Name: NickyT [ Original Post ] Hello everyone one. Let me give you all a little information on my background. I am 15 years old, 5'11" and 120 pounds. I have been fluxuating weight between 120-127 pounds which really confuses me. The reason I fast, binge, and purge is basically to maintain a modelesc form. It isn't a deep rooted problem like most people. Also, lately when I have purged my face, mainly cheeks and lips, in the morning will be really swollen, is this a symptom of a major problem, and if not why does my face ( only me face) do this? also, is there anywhere I can go to talk to someone without having to tell my parents, because that is the only reason so far that i have not gotten help... love- Nicky ↓

Hi Nicky... I completely understand! When ppl purged, some may experience: painful sore throat, upset/unstable stomach movements, and yes sore cheeks. The reasons are due to excessive purging behaviour exhausting your cheek muscles. This will eventually go away once the purging stops. It can happen to some..and not others. I bet your cheeks feel light and puffy in the morning? It happens...and yes, I do believe it's quite serious because I have been bulimic for almost 7 years now since I was your age at 15yrs old. I honestly suggest you get professional help ASAP. Don't let this disease take over your high school years. Trust me. You will regret it by the time you graduate if you don't. Plus you wouldn't want to live with swollen cheeks either! ↑
