If you throw up after any meal, it is still bulimia.You don't have to bing to be bulimic, if you throw up after any kind of meal it is indeed bulimia.

So pleas, go see a clinic because you do have an eating disorder and you need to get help.Health Question & Answer
Any time you purposely make yourself throw up after eating anything is considered an eating disorder. Just because you don't binge before the purge doesn't mean you don't have an eating disorder.
If you don't feel comfortable going to the clinic your friends are suggests, look into other forms of help at least- therapy to help figure out what triggers your behavior,etc.
Good luck & stay safe.Health Question & Answer

Yes. You have a disease, please seek professional. You talk about a diet but this behavior is incredibly unhealthy, you are doing permanent damage to your trachea, esophagus, teeth and overall well-being of your whole body.

Of course you're bulimic! Don't kid yourself. And no, you're not "just interesting". Bulimia is not interesting, it's a sickness. Please see a doctor right away or check yourself into emergency. You can die from this. Do not try to justify this sickness or make it "right" in your mind because you'll only get worse. Your habits clearly are a red flag. Get help immediately and good luck!

I dont know about bullemic.. I don't know much about bullemia but I reckon you should take your friends advice. You really need to eat!
Just go along to a clinic.. you have nothing to lose. They can tell you if you qualify or not.. they are experts.. but I think you do anyway.
It isnt just being 'interesting'.. I think you do need to see someone.
Hope things go well :)Health Question & Answer

goodness,
that's definitely still bulimia. And if you're just throwin up because you're full, just don't eat as much. Throwing up will rot away your teeth and esophagus, it can even lead to death. It's not something you should be doing every day. Maybe you should listen to your friend and go to the clinic.

Actually, yes, bulimics do traditionally binge before throwing up. But if you throw up at all, or abuse laxatives at all, then technically you do have an eating disorder--and you really should see a proffesional about it. Health Question & Answer
You make yourself throw up, you don't feel like doing it so stop lying. You do it because you feel guilty for what you just ate. When you throw up the stomach acids wear your teeth away, keep that in mind.Health Question & Answer

*sigh* okay the only reason you feel really full from soup is because its like really SALTY and WATERY and its not the best thing you could be eating, and it FILLS up your stomach with basically water and no calories so no wonder you feel sick. if you want my advice, i'd say, stop putting so much emphasis on food intake & just live your life... Eat when your hungry, stop when your FULL, move on to the next thing. Health Question & Answer
I was about to say you'r not bulimic, until I got to the part about abusing laxatives. Doing that on a regular basis is a sign of bulimia, even if you don't binge. Binge eating is a completely seperate disorder in and of itself. Are you making yourself throw up or is it just happening.? That could be another stomach problem. But there are other eating disorders than bulimia, and based on the fact that you are abusing laxatives to lose weight, you will qualifiy. Go to the clinic and see what is going on and get better! :-)Health Question & Answer
you don't need to binge in order to be bulimic. bulimia means you make yourself throw up after eating, and abusing laxatives is another form of bulimia. you sound like you seriously have an eating disorder and you are in denial. you should listen to your friend and get help.
bulimia really damages your esophagus and teeth...the acid from the vomit will wear it away and you'll have problems all your life, if you don't just end up dead.Health Question & Answer

I'm not sure what exactly makes a person a binger but what you are doing is completely unhealthy. You would be better off doing the exercise that you are doing and eating 3 basic meals or multiple small meals throughout the day. If sounds like you can't go without throwing up at this point so i would recommend that you do go to a clinic because you may not think it now but your esophagus can not take that amount of bile so often, it can lead to stomach ulcers and you are not getting the proper nutrition...you are just gunna create alot more problems for yourself in the future. By you asking if your interesting it sounds like you might even be doing this for attention which is also a completely wrong reason to be doing this. you can have a healthy lifestyle without doing harm to your body. And be thankful that you have great friends that care about you. Life isn't about being skinny its about being comfortable in your own skinHealth Question & Answer
Yeah, you definitely could be bulimic. You can also have a sort of 'inbetween' eating disorder (bulimirexia.? sp.?) that has symptoms of both, which might be what you have if you restrict and vomit.?
Anyway, you definitely do have an eating disorder, and it sounds pretty severe. You should go to the clinic and get some help or talk to your parents about it. Health Question & Answer

in my abnormal psychology book "Patients with the binge-eating/purging type of anorexia nervosa differ from patients with restricting anorexia nervosa because they either binge, PURGE, or binge and purge." You seem to be anorexic of the purge type not bulimic. To qualify you have to be underweight and you have missed periods due to malnutrition
"Approximately 30-50 percent of patients transition from the restriction type to bine-eating/purging of anorexia," so if you follow the usual course of anorexia you probably started to work out a lot and restricting what you ate before you start to throw up. "Methods of purging commonly include self induced vomiting or misuse of laxatives, diuretics and enemas."
To be DSM-IV-TR (standard guideline for menal illnesses) 1. Refusal to maintain a body weight that is normal for persons age and height.
2. Intense fear of gaining weight or becoming fat
3. Distorted perception of body shape and size
4. Absence of at least 3 consecutive menstrual periods
If you dont meet that you may just be borderline anorexic
All in all you seem to be textbook anorexia nervosa of the purging type
Its great you admit you have a problem thats the hardest part of any psychological treatment, treatments usually work best when the person knows they have a problem and want to fix it. I hope you can overcome it.
Oh by the way if you want to know an easy way to differentiate anorexia from bulimia theyre greek words anorexia means "Lack of appetite" (hardest to remember) and bulimia actually means "could eat an ox"(just think of bull). In bulimia you have a strong urge to eat and you may or may not be skinny(imp. difference, anorexics ARE underweight)Health Question & Answer

Hi,
You are trying to convince yourself that you don't have an eating disorder, but what you describe is a classic eating disorder regardless of what name you want to place on it.
Your health is in serious jeopardy, your weight may continue to stay low or even plummet at a certain point. You are displaying compulsive tendencies in exercising and trying to control the things you are able to.
If you continue to purge, your teeth will begin to also deteriorate from the stomach acid that comes up when you throw up.
I would urge you to talk to a counselor at school, or one of the many hot-lines that are available for people in crises, even give your doctor a call. The earlier you get treatment, the better your prognosis will be.
