| Making yourself throw up your food ~ sounds like a good idea at first...but WAIT! Did you know that EVERY TIME you force yourself to vomit, you are upsetting your body's balance of vital nutrients and minerals like potassium and run the risk of SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST? Is it really worth it? |

| Melissa Booth wanted to lose weight quickly, too, and in discovering anorexia and bulimia she also found a way to "cope" with all of her OTHER problems by, in reality, NOT coping with them. (Make sense???) So she starved, and binged and purged, until one day her poor little heart just gave out. She fell asleep one night, just like every other night before, and she never woke up. SHE HAD A HEART ATTACK IN HER SLEEP AND SHE DIED. So, how long do you think she had an eating disorder? Five years? NO. Three years? NO. Two? No. She was bulimic for five months. Five short, sweet months. And it killed her. She will never go to her senior prom, get married, have children, go to college, or have a good career. All of her dreams got flushed down the toilet. And if you think you can puke "just a few times" and you'll be done with it...that's just NOT how it works. Your body adapts to starving and purging very quickly, and it is VERY ADDICTIVE BEHAVIOR!!! I said the same thing at one point. I was once the one looking for "tips". Tips on how to purge and starve. In reality, they were tips on how to slowly kill myself. But I'm lucky. I'm here, and I'm so thankful everyday when I look into my baby boy's eyes and hold my husband close to me...it all could have ended like THAT just so I could be a size six instead of a size eight. So, is starving yourself and purging really worth the weight loss if it can end up costing you so much more? You tell me. |
| SHE thought it was a good idea, too... |

| The above is a picture of an esophagus which has been damaged. This damage was caused by repeated vomiting, during which your stomach acid eats away at your esophagus. Not a pretty picture, is it? |
 |
| And that same stomach acid also eats away at your tooth enamel over time, making your pearly whites NOT so pearly. |

| Many anorexics and bulimics end up in the hospital due to anything from dehydration to life-threatening electrolyte imbalances and organ failure, or even a heart attack. Some don't even make it to the hospital...that's how SUDDENLY death can occur due to the upset in your body's vital nutrients and minerals. |
CLICK HERE to find out the most common causes of death amoung bulimics and anorexics, and how it actually FEELS and what happens to your body when you suffer from an eating disorder. It IS suffering. |
| If you currently don't purge or starve yourself regularly, my hopes and prayers are that you WON'T...and don't want to. |
