People who binge and purge (or even just purge), generally do not lose weight. They still consume that calaries. And yes it will hurt you. The stomach acid burns away the lining of your teeth and esophogus. Health Question & Answer
It can damage both your esophagus and teeth. It can also eventually start causing your hair to fall out. It's hard to believe you only do it once every month or two, because that would cause no desired result. I am sure you are doing it more often that you are willing to admit, but you can't lie to yourself. It's better to be a little heavy than to have stomach acid destroy your teeth, have bad hair, and cause other health issue. I know eating disorder normally start off being about weight, but it will soon turn into a control issue....stop while you are ahead! Health Question & Answer
Well every time you induce vomiting acid comes up and it burns your esophagus. As for your teeth, becuase the acid is so strong, they tend to burn the tissue that there as well. Over a period of time, ur gums will look horrible and ur teeth will start to stain. Now although, once every two months seems ok, it really isn't. Once a part of ur tissue gets burned off it doesn't heel properly. I wouldn't recommand it at all. It's not healthly.
But keep in mind, it may not seem all that bad short term, it's going to affect you long term. Especially after eating, you're depriving your body of nutrients. If you were to continue, your body will go into a shock mode where it will start storing un needed lips, carbohydrates and amino acids.
