Why do women do stupid things like stick their finger down their throat. I mean its unhealthy and just stupid. If someone could give a good reason why then I will shut up.
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 want to at least say I understand but I am a guy who has never done it so I will never understand. I can't believe you started at 12, that's is unbelievable sad story to me, women are a beautiful creation and they should not harm them selves to make a guy happy because to me a happy woman equals a happy man. If a guy ever calls a woman fat or what ever that's is hurtful then they should leave because there is always a guy out there that respects women. - 3 months ago

When I was 12 I done it for guys but when I got older I done it because I hated myself and my looks - 3 months ago
I totally relate I started doing the whole throwing up thing around the same age.. but first started compulsively exercising and starving when I was 9 and it was totally the same feelings.. except I guess I still have them and that's the ting now I know what I have and I know what's its wrong but the feelings will never go away. its hard to justify but in all honesty we do it for the high that comes with it out of the depression that comes with our weight or the way we look. comment back - 2 months ago

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.
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.
And if I honestly shut up then all the women would continue to do this stupid shit so they can look good in the mirror instead of looking good in the eyes of the one who loves them... - 3 months ago
It's not about you - it's about them! it's a mental disorder. that's like telling a person with schizophrenia to listen to you instead of the voices in their head! - 3 months ago

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.
And yes it is stupid to harm your body to make someone else happy instead of making yourself happy because that is what life is all about making yourself happy... - 3 months ago
People with bulimia aren't just trying to make other people happy, they think it will make them happy in the long run.
The thing you have to understand is that people who are bulimic rationalize it. You may not get why they do it, but it makes sense to them. I'm sure you do things that other people consider absurd too. - 3 months ago
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.
I don't care that guys do because I don't date them. And honestly if a guy found out that she does that they find them less attractive in a guy's view....... - 3 months ago

Um, I didn't say it was smart. I said they were thinking about short-term and not long-term. That doesn't imply smart. Of course I don't know why I'm discussing smart with someone who wrote "instead of doing it the right way were your health." What is that supposed to mean? Seriously, it's indecipherable. - 3 months ago
