Many bulimics die while in the process of purging
It's true. Many bulimics who die are found unconcious next to the toilet bowl. Some are found face down in the toilet, vomit on their face and in their hair. Many die in their sleep from an electrolyte imbalance.  Some literally drop dead from sudden cardiac arrest, many while exercising.  Others don't die from a cardiac arrest, but from literally choking to death on their own vomit. IS THIS REALLY HOW YOU WANT TO DIE?? This is not a neat weight loss trick - it is not a game - it is not pretty - you are playing with death everytime you do this. If you suffer, PLEASE, get help before it's too late! It's too late for these eating disorder victims.

Bulimia is not pretty. It is not fun. It makes you weak. It makes you exhausted. You eat until your stomach feels like it is going to explode. You throw up, bits of your vomit smacking you in your face.  You do your best to hide your illness. You have red marks across your knuckles from when you shove your fingers down your throat and they scrape against your teeth. Or maybe your stomach is so used to regurgitating that you spontaneously vomit when you bend over. You are pale. You are shaky. You find it hard to breathe. You are constipated. You retain water like the hoover dam. You starve for a day. The next day, you eat all of the food in the house. You feel guilty. You feel ashamed.You make yourself vomit. Your heart skips a few beats. You feel faint. You overexercise. You become dehydrated. You retain more water. You pass out. You abuse laxatives. Your tooth enamel gets eaten away by stomach acid. Your cheeks are puffy from swollen glands, which only convinces you even more that you are fat. Maybe you lose some weight. Maybe you are bulimiarexic and you lose a lot of weight. Maybe you b/p so often that you GAIN weight, which is not uncommon. Your self worth is totally determined by the number on the scale instead of who you are on the inside. You feel trapped. This may make you suicidal. The serotonin levels in your brain get messed up from your frequent vomiting, often attributing to violent mood swings You would rather be dead than fat. Well, THESE PEOPLE ARE. What good is being thin if it kills you??? Being thin cannot bring you happiness. BULIMIA KILLS! You become isolated, and miserable.
Is THIS really how you want to die???
Death occurs do to the sudden upset of electrolyte balance, loss of vitamins and minerals which occurs EVERY TIME you
self-induce vomiting
  If you make yourself vomit, you will notice a funny fluttering of the heart which occurs due to the sudden loss of VITAL vitamins and minerals, such as sodium, potassium, and magnesium. THIS CAN CAUSE SUDDEN DEATH!!! It doesn't matter whether it is your first time or millionth time doing it, it can still KILL YOU! It can cause your heart to just STOP BEATING.
Most anorectics die
from malnurishment to their bodies.
Their organs literally waste away
as their body searches for protien.
Often times, their heart just gives out.
Anorexia IS NOT PRETTY. It IS NOT FUN. It makes you WEAK. It makes you TIRED. It makes you IRRITABLE. You become OBSESSED.  You no longer control it.  IT controls YOU.  It hurts to sit down, or lay down, because you no longer have any "cushion"...just bone. You stand all the time. You exercise all the time. You are always anxious, always moving around. You faint. You get dizzy everytime you stand or move too quickly. You are constipated. Your hair falls out in clumps, and is dry and brittle. Your skin is an unnatural color. You have bruises all over your body, you have no muscle. You have to dress in layers of clothing because you are always so cold. You look like death walking. You are pale. You lack the ability to concentrate. You deny that anything is wrong. You cut your apple up into tiny dices and make yourself chew each dice at least thirty times. Or you chew it up and then spit it out into a napkin when you parents aren't watching. Your blood does not clot, if you get a cut, you could bleed to death. You find what you think to be a (miniscule) amount of fat on your thigh and thus make yourself work out for three hours. You take diet pills and laxatives. You want to be thin. You would DIE to be thin. You already ARE thin. Too thin. You think you are fat. You would rather be DEAD than fat. Well, these people ARE. When you are dead, it will not matter that you were thin. All of that hard work, for nothing. What does thinness get you? Not happiness. Not comfort. Not anything that truly matters in this life. ANOREXIA gets you DEATH. Is this REALLY how you want to die???

Flushing your life down the drain?
These people have died due to their eating disorder, some in their SLEEP from sudden cardiac arrest. THROWING UP IS DANGEROUS
The media: brainwashing America?
Since when are bones beautiful?
Many people have died from anorexia and bulimia and binge-eating (seeing as 60% of American are overweight, who's to say how many actually have an ed?)
It's such a shame.
