[quote=Anonymous]Another former bulimic here.  23:48 is spot on, bulimia is not an effective weight management tool.  Even if you ignore the (many) health consequences, you will impact your metabolic rate significantly if you engage in the binge/purge cycle.  In addition, it creates this terrible physiological pattern - you eat high calories food, you purge and empty your stomach.  Inevitability, you are hungry soon after and you reach for more food.  What kind of food do you tend to reach for after b/p???  Salad - um, no!!!  More high calorie foods and the cycle continues and you end up ingesting a significant amount of calories even after putting your body through the multiple purges.

Bulimia is NOT NOT NOT a weight loss or weight maintencace plan.  It simply does NOT work and takes a terrible toll on your body, energy, mood and relationships.  I would urge the PP that is locked in the b/p cycle to seek treatment.  The thing that finally kicked it for me was realizing that I was modeling eating habits for DD and was putting her at high risk of developing bulimia.  [/quote]
