Very sad. true. it eventually takes a toll on you to where u cant control it anymore. i know from experience. it was horrible. it got to the point where i wouldnt allow anythng to digest. not even water. i can remember wanting to stop so badly but couldnt.
i would rather die being thin then being over weight like i was. im not bingeing and purgeing these days but if the time should come around again i would gladly do it until i could do it no longer. i have even said that to my 2 sister that are over weight.
you lose weight but have tremendous health consequences…i don’t really see how that works…if losing weight at all costs is the goal, without relation to health and without retaining free will or much hope for the future…then congrats.
It’s so sad:(
@kuhleskind
so far I’ve been away from this THING for about 2 months which is pretty good.
but what do you mean by im doing it wrong?
personally I’m not planing on starting again….. due to the fact that I started boxing again and need mucho food.
but I’m interested. what are the DOs and DON’Ts…. at one point in time i actually WAS loosing weight, but yea
basically I’ve finally got my mind and emotion on the right track and i feel better than ever without being sick
bulimia worked for me, when i started i weighed 295 now i weigh 170 it works
that’s because ur not doing it right..bulimia does help u lose weight, if u do it right.
that is NOT what bulimia is about. in fact bulimics are often loners, do not date and sex is not why they want to be thin. and bulimics are also most often over achievers, and very driven and succesful at all they do…unlike typical girls today who just want to look cute and have nothing to offer but to lay on their backs for some piece of **** guy.
hey lets all be dumb bitches and loose some weight so we can go ***** around! maybe theres more important things in life than looking and good and having sex, try and find a job
what do you mean? YOur weight’s the same. or ur lighter now that you’re fighting this monster?
Liar. I was 20 lbs heavier before. i’m 5’7 and weigh 110 lbs. I used to weight 130 lbs.
dat just goes to show you that bulimics come in different sizes and you can’t detect bulimis by someone’s weight.
mmm im 19 years old and i weigh 15 more pounds than i did 3 years ago
i guess after reading yours i feel a bit silly…
I’ve been into this for about a year…
I weighed less b4 i started
bulimia won’t help you lose weight..
you’ll only lose your happiness
you’ve only gained 10 pounds a year.
you can lose it all by diet and working out..
nothing comes easy
and cheaters never prosper…
controlling eating is just as much of a discipline as working out
but i understand why its hard
God rest her soul. I know she is proud of you for continuing this video in her memory. I am sure she would want people to know what can and ultimately does happen when continued.

rip sarah……so sad…..
i dont know the story of the girl who died of bulimia but i think today there is so much pressure put on young children to look like their popstars/models to look thin. the reality is a lot of the magazines airbrush the image. i really dont like parents who put their toddlers/ young kids like 5yrs old into beauty pagents. kids should be eating ice cream and playing in the mud, grazing their knees etc
I sense the love she received from her family. Existed love makes her destiny ever more painfully sad. If even love and deeds of love can’t help us what is left? Memories, pain, weakness, sorrow. It’s so obvious Sarah had joy of life inside her. But what is the thing that too often defeats that joy?
I can’t imagine the amount of tears and rage her family must have gone thru. Just one undefined huge pain.

FROST DETECTORS!br/lol
im so sorry for ur loss. bless her
I am bulimic I dont really know why. I am trying to overcome it but I am 36 and it’s a daily struggle. I weigh 100 pounds more now than I did 10 years ago and I don’t deal with it very well but I have times of weight losses and gains. One of these days I hope to overcome. My heart goes out to you.

May you find peace in your loss. ED’s are relentless. Thanks for sharing your story.
It really makes me sad when people show home videos of the person as a child.. so innocent and happy, who knew one day this would be her fate?
At least now she’s in peace wherever she is or how ever.
shes not fat…
