i have decided to put a list of good and bad things about either throwing up, or starving yourself to lose weight. Good things about it-1.you lose weight. 2. you look thiner. 3.food does not control u any more. Now fore the bad things. 1. barf taste bad. 2. barf goes up your nose. 3. barf smells bad. 4. when u starve, you can enjoy the great taste you once could. 5.people might catch you barfing or starving yourself and you will get lecture after lecture, or thyerapist after thyerapist, or punishments after punishments. 6.you are weaker and can't do any sports as u once could do. 7. you look like your always sick or have a cold. 8. you get heavy sags and dark rings around your eyes 9. your energy level goes way down. 10. u can't concentrate on things, such as school and start to fail at it. 11.you can get to be a stick and no guys never likes sticks. 12.you stop growing. mentally and physically. 13.you inccrease the risk of getting diseases. 14. your bones can easily break. 15. you can't stop starving yourself or throwing up. no matter how hard u try. u can't stop.16. u hurt every one who knows and loves you. 17. your heart pumps faster and u could die any second if it pumps too fast. 18. u can faint. 17.your heart could start giving out and u must be hospitalized. 18. you get all these tubes stick in you at the hispital. people start looking and start to take pity on u all because of a stupid thing u did. 19. you can't eat anything no matter how hard you try, cuzz if u threw it up so much u auto maticlly throw it up some more, and if u starve too much your body will still throw it up because its not use to it. 20. you die. Of course there is more to the bad things but who has time to tell it when i beleive i got my point clear. so, would u rather have 20 + bad things happen to u for the price of 3 good things? doesn't seem like a good deal to me. or would u rather just have 1 thing wrong (being over weight) and have a good life. u decide.

throwing up to lose weight is BAD BAD BAD BAD, don't do it!! first of all, you CAN'T control when you throw up, because once it becomes a habit, your stomach automatically responds to food by making you throw it up. Secondly, YOU GET UGLY TEETH!!! your stomach contains A LOT of acids, and when you make yourself throw up constantly, it destroys your teeth's enamel (which CANNOT be replaced), so that leads to having horrible teeth 4 tha rest of your life. You will look gaunt and disgusting because you never eat, you'll always be hungry all the time, you won't have any energy, you'll fail in school because you can't concentrate on anything....what gigi said wuz true, so DON'T GO PUKING TO LOSE WEIGHT, YOU'LL EITHER END UP IN REHAB WITH ALL THE OTHER GIRLS WHO STARVE THEMSELVES, OR END UP GAINING WEIGHT WHEN YOU START EATING AGAIN, AND BE EVEN MORE UNHAPPY. if you lose weight STEADILY, you'll keep it off, TRUST ME.eat healthy, NO FRIES, PIZZA OR HAMBURGERS, CUT DOWN ON THE CARBS (like pasta, bread and rice), AND DOUBLE UP THOSE VEGGIES AND FRUITS!! what i do is i try to at least eat 20 baby carrots a day, plus 3 fruits. Drink water, it'll trick your stomach into thinking it's full. LOTS OF WATER, it gives you BEAUTIFUL skin and hair, AND it sheds off the pounds VERY QUICKLY. follow this, and i promise you that you will see results, BUT IF YOU THROW UP ON PURPOSE, YOU'LL BE HURTING YOURSELF BADLY, AND WILL LOOK HORRIBLE.

You know its really stupid to starve yourself or vomit to lose weight. Vomiting can lead to tooth decay and you can really mess up the way your body works. It can be very hard to stop the habits
