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.

It's increased so fast in the US they needed new colors for the heat maps.
