Is being Bulimic good?

Is being bulimic good or bad? What are the ups and downs of being bulimic?

[coffeeeadddict]

The only "up" to being bulimic is weight loss. You can achieve that with diet and exercise.

Bulimia can make your hair fall out, just so you know... So if you are trying to be pretty, try looking cute when you are bald and have bones poking out. Pair that up with bad breath. Add some health problems. Sprinkle in some serious self esteem issues (and obsession with appearance), which you probably had anyway if you decided to become a bulimic. This doesn't make for a very attractive person.

If you are bulimic, you need to get help. A girl's weight doesn't make her pretty or ugly. There are so many other factors. You need to understand you are beautiful. Once you see how pretty you are, everyone else will appreciate you as well.

Every time you pass a mirror, find three pretty things about yourself. They don't have to be big. It could be, I like the way my eyes sparkle or I like my hair color or I like that my waist goes in or whatever. It will get easier and easier.

Then, pick out one beautiful thing about each person you meet. The more beauty you can find in others, the more you will see in yourself.

People with bulimia are often ashamed of their eating problems and attempt to conceal their symptoms. Binge/purge behavior is often quite secretive, and one's obvious, or public, eating patterns vary from being relatively "normal" to being highly restrictive.

Typically people with bulimia are very body and weight conscious and are frequently dieting. They place excessive emphasis on body weight and shape in their self-evaluation. Often these factors are the most important ones for them in determining self-esteem.

NOT HEALTHY.

LOL, nooooooooo. Its not good at all. Its like, very very bad. It'll f*** you up, you know. There are no ups. I mean there might be one or two but they're outweighed by this wild amassing of downs, like seriously, if you laid all the downs out, and a down would only be about an inch in length, and if you laid them all out flat, you could see the curvature of the earth over them, seriously.

You "Under 18" crowd never cease to amaze me.

[peace-love-couture]

Um, no. Are you stupid or what? No it isn't good and it isn't really a choice, you do it once and once turns into twice, twice turns into every single day after every meal.

If it was good do you think it would require medical treatment? Uh no

Brutal honesty +1

I was going to answer but this pretty much said it all lol

No, it's not good. There is no up to being bulimic. Only downs.. downs that include, the acid from your stomach eating the enamel off of your teeth causing them to decay and fall out. How would you like to have dentures at the age of 30? You run the risk of heart attack and cardiac arrest because of you repeatedly making yourself throw up. Causing yourself to throw up can cause rupture of the esophagus which can kill you. There are many more effects that you can suffer.

Yes, it's extremely unhealthy, and you don't want rotten teeth do you? +1

There are temporary highs after you purge I guess. I would feel better for about 5 minutes and then turn around and purge again. There was no weight loss with me either, if that is what you are looking for. It takes up all of your time and causes you to become absolutely obsessed with food if you aren't already. Bulimia took control of my life for 7 years. I cannot tell you how much you will regret it. I don't have enough time or room here to try and convince you not to!
