On the vurge of becoming a bulimic or anorexic

Dont let anyone talk you into going bulimic or anerexic. Some people cant say one nice thing about someone. Next time someone says something about your weight tell them that you are who you are and if they dont like it they can bug off.

ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS IF THESE PEOPLE are NOT SUPPORTING U, FEEDING U, PUTTING CLOTHES ON your BACK… WHO GIVES A FLYIN EFF WHAT THEY SAY? SCREW THEM! IF you R HAPPY THE WAY you R, SO B IT. AND IF you DID LOSE THE WEIGHT, WHAT? are THEY going TO REWARD U? NO. THINK FOR URSELF AND DO WHAT MAKES you HAPPY. DONT WORRY ABOUT WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY.

Hey, I’m the same way. It’s like you have to be a certain size just to be accepted. I’m dieting, losing weight, yet people say it’s not enough. I wouldn’t go with bulimia, maybe anorexic, but I’d rather kill myself first, cause neither one of those are good. Just eat low calorie foods, I eat 800/day and exercise 5 times a week.

Well, gosh, all I can say is that really sucks! You need to surround yourself with some different people if you can. I know its hard not to listen and let people get you down, especially if you start to hear their critical comments even when they aren’t there with you. I’d like to just let you know what you’re getting yourself into if you go down the road to bulimia though, having been there myself…

bulimia will not always help you lose weight. I didnt lose any weight overall. I wont lie… I’ve weighed myself before and after throwing up and at the outset you do. overall though you just end up eating more and overcompensating (or I did). it made my hair fall out and now its unhealthy and stribbly looking, it gives you weird cravings, and most of all makes you feel terrible about yourself. its terribly inconvenient… you have to try and find places and times to throw up when no one around to hear, which is very hard sometimes. this is especially hard when it gets so ingrained in your mind that you dont feel like you have a choice. the desperate feeling in that situation is indescribable and often inescapable. when your done your throat burns, you stink, and your eyes and face are red and swollen from the strain so you have to hide for a while afterwards too. its lonely. you hide before, during, and after, and that whole process can take a long time. the other thing is that the whole deal with the electrolytes screwing your heart up is true. im (or was) a healthy girl… live on a farm and have always played and worked hard with no problems. I never took the serious sounding things seriously… like “could cause heart arythmia or sudden death” seriously. sounds too over-dramatic right? yea, until I started actually experiencing it. I’d be doing something normal and all of a sudden my heart would make weird throbbing and thumping feelings… I could feel my heart go weird! scared the crap out me.

my parents know I was bulimic and were so upset… sent me to counseling and all kinds of things. it really put a strain on our relationship and worse on the relationship I had with my brother. he’s like my best friend ever… we’ve been through everything together: our parents divorce, camp, school, everything. suddenly it was like we were strangers. and all this because I wanted to lose a little weight, which didnt even happen.

Dont give in to what people want you to do…my weight is as well not at its best and im trying to fix it but I certainly would never consider lowering myself mentally to this point…Trust me its not worth it, dont listen to what other people say, in this world the only one you can count on is yourself, you must be independant. No matter how hard it is in life. Bulemia is not the best way of going about this, it is a very serious and addictive disease, once you start then become happy with your weight your less likely to stop. Try bushwalking with family/friends, dieting (cutting out sugary food stick to greens, vegies,fruit …cut out white bread, fatty snacks things like that… But please I urge you not to become bulemic , it is not the right option and you arnt without choices, just dont listen to these people, learn to love and accept yourself and nothing in life will ever faze you again…Best of luck!

Try dieting & excersise – it may not be the quickest way to lose weight, but it WORKS & it’s actually HEALTHY.
