In fact, most bulimics are about ten to twenty pounds overweight because we tend to binge before a purge. That binge gets absorbed IMMEDIATELY by our stomachs, making it impossible to throw up all the binge. The purges make the binges come more often. So, stop.
Try bringing some spirituality into your body. The reason I'm saying this is because my body is not connected with anything spiritual so it's what I'm trying. I'm using Yoga as a gateway to invite "God" into my body. To see it as a temple, not as a thing to abuse.

Like Atay said ... Most bulimics tend to actually gain weight. Its important that you listen to yourself and not what others are saying. I know thats really hard ... because people can be so mean and we tend to take things personally. Eat healthy, get in some exercise, get lots of rest, drink lots of water. You will feel better about yourself. You are too good of a person. Dont let an Eating Disorder ruin your life.

You still have time to stop it before it becomes an entrenched way of life.

well first of all tons of ppl are 30-40 pounds overweight.... you probably look normal...

2nd you will never ever lose weight this way... you have the power to take control and stop, or reach out for help...

if you get healthy mentally you might be able to lose weight the right slow, healthy way....
