Greenleaves, we've been through this a number of times now, you realize? You say you're trying to make yourself throw up, you get a lot of good responses and say you understand -- and then you come back and say that you're trying to throw up.

I'm sorry that you feel the need to do this. Both to do something as profoundly stupid as trying to develop an eating disorder, and that you feel as though the only way to get attention is through this sort of behavior and communication. I've given you advice you know is good. I have had an eating disorder since before you were born, and I know how much misery is involved. I know how angry I get when I hear jokes about anorexia or bulimia, and you know what? That's what this is feeling like to me now -- as thoughtless and cruel as a lot of those jokes. If you really want to make yourself vomit, and you aren't planning to stop, that's your choice. Go ahead. But I won't play that game anymore.

No more, on this subject. I will no longer respond to anything you write about making yourself vomit to lose weight.
