If you are bulemic, your body isn't getting any nourishment. It's response is to hold on to it's fat stores (and possibly take as much fat as it can out of the food while it's in your stomach) because it thinks that there is not going to be any food for a while. It's a survival technique.
Overweight people might become bulimic as a dangerous and un-healthy way to lose weight. Not all bulimics lose weight, either. Some may remain at their weight and some bulimics may even gain some weight.
I've sufferd with bulimia for 3 and a half years..at times you do loose weight depending on how much you are throwing up after binges..sometimes you put weight on because you are eating just a ridiculous amount of food and not vomiting enough.
I'ts like a circle..my weight differs between 8 stone 5 pounds to 9 stone 7 pounds!
When you do loose weight you tend to loose it very quickly because your eating very little and what you do eat you throw up,but when you "try" to start to eat normally you put on the weight back on just as fast.
Your weight is constantly up and down. I've never been over weight personally. For me bulimia isn't just about being "thin" its a way of control..you cant get out of.
Eating a "normal,balanced,diet" is the most difficult thing for a bulimic person can manage. It's either one extreme to the other ; eating hardly anything OR just way too much. It becomes a brutal chore.
i have the same problem. i am bulimic but i am gaining weight. the reason is because i dont throw up on time. i am so worn out that i sometimes forget to throw up and fall asleep.
when i was more into my bulimia i would throw everything up until i had blood coming out. that is how i maintained my weight for so long and was able to eat everything i wanted. now im to the point that i cant be as dedicated anylonger. You are probably not throwing up immediatly and you need to drink plenty of fluids so it is easier to throw all of it up.
