How to Purge

-When purging, stick your fingers as far down as you can and keep them their until you can’t anymore. This will be hard he first few times, but it’ll get easier after time, unfortunately.
-Eat liquidie type foods that come up easily (ice cream, soup, milkshakes)
-Weigh yourself before purging and after purging to make sure you got rid of everything is a pro ana mia trick.
-If you plan on eating and purging…..Don’t eat chips or meat. Avoid spicy foods and chocolate. Chocolate tastes awful coming up and spicy foods can burn your nose These can hurt to purge
- Don’t go to brush your teeth immediately after purging….Wait to brush your teeth. Brushing right away can help the acid decay your teeth. Garggle water or mouth wash, then after an hour brush. Use a mouth wash or tooth paste that has an enamel protector in it.
-Using the end of a toothbrush can be good for stimulating a gag reflex to prevent your hands being damaged from acid, but it takes long and can often hurt, but many bulimic’s use this method.
-Splash your face with cold water after purging to help reduce redness and teary eyes.
-Always keep q-tips in your bag to clean up any eye make- up that runs while purging, not to mention a little cover up and some blush to retouch up if you are a public purger.
-Always gargle water after a purge, the stomach acid can build up in your salivary glands and make your face swollen (criteria in diagnosing Bulimia that psychologists and doctors look for) This is why so many bulimic’s have the chubby cheek look.

  2. You have got to be fucking kidding me. Are you joking? Eating disorders DESTROY lives. I started purging when I was a teenager and ten years later am still doing it. What kind of person would want to inflict that devastation and harm on another person?
    Eating disorders are not a game. Bulimia is not a game. It's an ILLNESS.
    I understand that maybe you think it's a cool thing to have/do, but it isn't. It's an actual nightmare. I hope you delete this post before it wrecks someone's life.
