How do I get them to stop?!
Question: How do I get them to stop.?
Some of my friends recently found out that I'm bulimic. They keep on telling me to stop and get help but I don't want or need to! Why can't they just leave me alone.?! I know that they are only doing it because they care, but it is so annoying! This is something that I need to do and choose to do. How can I just get them to stop with out doing the obvious and stopping myself!.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
Your friends are just saying that because they care. But they're right. It's not healthy, and in the end it will either just make you gain more and more weight or die. Neither of those are healthy. I used to be anorexic, which is different, I am aware, but it's the same concept: lose weight and fast! But now I've learned that I don't need to be stick-skinny to be happy. Your friends can't and shouldn't try to be making you stop. It is your choice, but let me tell you from experience, it's a bad one. When you are bulimic or anorexic, your body slows down its metabolism to your unfed diet, and so when you choose to stop, it will make you even heavier, really fast, depending on when you started. But that's not even the worst that can happen. You can die, which I hardly expect that you want. I really hope that's not what you want. Not only does your body suffer from lack of food, but bulimia really takes a toll on your vocal cords. Please, reconsider your decision and quit. Your friends are right, but you need to let them know that it's not their place to make you stop or their decision. I hope you chose the right thing. Good luck.Health Question & Answer
You really need to listen to your friends and get help with this problem. You may think this is a small problem right now, but you really need to think about the damage you are doing to your body (physically and mentally). Your friends care and don't want you to hurt yourself, or worse, kill yourself.Health Question & Answer

"This is something that I need to do and choose to do"
This is NOT something you need to do, but it is something you have chosen to do. I don't care what arguments you may have about why you need to do it. They are irrelevant as there are a million alternatives to losing weight.
Bulimia is a SEVERE eating disorder and a mental disorder. People DIE (I'll say it again... PEOPLE DIE) from bulimia. It can cause irreparable damage to your body and your mental health. It affects every system of your body. It destroys your throat. It destroys your mouth. It can destroy your brain (YES, YOUR BRAIN). You can get a heart attack from being bulimic. You can get a stroke. PEOPLE DIE.
Do you really want to die.? Because none of your friends want you to die.
Being bulimic is not just an eating disorder. Being bulimic is also a mental disorder. Your friends can see that being bulimic is very harmful to your health, so why can't you.?
I'm sorry, but you have no sympathy from me, especially when one of my friends actually did die from the severe damage to her throat from vomiting. She didn't listen to anyone's concerns and because of that EVERYONE suffered. She died. But we all died with her because she didn't take the steps to actually get healthy.
Do yourself a favor and at least educate yourself about what bulimia will do to your body. Read about what it is. Read about the consequences. If you can't do that then you really need help.
Do yourself a favor and don't make your friends and family suffer just because you are selfish and don't wish to stop destroying your body and essentially your life. If your friends are smart, one of them will get you the help that you need by telling your parents or a counselor.
