Bulimia

__What is Bulimia?__
// Bulimia is a eating disorder, that after you eat you purge. It could lead to death if you do it for a long period of time, // // like a good 6 years. The person, would eat food, wait for a good 30-40 minutes, then go purge it up,using toxic substances, // // or using your three fingers and sticking them to the back of your throat making you gag, then you purge out your food. //

How do you Purge?
Purging is really simple, as studies went on, I realized, you can't just use fingers to purge your food. Most people, purge from toxic medicine like.
 * Syrup of Ipecac
 * Baking Soda and Water

Then, there if of coarse the other way. Using your fingers, not just your 'Finger'. But, your Fingers, the three of them, the pointer, the middle and the ring. You stick them down your throat and, you barf. But, while doing that, you bite on your knuckles, by the times, you realize, the knuckles are raw, and purple.

As I research, on other idea's and personal's stories, even though these are the major side effects, it seems to be other side effects, that some people don't like. Like, when you had thin hands, the nails crack in half. The nails fall off on some. Then, there is some cases where, when the bite down, on there knuckles after purging, your knuckles and hands, bruise and turns raw. Some, people had amounts of hair lose and uncontrollable vowels. Some people feels guilty, and then just gives up. The only thing that matters to them, is purging, and purging. That's what they want the most. they would get up in the middle of the night, and buy food, but when there family realizes it, they stop. Then they move to the garbage, They're hungry so they shove food down their faces, and then puked it up, thinking about how everything is messed up in there life. They blame it all on them. Some cases, when purging, they would still use the fingers and shove food in their mouths again, with vomit in them. Then, there is the people, who ends up, starting to run witch is a good road down to  Anorexia. Bulimia, is just fighting with yourself, and you want to get all the poison (Food) out of the system.

But, in the end, it's mostly just pressure.Mostly, it's just about how you look, all girls want to be perfect. Then there is relationship problems. And, grades, with college coming up. Personal health problem. Then there is depression, with people calling you names like fat. After a while, you start to believe that it's true. ======

= = = **Personal Stories** = Here is some personal stories you might like. Recently I just turned 20. This means I've had this devil of an illness for 4 years.

I first started when I was about 16. I moved into a shared house with other care leavers where there were skinny girls. I wanted to be like them, skinny girls were always considered attractive to the sexual eye, well that's how it seemed. I realised how much weight I had actually dropped. I was a size 14 when I was 14. I had dropped to a 10. I wouldn't eat all day at college then in the evenings I would just eat and eat. I would feel ashamed. I hated myself for the fact I gave in to the horrible substance that every bite I would take, But I couldn't stop. During this period was the first time I landed myself in A&E for self harm, I had been a harmer since I were 14 also, but never that badly. I thought my life was as normal as I would ever see it. I never thought I had a disorder. But I have bulimia. -[|Creamms]

few months of my bulimia things got so serious, I was sure I was going to die. If things would have continued I probably would have. A good day for me was B/P-ing twice a day, a usual day however consisted of me B/P-ing 10-25 times a day especially in the later stages of my disorder - It was the scariest and most out of control time of my life. But something happened to me, once I'd hit this total rock bottom I decided that maybe I could give recovery a chance, just to see if it was possible. I randomly found this site that same day and suddenly I wasn't alone anymore, in that moment I realised I did deserve a chance at life. Coming here and learning about structured eating all those months ago saved my life, I had bulimia for ten and a half years and now I am totally free. The program it's self is a real eye opener, **I sat there nodding and laughing to myself at how much sense it makes, it is like nothing I have ever** I have been in successful recovery for 17 months now. I have learned more about myself and about bulimia than I ever thought possible. I can't even express the sense of freedom I have every day of my life now. Being able to have any amount of previously triggering foods at home and knowing 100% that I wont feel the urge to relapse. I'm living in heaven right now and you can get here too. Give recovery everything you have and a whole lot of time and you can reach even further than you ever thought possible.
 * Hey I'm Catherine, I'm 25, from the UK and I am a Recovered Bulimic. I had Bulimia for 10 and a half years and disordered eating pretty much my**
 * entire life. I always thought recovery was IMPOSSIBLE.** For the majority of my life I wasn't interested in trying to get better anyway, but I think in the last
 * Despite the fact that most of us have read every book under the sun I can honestly say this program really is different. While I've been in**
