am i bulimic

Today should be an exciting day for me I hit my first goal weight! But instead I am so nervous that I might be bulimic. I do not spit up every time I eat but I do 98% of the time which I know is not good. I don’t force it up I just bend over the toilet and it comes right out. I go to the doctor in August (cant go before then bc of work) and I plan on talking to him about it then I just want to get others peoples opinions and see if this has happened to anyone else.

Also I've noticed that some mornings I wake up and feel like something is stuck and when it finally comes up it is black! Anyone ever experienced this?

    Honey, I am so sorry you're having this issue. I believe if you are not compulsively making yourself vomit, then that is not bulimia. However, I hope for your health you talk to a therapist about yo

    If you can bend over the toilet and what you ate comes back up, that's regurgitation, not vomiting and indicates esophageal damage. Food isn't getting to your stomach, it's stuck in your esophagus.

I have not experienced the black part but everything else I am experiencing now.

I hope you have seen a doctor by now Please let us know what happened. This is scary stuff.

I went and seen my doctor I was to tight. It did take me getting dehydrated to go but I have learned my lesson. But everything is fine now and I am keeping everything down.
