Possibly bulimic…?
Question : Possibly bulimic…?
How do you know if you have an eating disorder? Is it an eating disorder if you really can control it? I’m not stuck in a binge/purge cycle, but sometimes I just eat too much and want to get rid of it, so I’ll throw it up or fast for a day or two. Is this bulimic? Is treatment neccessary? I don’t feel like I need it, and if I told anybody they’d totally overeact and be all weird about it. Should I?
bulimic treatment

This is being bulimic, When you feel like you ate too much, You throw up, Am I right? Well, Stop now. It isn’t good for your health.
I’m not saying go to a doctor, Just cut down on it, Little by little it will stop
Good luck

DSM-IV Criteria for Bulimia Nervosa
1. Recurrent episodes of binge eating. An episode of binge eating is characterized by both of the following:(1) Eating, in a discrete period of time (eg, within any 2-hour period), an amount of food that is definitely larger than most people would eat during a similar period of time and under similar circumstances.(2) A sense of lack of control over eating during the episode (eg, a feeling that one cannot stop eating or control what or how much one is eating).
2. Recurrent inappropriate compensatory behavior in order to prevent weight gain, such as self-induced vomiting; misuse of laxatives, diuretics, enemas or other medications; fasting or excessive exercise.
3. The binge eating and inappropriate compensatory behaviors both occur, on average, at least twice a week for 3 months.
4. Self-evaluation is unduly influenced by body shape and weight.
5. The disturbance does not occur exclusively during episodes of anorexia nervosa.
Part of the criteria for being bulmic is binge/purging more than twice a week for 3 months.. so you don’t really fit that
BUT.. purging after a mean isnt a normal reaction to have… not a normal thing to do, so yes i’d say you do have a problem – this can be how it starts

That is how it starts honey. You control and say “well i ate a little too much let me just throw up this one time” and then before you know it, you have a full blown eating disorder. Trust me I have been there. Seek treatment now that is it something you “control” because if you wait until it spirals into a disorder (and it will honey) it will be much much harder on you.

no bulimic is when you want to become skinny so you eat then throw it up on purpose…then when you keep doing that, then it stays and becomes a disease where you cant help it your body just does it cause its use to it, just like anerexia..you dont eat, then it will stick with you, thats y alot of people die from it..but if it keeps doing that, you might want to call a doc
