i'm an occasional bulimic. i only force myself to throw up when i feel i really need to, like awhile ago. i ate so much at a restaurant tonight that i didn't feel good. so either i spend the rest of the night feeling that way or throw up and feel better. i chose the latter. my stomach muscle would ache though. that's what usually happens when i throw up. i don't think this type of bulimia is dangerous because i've been doing this for years and i never became addicted to it. i'm not a full-blown bulimic. just a very occasional one. i know i should really lose weight so i don't have to do this again but it really hard to control my appetite. if i could, i wouldn't have to throw up in the first place.
