I am 13 yrs old and am 140 pounds. I have recently lost 20 pounds that I am really proud of by eating correctly. But I havent lost any more by continuing my diet food plan so I have gotten disguraged! 20 pounds isnt enough for me. I want to be 100! Therefore I have been trying to buy this drug called "epicak" that makes you throw up on purpose. I havent been able to purcahse it yet and now I am thinking that maybey the reason to me not finding it in stores was for my own good? Well, I am really sick of being overweight! I am a dancer and simply cannot be overweight! But because I go to school, I am afraid to take this drug because I dont know if I will be able to control when I throwup because I dont want to throw up during class! IF ANYONE KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT A DRUG THAT IS SPECIFICALLY MADE TO MAKe YOU HURL PLEASE ANSWER TO THIS MESSAGE! I have to loose weight and am fasting myself as i write this. I have gone three days on water only so I figure that if I only drink water, and make myself throwup that I can loose weight twice as fast! Right? But not eating requires me to now eat when I go out to dinner or at school. Noone has caught on to my "plan" yet so wish me luck. I am going to the doctor in 2 days so I am going to start eating again and then after my visit...start fasting myself again. ANY INFO ON PILLS or EPIKAK? ANSWER THIS MESSAGE!

ok gurrl. I was also 140, and i also lost 20 lbs. And i also want to loose about 10 more. But you know the doctor can tell by looking at yuor glands in your throat, if youve been throwing up. And i know i want to loose like 30 lbs before school, wich was in a month but, i did loose alot. And just remeber there is no dedline, for loosing wieght. plz be careful.

you know, if u are 100 pounds or less serious stuff could happen to u. your period could stop, u could stop growing, and you'd be an ugly stick. throwing up is gross too. it comes out your nose and it taste horrible! it smells pretty bad too. what idiot would want to throw up on purpose? and u say u will stop when u are 100 pounds,but u know, u won't. i know u won't. i can bet u 5 million dollars u won't. u will keep on doing it till u go to the hospital and even if u don't wanna do it, u do cuzz your body is so use to it, it does it automaticly.then u die. get a brain would u? before u throw it up.

DONT FAST TO LOSE WEIGHT! The next thing you eat will go STRAIGHT to FAT! Also, throwing up will cause the same thing! It hurts your teeth, dont help you lose weight, and its horrible for you! You can DIE from doing that. Dont do it, whatever you do.

I sounds to me like you have an eating disorder. The ways that you are choosing to loose weight are unhealthy and dangerous. At first when I read your post, I thought it was a joke. Please, if it isn't a joke, don't comtinue with these behaviors. There are other ways to loose weight. It isn't safe to do this. I know, I've been there. I would like to give you some advice on losing weight, but if you have such a negative self image to be doing this, than i don't want to do anything to help put you in more danger. If your post really is a joke, (which it seems like it is) please tell me and please tell me. Take care of yourself! :)

Ever heard of ANOREXIA and BULLEMIA??? Making yourself throw up and not eating is not a healthy way to lose weight! And the fact that you are even saying these things on this website which is trying to teach people the correct ways to lose weight shows just how sever your problem is. You should never make yourself or not eat. If you do you will get severe problems, and will most likely end up in the hospital. How would you like for your parents to have to drive to the hospital where you are being force fed through tubes because you passed out in school from malnutrition??? Maybe you should talk to someone about your problem or even see a psychologist!!!!!
