bulemia....?

[cozmokramer]

Why is it that I always read that people that eat a ton and then throw up don't lose weight...?

I would think that the throwing up after eating removes calories creating a calorie deficit... so doesn't a calorie deficit create weight loss...?

For one thing, bulimia makes you really tired. You have no energy. All you want to do is sleep.

Plus, you can never really be sure that you are getting all of the food out of your body. Most bulimics binge on really "bad" foods--and have no disapline when it comes to eating them---there are times when a bulimic can't purge, and the food has to stay in their body.

Alot of bulimics, will eat normal most of the day, and then have a binge here and there.

But yes, if you were purging all the food you put in your body, you would basically be starving.


Pretty sad, eating disorders in general.

See, I don't think a person can throw up EVERYTHING they have just eaten. Keep in mind, these people eat so much that they almost destroy their mechanism that tells them "they are full". As a result, they binge like madman. Have you ever seen a 350lb bodybuilder eat a "BIG MEAL"? Well, these 90lb girls/(boys too), would make the 350 pounder look like a 4 year old with the way they eat. Also, they do not throw up all the time within the first 1 hour, sometimes it takes them up to 3 hours to purge. This, would surely have some fat storing properties.
Although, I am not an expert on bolimia, I had some studies that I did in my undergraduate work. I really cannot recall a lot of detail, but all I can remember that IT'S BAD. I mean real bad, it takes a toll on your body that is so harsh, that in most cases it can be worst then drugs.

It's not the lack of food that kills bulimics, like anorexia, it's the sides. Rotted teeth, acid refluc, cardiac arrest....

Hi, not to be rude, but how does that connect with having bulimia?

 

[cozmokramer]

jennifer... thank you! i was just thinking the same!

It depends on the type of bulimia a person has.

Some bulimics starve themselves all day until late at night when no one is around to go someplace secret and eat eat eat eat eat and eat crap crap crap crap. Immediately after, they'll hurl it all out. These bulimics are the skinny ass ones. They're basically anorexics.

Other bulimics are relatively weak in the eating discipline area. I guess they try to eat well, but they have cheat meals more frequently than once a week. After each piece of pie, bowl of ice cream, cookie, whatever...they throw it up. These people look relatively normal because they digest the things they consider to be good food.

Bulimia

It will also kill you cardiac arrest style.

On the way it will rot you teeth, damage you liver and kidneys, you will suffer from chronic dehydration and an electrolyte imbalance.

I can pick out someone with an eating disorder in a crowded room. I can watch them and see their mannerisms and see it in their skin and in their eyes.

I lost my best friend in high school to this disease.

I watched her be proud that she could puke on command without shoving her finger or a spoon down her throat.

I watched her boyfriend tie her down during and after meals.

I watched her teeth gray, her hair thin out and dull and I watched her beauty and sparkle get flushed down the toilet.

None of us could help her.
