The WHY doesn't really matter (does it?) You need to accept that you DO have it, and then try to change it. Often the "why's" of things only ever become apparent long after you have been able to improve and move on. You really really do not need to understand WHY you are like it before you can change.

Does anyone KNOW? Are you getting any support? This illness breeds on secrecy and shame....

Please go to your GP and tell them because its REALLY important that you have your electrolytes check and checked on a regular basis.

Good luck, keep fighting..... just keep trying. xxxx

Im listening but something aint hitin home. Yoy might ave problems , get a grip while you still can.

The way we act and think doesnt always come from traumatic experiences, we all have core beliefs that we arent aware of until we delve deeper, usually with thearapy. I would recommend you do a search on Mindfulness, it may help you stop the urge to vomit, also get on a cognative therapy course, group or individual, you could learn loads, and will have nothing to loose. Our self perseption isnt always right or doesnt have justification of evidence. Hope things improve for you.

Go see a psychologist

It's very likely that you're simply insecure and unhappy with your self image, hence why you want to be thinner. I blame the media. Throw away your glamour magazines. Stop idolizing the super models.

Confidence > weight.

You're bulimic because you dont believe that you really are a beautiful, strong, wonderful person. And you should. You need to stop caring about how fat you think you are, and actually make yourself MORE beautiful by getting healthy and working out. Eating WELL and keeping it down. Drink a lot of water. Eat a well balanced diet and get a hair cut. by a new outfit.... seriously.

If you can push this out for two months, eating perfectly, keeping it down, going for jobs, working out, enjoying the sun, enjoying life, You will feel better, you will look better, and you will stop feeling so down on yourself.

There are ways to stop it. And your brain is the most powerful weapon against disorders such as these. You're smarter than you think just by questioning this, and you're stronger than you'll ever know just by wanting to fix it.

So do it.

And we are all rooting for you in the process.

Good luck.

you started doing it, and people complimented you on loosing wieght so you comtinued becuase you liked the praise, and now well you dont want to stop/ cant! but you might not realsie it,..
but ther are many explainations.
dont feel alone,,,
but their is plently of help and id adivse you get some.
good luck,,, xxx

it can just be from wanting to be thin - that's what the media portrays women to be. please go talk to someone - they really can help you. i was anorexic for 3 years and i have a lot of problems from it - don't let this go too far. bulimia can really mess up you insides and deteriorate your teeth.

its people telling you that you are fat, its you not seeing you like you are in the mirror, its you punishing yourself for something you think youve done wrong. Give up, get help before you get to the next step of harming yourself. It is not nice. I had it and i harm myself really bad. I gave up by going away from my family and mirrors and not help. I just thought i was hurting my mum and i didnt want to be a problem for her. I thought of how i was hurting others by being sick, how much worries i could cause. Go on, you can do it, your body doesnt matter, it matters what it is in your heart.

Hi,
I am a recovering bulimic, like you I never thought there was a reason appart from wanting to be skinny but there can be uncouncous underlying reasons behind your behaviour that working with a counsellor could help you discover. I think sometimes it is just the case that because of pressure from society, most women want to be skinny and that is a valid enough reason to put behind your illness! However it's usually when bulimia is not seen as the actual illness but as a symptom that it's thought there are more underlying problems, but everyones different. It is often the most intellegent and so called 'happy' people that end up having problems....infact most people with eating disorders are high achievers and perfectionists....they don't have to be people with major problems that cause the illness..everyone is unique.

best of luck xxx

The root of most eating disorders lie in the wanting to have control over something in your life because something in your life feels out of control. Do some soul searching as to what you feel in your life is out of your control and find a good therapist.

you may have an addictive personality trait. you may even find that another member of your family has the same thought patterns. contact the eating disorders association online.your teeth will be badly damaged and you can have heart failure during vomiting. do you really want your loving family to find you dead in the toilet in a pool of blood? I'm sure they would prefer you got help. feeling fat is not the same as being fat. all women feel fat some days..usually a hormonal fluctuation makes us bloat. do not make friends with other people who do this...talk to someone please or see your gp

from expierence, its all just a personal opinion of yourself. and you cant compare yourself to others EVER. thattts where the eds come from.

I don`t think there is an answer to the reason why your bulimic, i mean why do people drink too much or for that matter eat too much??? All i can say is that all people are what they are, being fat,thin,black,white,asian, whatever we are all the same so just relax and try being comfortable with yourself and see how you go
Take care Xx

Its not anything to do with your family, its nothing to do with your lifestyle. Its just part of you, go to the doctor and get some help... they will help sort it, or at least try to help you get through it! good luck with it!

Go and see your Doctor and try to get some counselling to help you out with this and before you do some serious damage to yourself. You are worth so much more than this and, with help, you will be able to stop.

I tried the barf-a-rama thing when I was a teen. I'd put on some weight, think I was fat..so, I'd eat any thing I wanted, then go puke! Food really does feel better going down! Your'e obviously at an age where your self image is so important, but distorted. Your family's awesome, life is good, but there's a control issue goin' on inside you. Your not abnormal, just need to look deep inside yourself.Tell mom, or dad. I almost guarantee they will be there to help you as they have and will always, ok? hugs to ya. oooooooooooooooooo
