I am 14. I just learned about eating disorders in class. I am also losing weight and am on the Jenny Craig Program. I ate something I wasn't supposed to and today after dinner I decided to purge myself. I am scared...what will happen? I need more information. I am not depressed or anything I just really want to lose the weight and not let my parents down after they are spending so much money on me. My throat started to hurt and I really need help. I don't want to purge myself again. Is purging yourself a choice or a habit? I really need to talk to someone and find out more...I really don't want anything wrong with my health or my teeth. Please help!

Eat healthy, exercise in moderation, do not be obsessed with food and diet and how you look. You need to nourish your body, love your body, your beauty comes from inside of you. Take control of this now. Do not continue to damage your organs. Talk to a conselor, therapist, dietician your doctor anyone and get over this now

I was bulimic up until about 2 months ago when a filling fell out of my tooth after a purging session. That was enough to make me finally stop after a year of almost daily binging and purging. One thing you don't want to start doing is considering throwing up an option. DO NOT start off eating saying "it's okay I can just throw it up later." I can tell you this right now, throwing up is not just a habit-it's an addiction. I became addicted to vomiting. It wasn't even about eating good food or losing weight anymore, I just wanted to feel the relief of letting it all out. I studied bulimia heavily and I hope this information will help you- when you eat, 60% of the calories you consume are absorbed into your body which means when you throw up you're only throwing up 40% of what you ate. That's why bulimics are all of average weight because-while they might lose SOME(not much) weight in the beginning- their body is still getting the amount of calories it is used to, sometimes less sometimes more. I wish someone would have told me this before I became addicted to the feeling. Please don't start this, it will take over your life, you won't lose a significant amount of weight, and it won't be worth the health problems or loss of respect that you will have for yourself

Hey sarahhh. so i've been bulimic for about 2 years and in december/ january it got to the point where i was throwing up like 7 times a day and i had to go into treatment for a month. it sucked. and i had to miss school and everything and im still dealing with it. i know right now it seems like this unknown really cool thing, but trust me, it isn't. im serious... text me. 703.509.9004. Btw it starts off as a choice and then develops into a habit. DO NOT DO IT AGAIN. after the second or third time you start to get hooked. Ps i'm anemic, have reeeallllyyy irregular periods, have to take a huge dose of anti-depressants every day, my hair falls out, and my teeth are permanently yellow. yum right? text me later and we can chat:)
