This question makes no sense unless you suffer from bulimia. If you're bulimic, you should get help.

ODD question. Call an eating disorder hotline.

Assuming you don't want calories,it seems like it would be a little to late.

What you should be asking is - 'what is this doing to my body?' Get help before you end up in hospital, either voluntarily or on a section. Incidentally, what you are doing will rot your teeth - what's the point of being skinny when you have teeth like grave stones? And this is only the tip of the iceberg. Perhaps you feel you have no control in your life and this is a way to get some modicum of control back, by controlling your eating, bingeing and purging, but eventually the illness will end up controlling you. Please get help from your GP - he will point you in the direction of a good therapist who will probably work with you on Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) or Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). Both are excellent therapies for bulimia and anorexia. Much more is known now about these illnesses, so you'll get all the help you need and more; you just have to ask. Meanwhile im sure your friends on EP will be happy to lend an ear - there has to be at least one who has had similar experiences. All the best.xx

one can vomit regardless of how much time has passed after eating. however, if you're trying to avoid caloric absorption you're probably too late.

Well....odd..but if you try to throw up right after eating it would probably hurt more. Let your food digest a little. If your body "needed" to throw up, it would. Unless you just took a fist full of sleeping pills, then by all means chuck away. If not take some pepto or alka-seltzer.

gross....I have better things to do than vomit..Why do people eat and then just puke it up?? I seriously do not understand the concept..defies all logic....If you wanna lose weight just exercise! You can eat like a horse!! I am 4'9", and slim and I eat a full 3 meals a day, a glass of chocolate milk, and a candy bar or ice cream almost every day..and I don't gain weight because I burn it off...Try that instead of barfin up yer food!! :)

Are you seriously asking us how to teach you to be bullimic? You have got to be kidding. This is seriously the saddest post I have seen on here.

t's too late for what you're trying to accomplish...

I've done what you're doing and it only makes me feel even worse about myself and it really doesn't work. Please be smart and stop this before it gets worse.
