when I say this I speak for me and nobody else at all who has had bulimia because every experience with it is different so I speak on behalf of myself nobody else.if you want to try understand it I suggest you read my experience when I had it

i used to be bulimic and there is no good reason to justify why we do it but I will tell you why I did. when I was 12 I heard you can get skinny by making yourself sick, and to me skinny= beautiful=guys=happy!

when I seen the weight come off as I got on the scales everyday I would get like a high.then to me it became a hobby it was so addictive.

but when I was 13 it just kind of stopped I don't know why but I stopped.

then when I was 15 my weight depressed me so much and this time around I was doing it as a way to be happy with myself.

but this time around I wasnt losing weight at all so I ended up starving myself and I dropped 20lbs.

you don't understand how much weight can take over a girls mind there is times I have tryed to kill myself because of how much I weigh. its a serious thing when all the thoughts in your head are I'm not good enough nobody will ever like me because I'm ugly,nobody wants an ugly friend,if I was skinny people would like me,if I was skinny id like me,if I was skinny id be happy! there he thoughts that go through your head 24/7

and you want them thoughts to be gone and you honestly believe that if you get skinny they will go and bulimia seems to be an easyier option than starving yourself and if you believe truly in your head it can help you be happy and not in this self hatered depression your in your going to do it

thats my experience and thoughts when I had it it won't be everyones but its an in sight to someones!

i never told anyone I had bulimia and I never will . I know girls who say they have it to get attention and I know for a fact if you have it you will never tell anyone you have it as you are ashamed in a way

i agree it is just plain stupid and this is coming from a girl.look I apologise to all those women who do do it and especially if you feel affened by this but it is plain stupid the only person you can ever be is youself their is no point what so ever because you will never trueley be happy I am over weight but I know that there are other ways to lose the weight other than sticking your fingers down your throat and you actually think that by doing that you are making yourself healthy your actually doing yourself more harm than good.i personally think that medeling should be banned because it is because of models making women feel inferior and feel fat if they don't look like that. I know a 14 year old girl who makes herself sick to lose weight because a modeling agency told her that she was overweight when in actual fact she is 3 stone under weight and even a size 0 dress is too big for her, she is always ill because her amune system has been weakened and my god she doesn't even look right in a dress because she is so skinny that she literally looks like a twig her bones stick out it just looks disgusting. this is a 24 year old girl that is throwing her life away because of some,shallow, superficial airhead that likes to see beautiful girls harm themselfs just to show off some clothes.

girls are under enourmous pressures to be physically beautiful... and when that collides head on with a pre-existing anxiety or depression problem you get wonderful things like fingers down your throat.

Women aren't the only ones to do it. It's a way to lose weight. It wouldn't be a disorder if it was normal.

Girls do stupid things such as that because they constantly feel pressured by guys and all the super models and stars that they are ugly if they aren't 90lbs. It's really hard to go through thinking every single day that "im not good enough" or "a guy will never like me because I'm not as skinny as mary kate and ashley" When you walk down the street girls see other super skinny girls and their boyfriends and then that causes us to think that that's the way its suppose to be so we become desperate to lose weight to get guys to like us more so we stop eating or throw what we do eat up. And once you do it for the first time it soon becomes a psychological problem and an addiction. Its very hard to explain but its like being an alcoholic, you know your an alocholic and you know you shouldn't drink that and yet you still do. Same thing with bulimia you think well I feel fat cause I ate a lot  I know I shouldnt stick my fingers down my throat and throw it up, and yet you do it anyway. But there are a lot of other reasons why girls are bulimic its an issue of control and depression. and all girls need is someone to comfort them and help them  conquer it. This is only my opinion because I struggle with bulimia and its a disease and I can't stop it.

Bulimia isn't about being skinny, it's about control. Someone with bulimia is generally an average weight.

People who have a lot of pressure on them--whether it be from their family, school, work, etc.--are more likely to be bulimic. If someone's parents are really strict and set high standards for them, they're more likely to develop bulimia in order to be in control of some aspect of their life (and that applies to both males and females).

A lot of "stupid things" are explained in a basic psychology class.

katiegal · Answer

No,in a long term it's not about "guys".not about the other gender,.Lesbians,and young kids are also bulimic or anorexic..There is an another reason.

i speak from experiance.

it's about confidence,and controll and psichological pressure.it's about personality.

If you have something in ur life,and that thing makes you sick,or you hate it or can't controll it-u try to find a thing you CAN controll.For example-Weight.

U begin to hurt yourself,and ur mind tells you that you deserv it,coz you are fault,u feel always GUILTY.

To stop,and have a healthy lifestyle-possible.Just if you are strong and mature enough.

many of those people never tell it to anyone.They try to fight with this alone,like I do.It's about ur mind.

Not eating or throwing up-anorexia or bulimia-same thing.It's about hurting yourself and the wish to be someone ELSE.

From media and pressure to look good and be skinny, some girls will go to extremes to do this.

It's not a normal thing, it is a mental disorder called Bulimia.

And also, FYI, girls are not the only sufferers of Bulimia, guys are too.

It is unhealthy, it is really damaging to your body. There is no good reason to do it.

Now you can shut up.

its an eating disorder. when someone has an eating disorder, its more than just wanting to be skinny. it's a legitimate mental problem. they usually have low self esteem, self loathing and all other sorts of issues.

i get annoyed when people trivialize it like its just some silly diet when its way more than that. but I understand a lot of people don't understand it tho.

Girls are more likely to have self esteem issues and are more desperate to reach "perfection." Thus, some girls will do anything even if they kill themselves in the process. It is not stupid that these women do it, it's stupid that they do it because someone else says do this to get this body type. I don't really have a good reason to explain your question, I just have some thoughts that go through a girl's mind from a girl who's been there and done that.

It's just not all women who do it. Guys can do it to but it's not as common. This is how I think it is because these girls want to be what we call perfect, skinny. Who get all the guys. Or they aren't happy with their bodies.

gravygirl · Answer

To get thin.  They're not thinking about long-term health, just short-term.  Kind of like when guys take steroids.

jaclynjune16 · Answer

because girls think that guys want stick figure girlfriends. which is completely false!

Because their bulimic, and that is not at all normal. But don't be fooled into thinking it's just women, some men do it too.
