hey,you think you hve problems! im watching the jermey kyle show titled 'i kissed a woman but its your fault!' soz im sarcastic! im not bulimic but my life is controlled by food!i wont eat or weeks than binge eat its goes round and round like a fair ground ride but less fun! what should you do? like im one to give advice but thats never stoped me before! im going to therapy right now and it helps i still have an eating disorder but i feel a little better just talking to someone, im thinking of going to group therapy! to talk to someone or people that really understand me! maybe you should.

well, your doctor is right on point when he said that laxatives will truly hurt your body. but so will the restricting, binging, and purging. i would consider looking at what you normally eat in a day (being honest with yourself about it all) and try and reduce anything that makes you want to purge. increasing your veggies and fruits can help too especially if you feel unsatisfied with a meal because it wasn't filling enough, but don't want to be tempted to take laxatives or purge. there are a lot of healthy things you can do too that can help with emotions, etc.

Hi,

Firstly its 'bulimic' not 'bumlic' hehe but that gave me a little giggle. :)

Yes the laxatives will cause harm to your body. For starters the laxatives get rid of water weight basically. So the 12 lbs you have lost is mostly water weight i would say. So this is dehydrating you body alot. perhaps try makng a food plan of some sort...and put a jar out of the 'safe' foods that you allow yourself that day that hopefully cover all the required food groups.
