Or not.. im slightly confused.. and you know if youre annorexic.. do you have to through everything up.. and how long does it take to start losing weight ?
Thankx! x ↑ |
Okay, I've suffered from bulimia as well as anorexia (each off and on) for about 10 years, but have been completely "clean" for the past year. Since I have quite a bit of experience, I have to correct your assumptions about if you quit being bulimic you would not gain weight. You are completely mistaken--when you throw up you are still robbing your body of the calories that it needs...so your metabolism gets all out of whack. Therefore, when you start eating normally again and NOT throwing up, you DO gain weight initially because your body isn't used to having a normal amount of calories each day (so it stores them up as fat in anticipation of not getting any more calories soon). I don't want to encourage you to continue throwing up, but you need to think logically about the consequences of what you're doing to your body. Regardless of if you never put the calories in your stomach or if you put them in but throw them up, your body still goes into starvation mode. ↑ |
