Yello,
I had a scary experience on this website the other day and it has stayed with me so I decided to let you all know. someone posted a video from youtube and I went and looked at it and it wasnt so bad, but then I looked at some more about ed's or whatever they call it onthere and I seen something that made me so sick to my stomach and I was very very disturbed. It was a photo of a girl who died while purging. It was very graphic and seemed to be real. It showed a girl by the toilet and she was dead because when she last purged her stomach ruptured and killed her instantly. I really cant explain in words how this effected me. I have stopped purgeing and it has been many months, but I am so scared I have done damage I cant undo. will this happen to me even if I have stopped purging? I guess her stomach got a hole in it and it has lowered to her bowels. I guess just the morbid thought of seeing the pic and realizing this could have been me scared the living shit out of me. I had already been scared once, by the fact that you can die from you esphogus rupturing and bleed out, so geez, I am truely done with purging. Plus, I stoped restricting too!! Let me know what you guys think? I know this is really a scary thought but its the reality of an eating disorder.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Okay, so whether this is the same picture or not doesn't matter.
Anyway, there is a website and it has stories of those who have died. There is a girl who was b/p'ing and she had stretched her stomach so much that is basically ruptured and killed her.
There is a picture of this on the website and it is pretty graphic. There is also a picture of the content of her stomach. She had eaten a LOT of food, a couple of liters if I remember correctly.
Point being, yes, b/p'ing can cause your stomach to rupture and you do not have to be underweight to do it.
That is something that happens slowly over time as the stomach has been stretched to it's limits and slowly starts to form tears.
ok, i found the site.she was 19 and had had anorexia and bulimia for 5 years. she had eaten 5.6 liters of food which is 11 pints or about 1.5 gallons of food.
and take good care.
