@markedbytek Stop doing it! I did it to myself for years and my body is all messed up now! He's not worth it, no guy is! The laxatives don't work and will only make you gain weight. Start working out, try a healthy diet, maybe even vegan, I lost weight and felt amazing when I was vegan and this was after I quit the binge/purge cycle. When I quit purging I even gained a few pounds, it was worth it but I still have problems everyday, I'm glad I quit when I did.

@SpringtimeRosePetals , hey.. i need to talk to you about telling your parents. for three years i hid this secret and i let it control my life. this summer, i finally told my mom. i thought she would react just like you think your mom is gonna react, but i know now that all she wants to do is help. so do your family a favor and tell someone. you need to be free of this horrible condition. if you need help knowing how to bring it up to your mom, i am here for you!! i just went through it.

@SpringtimeRosePetals Hey...If your mother thinks of bulimics that way than she is tho one who is disgusting! Bulimia is a mental illness and kills people slowly...your mother should help you..if you don't want to talk to your parents go and see a doctor, because you need help! Belive me I'm suffering from bulimia long enought to tell!

Really?! That's shocking!! How could I get help? What should I do?! I feel so ashamed because I fear that people will feel that I have something wrong with me since it is known as a girl's problem, and I am not a girl!! Also, what kind of damage do you think this has done to my body?
