Does anyone have any issues with self-induced vomiting? Basically I'll eat either with the intention of throwing up, OR I'll eat and realize it made me really full, and then make myself throw up. Sometimes what I eat can be a big meal, but if you saw me eating it you wouldn't be like "oh my god he is eating so much." On average I'd say it's as much as a hamburger with fries. I could get more into detail, but I was hoping someone might have some experience. I am currently seeing a therapist for this and also on medication. As my depression as gotten worse, so has this issue. I know that this issue is typically associated with bulimia. That's not what I'm talking about (according to two therapists I don't fit the criteria for bulimia, but I do fit criteria for "eating disorder not otherwise specified" - - not that it matters what the DSM IV says, I'm just trying to explain my situation. I'm an average-sized guy and I do like how my body looks.) I didn't realize this was really a problem for me until I started doing it more and more, and now it is something I do several times a week, sometimes every day, especially when I am depressed. I realize this is very unhealthy. Very bad for my body. I was hoping someone might have some experience or insight about this. Again, I understand from a medical perspective this is very, very not good for me.
