push me over the limit with litterallly tons of junk and boxes of peanut butter and i cut back to 300 calories a day

Hey guys and girls..
i hav never chatted on this disscusion thing before but i must admit you are all so honest about your illnesses and thats important.
i am 16 and i was anorexic when i was 15 and it was a nightmare and it is sooo horrable but you need to retrain your mind.. see a pychiatrist .. do whatever it takes.. i feel for everyone that goes threw this.. i am currently not anorexic.. but im bulemic and thats bad too. im not skinny though im normal.. i eat fine but when i get stressed i duno how to deal with things and i just binge out and throw it up and i go crazy and get myself in a state and it awful and i feel like shit and its so negative!!
and it fucks up ur life! and you have to stop it.
i guess its better than being ano but still.
i duno what to say.
you all seem to know everything that goes on.
and i guess im in no possition to tell you all to stop your nonsense and get on eith it because thats not what it comes down to. you have to sort out the bigger issues. and get ur mind right.
i need to do that to.
and allso i hav to say that CBT!! cognative behaviour therapy is sooo useful!!!! look it up or something or ask ur phycologist about it but i found it amazing!!!!
