I don't think you can really be a 'healthy' bulimic. I'm not bulimic but I have read about it. Your swollen glands and swollen face are from the vomiting (don't know why it causes it though). Although you are eating and drinking healthily I still think your daily vomiting is going to upset your body's chemistry over time. I also hope you take good care of your teeth - the acid erodes the enamel. Don't brush after throwing up though, it just scrapes off more weakened enamel. The problem with eating disorders is that it all starts off innocently and you think you'll be ok and will be able to manage it (like now, you're eating healthily) but it might not also be like that. I know somebody on this board who has vomited so regularly over the past years that now she has no control over whether or not she purges after eating, her body does it for her. Since you've been able to see a psychotherapist about it, perhaps you could go and visit another one and see what they say. It sounds like he didn't know much about eating disorders since he told you to eat more during the day - did he think you purged through over-eating at night or something?

Oh and welcome to the site, I just noticed you're new
