Hi,

If you constantly throw up, it's not that you will become anorexic, but you will have many health problems from repeated vomiting.

Your teeth may become sensitive to heat, cold, and acids. Eventually, your teeth may severely decay, erode away from fillings, and finally fall out.

Your blood potassium levels can drop significantly with regular vomiting or use of certain diuretics. This can disturb your heart's rhythm and even produce sudden death.

Salivary glands may swell because of infection and irritation from the vomit. You may at some point suffer from stomach ulcers and bleeding and tears in your esophagus. Constipation may result from frequent laxative use.

When bulimic episodes occur over time, a sequence of chronic illnesses can occur affecting your heart, liver, gastrointestinal tract, and/or neurologic complications.

The way to lose weight is through healthy diet and exercise. Eat 4-6 SMALL meals a day, consisting of lean meats, whole-grain starches, fruits and vegetables. Set up your plate so 1/4 is meat, 1/4 is starch, 1/2 is fruit and veggies, and there is minimal fat.

If you do this as well as drink 8 glasses of water a day and exercise for 30 min a day a few times a week, you will see healthy results.

I'm not trying to scare you...just telling you the facts. Try to eat small portions often and keep it down!

Good luck.

If you can't keep food down, see your Doctor asap...I wish you the best !!

no you will not become anexoric. but if i were you i would go and get your stomach looked at ..maybe you have ulcers or something...no don't worry about that but its defiently not a good thing thats going on...throwing up all the time is not good for your teeth, esopogus (- don't know how to spell that) tube, everything that the other person there told you prkswllflwr...
