hi, im a high school girl struggling with body image. i eat a lot of food and then i make myself vomit and poop afterwards. i am so fat im like 82 kg or 180 lbs and liposuction sounds more and more enticing if thats the word, but i heard ill just have a saggy flap of skin. maybe if not continue to vomit and poop, i will just work out like the fatass i am.

Hi. Your description suggests you might have an eating disorder. In that case, it's fundamental you look for professional health assistance ASAP, and before deciding to go into any surgical procedure. A professional may help you discover what is the source of your compulsion for food, and help you treat it by the root.

Second: regular exercise is always a good suggestion, regardless of it's effect in weight loss. Even if the balance shows the same weight, your boy might be changing bad far for good fat and muscle, and getting active in a way that will boost your confidence and your overall health, in ways that can't be measured just through your weight.

Good luck, and take care of yourself!
