Bulimia is never the way to lose weight. I on the other hand have the complete opposite problem. For a year i have been eating right and exercising regularly but I have not been able to lose the weight. I ended up going back to my old habits (bulimia) and now i am dropping weight quickly. I guess you can say I am a "healthy" bulimic. If that is even possible. Some people are bulimic but they still consume a lot of calories and of course you can't , nor do you want to purge everything you eat.
