Reply from Lauren, Age 14 - 1/22/01 - IP#: 24.28.233.172Okay, first of all, bulimia is VERY bad for you. I tried t a few times awhile ago too, and believe me it doesn't work. Sure, you may feel empty and it may feel like you are losing weight but when you do that, you only lost 10% of whatever you ate. Throwing up also makes more acid come in your mouth, making your breath bad, your teeth decay, and gives you sores in your mouth. And the act of sticking your fingers down your throat makes your throat hurt badly, as if you were sick. Please don't do this, I didn't much care that it would mess up my health, what I cared about is my teeth and breath mostly.. I have already had braces and my teeth are totally perfect now, and I want them to stay that way.. I also have a boyfriend and I don't think he would appreciate kissing me with the taste of thrown up food and extra acid in my mouth (brushing your teeth DOES NOT get it all out, trust me.)Instead of being bulimic, exercise and go on a diet, with less carbos, less fats, less sweets and more fruits, veggies, and WATER!! Water's VERY important, soft drinks are SO bad for you, even the diet kinds. GOOD LUCK, and I hope I helped you!! |
