How can I lose weight without being bulimic?

[Anonymous]

I've almost been bulimic before and since then I've gained a lot of weight. I am seriously considering bulimia or anorexia. I know I should get help but I tried last time.

an eating disorder is what you will accomplish by going down the starving path, or the throw up your food path. when you have an eating disorder your body goes into starvation mode, it saves ALL the calories that youve eaten, all the carbohydrates and proteins are turned into fat and energy for your body. after all those are eaten up by your body for energy, it will slowly eat away all your muscle for energy, all you will be left with is fatty tissue which takes very long for your body to get rid of by just starving yourself. I had a slight eating disorder, and it is NOT the way to go. it affects everyone around you. it ruins lives. not only your own but the people you love and who are close to you. you may not think so, but it does. not everyone is built or has the genes to be a size zero, it may just not be in the cards for you, I know now it isn't for me, and I have come to accept that. you need to accept your body for what it is, learn to love it. god gave it to you the way it is for a reason. if you want to lose weight do it the healthy way, go see a nutritionist. she will help you with your eating plans, and that will start you off. stop eating junk food, it is horrible for your body. eat a lot of greens, and not a lot of fatty meats or foods like that. get a personal trainer, and if you cannot afford that get a simple gym membership. there are classes that are great cardio workouts that help you burn thousands of calories. find a better way that just starving yourself. starving yourself may seem like the easy way not, but you will look back and thank the lord that you didn't go down that road. times are getting hard, and the pressure to be beautiful is harder than ever, but the time is to chose the easy way or the right way. I hope you can find true happiness with yourself. I hope I helped at all.

Oh man, eating disorders are not a good thing sweety. You need to become regimented in what and when you eat. You need an exercise program and you need to realize that you don't have to be rail skinny to be attractive. Most guys that I know are not attracted to rail skinny chicks. I am not skinny by any means but I have guys hit on me on a daily basis. Why because I am confident. I am not fat but I am very curvy. I could stop eating completely and will still never be a size 3. I am comfortable in my size 8/9 clothes. I have friends that have had to deal with eating disorders. There are many beautiful women that have died from those diseases.

Go to a nutritionist or a personal trainer but you have to eat. Your hair will start to fall out. Your nails will become brittle. Your skin will become blotchy and opaque. Yes you might lose some weight but you still won't be happy with how you look.

There are a lot of ways to lose weight without being bulimic!

for example sports or just eat healthy. A lot of fruits and vegetables!

i would be really interested in how much you weigh?!

and why do you wanna lose weight? Because of you or any guy?

a lot of guys don't like "skinny" girls.

and I also think you should go and get some help. Their are plenty of girls who have the same problem and you could help each other about it

good luck!

Look I was just kidding about that. you don't have to think you don't look good. every body looks just fine. you should be happy the way you look. a lot of guys would probably pick a girl who has confidence with her self than a skinny girl. because people may develop an eating disorder. you should be happy with the way you are.
