I'm sorry i'm only 17 and a male.

The reason ya wont be losing weight, anyone for that fact, by just dieting as that is removing, lets say, 1/4 of what your body needs, so your body stores up on what your 'cutting' from your diet, so that goes to fat.

To lose weight, ya gotta cut the bad food from yer diet, eat mroe healthy and excerise-thats the big factor.

Throwing up is bad, because when you do eat food and don't throw it up it will go straight to fat and then chances are, you'll feel worse-this becomes a rather bleak downwards spiral.

Please don't do this to yourself.

Hi, i'm 42 years old and recovering from a long battle with anorexia. For us older women, eating disorders are even more harmful & deadly, because our bodies can't take as much abuse.

On young girls you can hardly see the effects sometimes, but I had a few friends that died when they were in their 30's from heart failure because of bulimia. It's not the answer to weight loss, believe me!

Even if you don't die, you may end up like another friend of mine - age 47 - has to use a walker to get around becuase her bones are so breakable, has hardly any teeth & has also lost alot of her hair. She looks & feels horrible, is in & out of hospitals, & even when she finally starts eating right it's too late. Her body is ruined.

Don't do this to yourself!!!
