Other Answers:
it does help lose weight but in a VERY unhealthy manner, if continued it can casue severe damage to your throat and stomach, and general bad health
bulemia is when you make yourself throwup, do you? if you do, i'd get help
If you are binging and purging, the acids you bring up can damage your teeth. Also, bulimia can cause heart failure. Please talk to someone and get some help. Weight loss is not something that should threaten your life.
yes very much so but it has horrid side effects if you suffer form bullemia that is no way to lose weight there are way better solutions to weight loss and to feel great about yourself
Yes it does. It also helps you lose your health, sanity and eventually your life.
If you are bulimic, you need to get professional help. Please talk to your parents and tell them what you think. You can't get over this alone, and they need to help you.
No, because you just eat alot, and then you force your self to puck it all up! That just messes up your whole body. So I would say it definately doesn't help you loose weight! Plus, after you eat TONS and then throw it up, you really aren't getting anywhere. It just messes up your entire body , and that is really bad! It doesn't help you at all.
yes,and you need to help fom someone if you have it,it WILL KILL YOU!!
Yes bulimia does help lose weight, but it is not the wisest way to do it. You will end up hurting yourself, it is very unhealthy. If you think you may be bulimic, which is forcing yourself to throw up, you should talk to someone about this. There other ways, which are safer, to lose weight. It is not worth it to lose weight by being bulimic.
do NOT go bulimic. it's unhealthy and you end up in the hospital.
it really isnt healthy, you need food for your motabolism to work properly. so just eating healty in small portions is better than not eating and gagging yourself. people think its a fast way to get skinny but it is even easier to put on weight really fast every time you eat so you have to keep on not eating and throwing up for it to work
No! You may think bulimia helps you lose weight, because you will be eating and throw up all the time, but in reality it doesn't. It just causes you to eat more and more, and every time you'll want to throw up. Bulimia is very unhealthy. Not only will you no longer take down your food and nutrients you need to survive, but everytime you gag or regurgitate, some of the food stays within your mouth (unless you brush and floss everytime after) and your teeth start decaying from all the food leftover. You also have halitosis and you lose self confidence in yourself. My friend was bulimic for 3 years. Finally I convinced her to seek help. I think you should go to a doctor or professional. At least if you admit to it, and desire the need to stop being bulimic, you can help yourself in the long run. Remember, you are beautiful the way you are. There's no reason why you should change your features for someone else's happiness. Stay beautiful. Take care of yourself.
Saying the phrase bulimia "helps" you lose weight is like saying being alcoholic helps you meet people. Losing weight or being friendly might not seem so bad.but in the context of a bigger issue.not so good.
Sure, bulimia may cause you to lose weight - by gorging on food and then throwing it up. It can also cause you health problems.the acid you cause to come up can cause throat problems, ulcers. In extreme cases, it can cause hair loss. It is extremely unhealthy.
If you want to lose weight, consult a doctor or dietician. They will help you devise a healthy way to lose weight, that is.if it is even necessary. Find out if you are in a healthy weight class for your age and height. If you are, your goal could be to eat healthier or to get more physically fit. But get help right away.
Many things help you loose weight but not all ways are healthy. Bulimia is life threating, I agree with everybody else when they say if you consider it or know someone that does it get help!
IT will make you very ill, lose teeth and throat problems,heart and breaking down of you vital organs and bone loss plus coutless other serious health issues, You need to get medical help asap. good luck..
